and hello, Commodore.
Chosen not for his daddy’s college alma mater, but for one of his current fave bands:
(how cool is it that my fourteen year old loves to listen to vinyl LP’s of Linda Rondstadt and the Commodores and the Sex Pistols and the Rolling Stones?)
(waaaaaaaay cooler than I was at fourteen, that’s for sure.)

So, on Friday, Rainbow was messing around on the floor of the family room (plunked down in the middle of his toy campus) next to the coffee table. Daddy J was sitting in the armchair with his laptop, and I went into the kitchen for something.
When I walked back in, he was TOTALLY STANDING [...]

I had such a great time with my mom yesterday. It’s so nice that after my (ahem.) early adolescence, we are all friendly now and love to meet up and catch up. It’s such a cozy, feminine activity, and seems to be the one big bonus of being the mother of a daughter: [...]

I’m totally wasting my Rainbow morning nap/shower time squeezing in a post here, which is especially ridiculous considering I have nothing much to say and haven’t even brushed my teeth yet, but let’s just see where this goes.
(TOTALLY just an excuse to drink a third cup of coffee.)
Rainbow is just over the top with [...]

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.
The Fishmaster dressed as Wormwood from The Screwtape [...]

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 [...]

Feeling very blessed (and blissed) this morning. The big boys are doing amazingly well at their challenging schools, making friends, getting good reports from teachers, and just having a terrific year so far. Rainbow is an adorable, healthy little love. I get to be married to Daddy J and have this life [...]

I sent F another short note yesterday. It’s a pretty easy habit I’m falling into; I write a short little update toward the end of the week, sometimes skipping a week, but it’s never more than two weeks between mail. And every 3-4 weeks, I mail both her and J a card with [...]

yet all is well.
Rockinrolla is feeling great. He was deeply annoyed that he couldn’t go outside and play on Wednesday, and we sent him back to school on Thursday. When I suggested that he might want to consider skipping the two hour basketball practice yesterday afternoon, you’d have thought I suggested he forgo [...]

has arrived at our house.
Rockinrolla is infected with the Dread Pig, which, so far, has proved to be a toothless, wimpy little thing, not the menacing razorback I had feared.
He started feeling bad Saturday morning, mostly just very sleepy. I thought it was due to a tough week at school. We had a [...]
