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: [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
baby’s first cold

Yeah, not so much a happy milestone, but inevitable, I suppose. He’s been kind of crabby the last few days, which I attributed to teething, and coughing just a bit, which I also attributed to teething. But this morning he woke up with light yellow goop escaping from his nostrils, which I don’t [...]
giggles

This was from about a month ago. It’s so hard to film this boy; he can be laughing, chatting, doing all kinds of tricks, but as soon as he sees the camera, he’s FASCINATED. And then gets mad when he can’t eat it.

I study his face all the time. I mostly see F’s features and smile, although sometimes a quirky little grin from J pops up. His default mood seems to be the same as what we saw in F: warm, open, interested, amused. He watches with raised eyebrows and a grin, tries out [...]
