The Photo Contest Results
Or should we say the answers?
The whole point of this was just to have an excuse to show you some of our house (which several people have been asking for) and I thought I’d start by showing you some of the weirder aspects of our house. Next time I can show the things I like [...]

A photo contest (of sorts)
The “of sorts” means it’s the best kind of contests.
The ones with no prizes at the end!
Awesome.
Try to curb your enthusiasm a little.
So, I took pictures of areas in our current house that we’re not crazy about. Some areas we like less than others. And some of us here like these areas less than other [...]

Six years ago today…
I woke up
from a nap
in a wet bed.
One hour later,
at 3:04 p.m.
I gave birth
to a sweet,
quiet,
little
8 pound, 2 ounce
baby boy.
He had
very long
fingernails
and
fuzzy red hair.
Today,
he is no longer
little,
nor quiet,
but he is still very
sweet.
Tonight,
we will
celebrate
with
angel food cake
and out-of-season
fresh
strawberries.
Because
my red-headed
boy
loves
strawberries.
But
not
as much
as
I love him.

Have I ever mentioned…
that we live near a river now?
A very icy river to be precise.
At least when it’s cold.
And it’s definitely cold right now.
Oooh. The Beach. I love going to the beach.
Do not tell me that is the beach. I wouldn’t believe you anyway.
Yes. We need a shortcut right now. ‘Cause that? That was not a [...]

I’m thinkin’…Twins=Unlikely
Next week I promise I’ll post about something more interesting than my non-existent belly.
It’s actually much harder to take pictures of yourself than it looks. But after all I’ve put you through, I thought you deserved some more. You’re totally welcome.
So this is me at 15 weeks 2 days. Before I started this photo shoot, [...]

If you don’t hate me yet, you will now.
It all started innocently enough. My cousin, Sarah sent me this maternity shirt, so naturally I tried it on. And it fit, but it was also kind of huge. So I thought I should see what it will look like when I start to look pregnant. You know how they have those pregnant belly pillows [...]

The Fourth Times a Charm
When I was pregnant with my first baby, I didn’t show for a long, long time.
I was way smaller than anyone else who was pregnant at the same time.
Including women who were due after me.
Including all the first time Moms that I knew.
I just didn’t show much. I could wear regular clothes for a long [...]

With Knowledge, Comes Responsibility
After six months, countless hundreds tens of e-mail exchanges, a lot of procrastination, a few moments of twiddling thumbs, and one complaint post, I finally figured out how to put pictures on my blog. I guess it wasn’t too hard.
Too bad it’s just an old picture that you’ve probably already seen.
When did they get so [...]

How to ruin your daughter’s life in one easy step.
Step 1: Allow her 7-year-old brother to name her.
You’re done! Now start saving for therapy.
We woke up early on Saturday morning and started discussing baby names. Specifically girl baby names. I can’t say we’ve gotten too far after talking about it for several hours, but at least we’re thinking about it. Then the boys came [...]
