We really like to try to get the kids professionally photographed once a year, and I’ve been fortunate to know some great photographers in the last two places we’ve lived. A couple weeks ago, it was finally warm enough for Lauren to come over and do a session with Tommy. He was very hard to […]

My Sundress Attempt
Posted in Elizabeth, Sewing Projects on Mar 29th, 2011
Last week I picked up a dress pattern at Walmart on a whim, and here are results #2 and 3 (#1 had to be thrown away because I foolishly followed the directions exactly with disasterous results): (and another pic just because Tommy wanted to be in one:) I’m not thrilled with the pattern (I actually gleefully […]
My Purse, My Cup, and My Cell Phone
Posted in Elizabeth on Mar 25th, 2011
Elizabeth is already an expert in accessories, and this is what she decided she needed for a trip to Walmart… Note that the “cell phone” is a poison control magnet in the shape of a phone. It’s her current favorite “hi”.
One of my “big” purchases over the weekend was an Ikea roll of butcher paper for the kids. They’re loving it!

It’s still mostly cold out, but my nesting instincts are telling me that I need to have some warm weather clothes in […]
Elizabeth at 22 months
Posted in Elizabeth on Mar 15th, 2011
The biggest development I’ve seen in the past month is in Elizabeth’s vocabulary. Though she still prefers to call her brother Buddy, she can say Tommy at last! We can’t catch all her babble, but yesterday morning I understood “I want to eat yogurt and bananas”! She likes to color (“ollow”) with Buddy, ride bikes with […]
So we don’t do day trips the easy way. Yesterday we had a simple plan: drive down to Harrisburg, meet the Gaetanos at the State Museum of PA, play and hang out all day, and come home. Yeah. The kids were so excited until we pulled up in front of the museum. Then Elizabeth started […]
