Yesterday

Yesterday was the conclusion of Operation: Paint the House.
And by “House”, I mean the entryway, hallways, living room, and around the window in the dining room. (Oh! and the laundry room door. Don’t forget that.)
Everyday, during naptime, late at night, early in the morning, just painting. Or getting ready to paint. Which, frankly, takes as [...]

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?

Ah, the milestones of babyhood

You know, all the big important ones like rolling over, sitting up and…

swatting at inanimate objects.

It’s feels like I’m on a rollercoaster….

Up and down.  Up and Down.
Things are looking good, things are looking bad.
I want my boring life back.
Oh, yeah. I’ve never had one of those.
So, in lieu of a real post, I thought I’d give you something else to read. And if you’re like me right now, you’d prefer something funny. So, I give you….
It’s [...]

If you give a man a camera…

You’ll have to tell him to take your picture.

After he takes your picture, he’ll tell you to look up.

Then he’ll tell you to smile.

If you smile, then he’ll tell you to look natural.

And then he’ll tell you to “keep talking”.

He’ll say, “hold her up.”

“More to the right.”

And then he’ll ask to see her toes.

And weeks [...]

Clearly, The BLOG is not my highest priority right now.

You can feel good knowing that it’s not at the bottom of the list however. Yesterday I finally took the time to remove the last remnants of the nail polish I had painted on my toes TWO WEEKS before Felicity was born.
I probably shouldn’t admit that I’ve been wearing sandals everyday since then either.
And I [...]

A moment in time.

It has been four weeks since I gave birth!
That’s like a month! How is that even possible? (I know. I know. I’m going to be saying that at kindergarten graduation, high school, college and then at her wedding. But still. A month!)
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to say this but it’s almost [...]

The difference between the first and the fourth is drama.

To be honest, I haven’t really noticed a difference between having a boy versus a girl. At this point, Felicity does the same things her brothers did.
Eat, sleep, and you know.
And then she does it all again.
But I have noticed a difference between having the first baby (and even the second and third) and the [...]

I think I broke the rules. (I still get to keep her, don’t I?)

It wasn’t totally my fault though.
So, Felicity had an appointment and had her PKU test done. Which is a little blood test. And as per usual with babies, she got a little bit of blood on her yellow sleeper. It was a light cotton knit sleeper not one of those heavier terry cloth sleepers, which [...]

Let the doting begin…

The boys insisted on throwing a Birth Day Party for Felicity yesterday.

Grandma was more than willing to oblige.

On the way to the store, the boys thought about what a little girl would like. At first, the suggestions were along the lines of Star Wars, cars, swords, and legos.

But when they got to the store, they [...]
