I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

Our last stop before California was Phoenix, where we got to hang out with the Millers. The kids listened to a lot of books, the grownups had wonderful conversations, and I finally got to spend more than 2 hours in person with Bethany! (It’s funny how well you can feel like you know someone just […]
The thrill of Grandma’s house is wearing off, and the kids are counting down the hours ’til Daddy flies out to meet us. Hurry up, Daddy! We miss you!

The kids and I are in serious Laura withdrawal this afternoon after a lovely 5 day visit full of reading, playing, talking (we never run out of things to discuss!), and even a trip to the swimming pool. As soon as we dropped her off at the airport, Tommy turned and said, “Lizzie, don’t you […]

My friend Alice recently gave me her Phil and Teds cocoon because Izzy had grown out of it. It’s essentially a Moses basket that fits into the stroller while in infant mode. The beauty of it is that I can easily move Susanna in and out of the stroller without waking her up, handy when […]
