Now I know (I KNOW!) that just about every mama thinks her baby is impossibly beautiful, and I started to feel a little embarrassed about actually feeling that way, too, and then realized that of COURSE we all feel that way, because it’s TRUE:
ALL BABIES ARE IMPOSSIBLY BEAUTIFUL.
So, let me share my impossibly [...]

“Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.”
~Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
I read this last night and just keep chewing on it contentedly. I love it. It makes me feel like “pursuit of happiness” is kind of silly; we should be pursuing what is gratifying, [...]

Galloping, galloping, galloping on through November, with Thanksgiving in my lap, ready for attention, and Christmas pawing at my foot and pressing its nose against my leg.
(oh, Dana, I miss you.)
Some snaps of Ward’s birthday party, celebrated two days early on October 26th.
Yes, Rainbow, it’s a special day.

mmmm, but it’s magnificent outside today.
The sky is a perfect blue,and the leaves are half on/half off, so both sky and ground are blanketed in color. The air is crisp. The pets are happy. The baby is beautiful.

Yesterday, Rainbow woke early from his afternoon nap at about 2:00. He usually sleeps for at least two hours, and this time just slept for a little over an hour. And, my, my, my, but that boy was INCONSOLABLE. He’s hardly ever a crier, but he just could not be made happy. [...]

O, save me from myself. I am VERRRRY tempted to let my inner passive aggressive beeyotch out to play.
Here’s the background: Daddy J and I go to a fundraiser/dinner/music performance on Monday night. We have a great time. We bring wine. There is a silent auction and I bid on four [...]

So, here’s Rainbow with one of his newer tricks – sticking his tongue out and licking his lips. My computer skills do not extend to editing, so move it to 54 seconds or so and watch how cute he is.
And here he is, rolling about on the floor with some [...]

Thank you so much, friends, for commenting and for reading and for just being here. We’ve made it through another birthday, and it was just lovely. The weather was perfect, again, and kids had fun and ate cookies and people admired Ward’s sculpture. I think Daddy J must have downloaded the pics onto his laptop [...]

The last day or so, I keep going back to sort of painful memories. Sort of sad, not-really-sure-why-they-are-popping up memories. I keep thinking about going to the YMCA with Ward when he was an older toddler, close to the time of his accident. I remember taking him to the nursery and walking him in. The nursery people didn’t [...]

So, yes, everything’s actually going wonderfully. Just blindingly fast and busy-like, but all is well.
Rainbow had what is probably the mildest cold ever (thank you, thank you, thank you) and just never got really sick at all. After one morning of a half-hour of icky rivulets from his nostrils, there was just a wee bit [...]
