Up at 5:30. Breakfast done by 5:50. Lunches packed by 6:05. Kids on the porch by 6:10. Camera ready, with 15 minutes before the bus was supposed to arrive. Just one problem. The bus arrived 10 minutes early. I was still fiddling with my settings – in the stinkin’ pitch black – and the bus pulled up. So this is… Read More
if I can, you can.
I blog. I don’t speak. Speaking is just not my gift. Blogging isn’t really either, but at least I can do that in the privacy of my own home, propped up on my comfy couch, wearing paint-stained sweats and socks with a hole in the toe. I can write, delete, and backspace all day. And the end result is, generally,… Read More
the band-aid
We go through a lot of band-aids around here. Usually they end up on a knee. Or maybe an elbow. But occasionally – to make the boo-boo feel better – we have to put a band-aid in an unusual spot. And then we laugh. And take pictures. And pray that it comes off… sooner rather than later. Ahhh. Much better.
progress. beautiful progress.
Bringing Tallula home has, in a lot of ways, been difficult for Poppy. Although it didn’t show up all the time, every day, she just hasn’t been her usual smiley, happy-go-lucky self. She’s been occasionally broody. And serious. And kinda-sorta ticked off. And she let me know, sister or not, that she wasn’t very happy with me for bringing this… Read More
a confession
I’m a happily married woman. But I have to fess up. I have a hardcore crush. It seats twelve. It starts around $30,000. And it ain’t ugly. In fact, I think it looks good. Really good. And did I mention, it seats twelve? Twelve passenger seating looks great on a vehicle. P.S. Anyone out there have a contact at Nissan?… Read More
choo. choo.
It’s not too often I find all of my youngest in a candid moment that I actually want to capture on film. But yesterday, I did. They had been given the “wrap it up” nod from in the house and were busily cleaning up. Or so I thought. Turned out they were cleaning up… but with a bit of a… Read More
favorite photo friday
Not what you were expecting, huh? Me neither. But after getting these bad boys in the mail today, I realized just how very, very nearsighted I am. So, for this Friday, my favorite photo is less about the photo. And more about what’s in the photo… my new favorite thing. Thanks so much to everyone who left comments in my… Read More
evidently…
he didn’t get the memo. You know, the doggie memo. That shoes and sticks and balls are for chewing. And that prickly pine cones? Are not. But I guess I shouldn’t have expected anything less from our boy. Seamus has been known to do his own thing. And, in general, prefers to veer from the regular doggie rules of engagement…. Read More
for today
Because it’s cold out today. I’m snuggled up. And lazy. And hungry. So I ate half a tray of sweet potato fries. While I was otherwise occupied, Vivienne and Poppy – who were not interested in sharing my sweet potato fries – got into some things. One of which was the basket of hats and mittens. The basket that I… Read More
hey, four eyes
It’s been coming. For a long time. Today, I finally screwed up my courage and went to the optometrist. I’d been putting it off because, well… I knew it was going to be bad. The last time I’d had an eye exam was around the time Isabelle came home. In 2005. And since then, things have changed. Significantly. My old… Read More
