Then you’re going to have to be content with a thousand words.
‘Cause I got no pictures.
What a week.
I blame the baby. She started off the week sick and decided to cry off and on during the night a few times, sleep in our bed a few times, kick people in the face a few times [...]

If a picture is worth a thousand words…

The moments of our lives
There are those moments in your life when you actually realize, at the time they are happening, that your life is changing forever.
That, from this day onward, things will be different.
For the better, you hope.
Graduating from school, getting married, having a baby.
In those moments, you’re usually astute enough to take a picture.
This was one of [...]

Orange you glad it’s not your birthday cake?
If you can’t guess, J’s favorite animal is a monkey.
His favorite color is orange.
When it’s not yellow and green, that is.
He wanted a monkey cake, but he does not like chocolate so we decided an orange monkey would be perfect.
I think he was okay with it. In his reserved sort of way.
Blowing out five [...]

Growing up is hard to do.
The other day I got out the rest of our summer clothes to sort through. I had the boys try on shorts and t-shirts to see what fit whom. C found a pair of shorts and a shirt that he remembered from several summers back. Size 4T. (He’s a size 6-7, 8.)
He told me it [...]

Like Mother, like daughter II
My mother has a photo of me spitting out mashed bananas when I was a baby. And of all the dislikes to stick, that one has always stuck. I still don’t like bananas.
And it appears I’ve passed it along.
Open your mouth and I’ll give you a yummy surprise!
Aren’t bananas good?
Puh-lease! I’d rather eat paper!
Yeah, [...]

What a difference a year makes.
(Now you’re singing that song, aren’t you?)
This was part of S’s birthday a year ago.
And this is who was making me so sick.
Is it just me or did that year go by in a blink of an eye?

So, you say it’s July now?
When I was brainstorming ideas for the blog this week, I thought, I should post about J turning 4 this month.
Only that happened last month. Like at the beginning of last month.
But, is it ever too late to say Happy Birthday?
Happy 4th Birthday Junebug!
I hope you continue to keep us laughing for years to come.

Be careful what you wish for
A lot of people like to say they don’t regret anything they’ve done in life because it all worked out in the end.
Or maybe it’s because they like to think that they’ve never done anything wrong.
On the one hand, I can see what they’re getting at.
But I don’t have the same feeling. I regret a [...]

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.
