Mama Jamz, running late as she often occasionally is, gets dogs outside and watered, baby fed and bathed and in a fresh diaper, diaper bag stocked with bottles of formula and spare outfits and diapers and pacifiers and whatnot, tumbler of hot tea in the car, and is off to the doctah!, about 40 minutes away.

I took Rainbow to Wal-mart yesterday. It was a multi-purpose trip: pick up the frickin-frackin-portraits, pick up prints I’d ordered online, return some duplicate and too small baby items, and buy some stuff.
On the way in, an older middle-aged couple came over to admire a sleeping Rainbow as I was getting his carseat situated in the [...]

and you ladies are pretty well anti the ol’ Botox.
Thank you so much for responding! I am still torn, frankly, although I’m not getting any in the immediate future. I talked with a aesthetician RN the other day about it and I am not at all convinced it is Satan’s beauty treatment. It seems, on [...]
shower #4

(and yes, this would be the last of Rainbow’s showers. We are well and truly spoiled.)
It was totally awesome. Rainbow’s godmother, C, and the other five hosts outdid themselves. It was at C’s lovely home, which was decorated in a green and yellow jungle motif, complete with crepe paper hung in swags on the ceiling [...]
Just thinking aloud here…

I guess I’m kind of feeling my age.
Or, more accurately, not feeling my age. I feel about ten years younger, really, and am a little dismayed that my skin doesn’t care how old I feel. It’s going to go right on ahead and age, year by year.
Which, YES, is fine, and what happens to everyone, [...]

was at the Fishmaster’s school.
It was scheduled to be at the instigating mama’s house, but she developed the flu, so the headmaster’s wife switched the location to her home. (The school is pretty unusual in that the headmaster and his wife live in the midst of all the schoolbuildings on a farm.)
It was a book [...]

Here are some sample pics from Jennifer’s photo session with Rainbow.
Do I even need to say how gorgeous I think this child is and how lucky we feel to have him and how grateful we are to Jennifer for sharing her talent and time with us?
VERY gorgeous, VERY lucky, VERY grateful…

In other news, ohmygosh I think that Jennifer captured some of the cutest baby pics evah at my house today. Aside from the christening gown in [...]
Easter baptism/picture bonanza
Posted in Uncategorized on April 13, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Good morning! Rainbow is still gorgeous and delightful, in case you were wondering:
The Fishmaster enjoys holding him fairly well, except when he cuts loose with a noisy bm.
He’s very smiley and happy and is making those irresistible, funny faces and chuckles.
In fact, he’s pretty much a total treat. He is so very cuddly [...]
Easter weekend

Little Rainbow gets baptised this weekend on Easter Sunday.
The Anglican bishop who is performing the ceremony is our family Religious Guy, our go-to man for weddings, christenings, and funerals. He married Daddy J and me almost 15 years ago, spoke at my father’s and Ward’s and Daddy J’s grandfather’s memorial services, and has christened all of [...]
