Month: November 2008

  • Taboo?

    So, I was thinking the other day about taboo things amongst mommies–at least in the circles I’ve been in. I’ve been fortunate to make friends and aquaintances in several different venues…church Bible study, family, college friends, friends we’ve at the parks (indoor and outdoor), etc. It’s so easy to strike up a conversation with another […]

  • Ramblings

    First, I needed to post this pic of my C-man. Somehow, I hadn’t seen it until last week. It was taken by Mike at the beach last April. I love it. Sometimes I need to just sit and look at this picture, or go in his room when he is sleeping. It reminds me that […]

  • Rest In Peace

    In Memorandum On Thursday, November 20, Quirky Pink Onesie was laid to rest, tightly wrapped in a plastic bag in the family’s outdoor garbage can. QPO was a faithful member of the 3-6 month clothing family. Although never considered a favorite because of her inexplicable whimsical drawings of baby deer and mushrooms, she was often […]

  • The Perfect Storm?

    We’ve entered into a window of time in the ages of our kiddos that is refreshing. Really, it is Sydney’s age that is the window, as she is changing so quickly. She’s old enough now (almost 5 months) that she’s not SO very fragile. I don’t–and she doesn’t–flinch EVERY time Carson comes bounding over. He’s […]

  • Yum-o

    I can’t even tell you how crazy I am about my baby girl. I just want to eat her up. Her little bald head, gorgeous blue eyes and funky little Carson ears! Love it all. But the last couple of weeks, she went from being a fabulous sleeper–day and night, to waking up several times […]

  • Is this better?

    OK, after subjecting you to that last post, I thought I would post a more pleasing holiday number. I’ve performed a lot of songs over the years, but a few stand out as favorites, and this is one of them. This definitely wasn’t our best performance (or our most formal, as you can see) but […]

  • Proud Mama

    Oh yes. Big day in our household. Carson went to the dentist for the first time! Our friend Beth (Wow, Beth! 2 shout-outs in 2 weeks!) recommended a pediatric dentist in town, and I am so thrilled. I’ve read that little kiddos should go to the dentist even before age 3, but I just couldn’t […]
