One last bit of summer

Summer is rapidly coming to a close. The children have been back to school for a while now, but the weather has been gorgeous, almost allowing me to forget that fall is on the way. This summer has been super busy and quite memorable. So here’s ten things “Summer 2011″ before fall takes hold.

The Post-Partum Plant

I am dedicating this post to my Mom and my sister who, while visiting me one evening, asked the question, “What happened to your plant?” Ahhh, such a simple question.

A few weeks after baby boy was born, and shortly after we had decided to move, I stepped out on my front [...]

Words

I love words. I love to read them, write them and even play games that involve words. But lately, I can’t seem to find many words to write.

Usually I have so many words floating around in my head that I can’t spit them out fast enough. They require my attention and if I [...]

“It’s probably none of my business…”

Saturday was my 6 year old’s last soccer game. I silently sang Hallelujah on my way to her game. I came prepared this time, bringing a shade tent-like thing for me to sit under with the baby. We also had to bring treats, so it looked like I packed the whole house and took [...]

Why am I so tired and other nonsense

I hear baby boy move and start to grunt in his bed nearby. I become conscious quickly, as only a new mother would. He begins to cry and I roll out of bed, glancing at the clock as I go to pick him up. It’s been almost exactly three hours since he last ate. [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Smiling at angels

Wordless Wednesday

I couldn’t help myself. I had to post just a couple more pictures of my beautiful boy! And I wanted to thank everyone for their congrats and well wishes. I feel a little like a sailor still trying to find his sea legs, but we are doing well over all. Happy Wednesday!

Mother’s Day

On May 5th at 3 a.m., the most wonderful early Mother’s Day gift arrived safely into my arms.

My little big boy weighed 9lbs 12oz and was 21 inches long.

We have marveled at our miracle and kissed his head a thousand times.

We have been amazed at our little bundle, [...]
