Yesterday was Sophie’s day for show-and-tell. I expected her to run down the stairs clutching a favorite bear. Or a new toy. But she wasn’t. Instead she came down asking if she could bring something from her “China box”. Her box of extra special things from her time in China. She loves to go through her box and ask questions…. Read More
the spot
I’ve been looking. And I think I might have found it. I’ve been on the hunt for a new *spot* in our yard. You know, for pictures. To take the place of the very overused ‘red bench’. I still love me some red bench. Especially in a pinch. But after a while, even I get tired of seeing it in… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Love}
I found and fell in love with these dolls months ago. And it didn’t take me long to find a holiday to justify buying one for each of my girls. I just didn’t know which holiday that would be. Turns out they arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day. Which is actually perfect, for several reasons. First of all, these… Read More
I got nothin’
Yesterday was a Monday. And it definitely felt like a Monday. Doctor appointment. Dentist appointment. Sick kids. Yuk. Somehow, Monday spilled into today. So now my Tuesday feels like a Monday. Veterinary appointments. Lyme disease. Times two. Yuk. So, really, I’ve got nothin’. At least, nothin’ I want to talk about. So when Isabelle dug up her bubba teeth from… Read More
Happy Sophie Day
We celebrated the night before I left for China, since Tori was still home. And because I figured I wouldn’t be in the best shape to put together a birthday party, barely home from China. Sophie didn’t seem to mind celebrating a few days early. We went out to eat at a local lobster house. Sophie preferred to eat a… Read More
Sunday snapshot: Sophie
Miss Sophie Lu. She is 5 going on 25. Sophie came home at 27 months old. Even then, she seemed ‘grown up’. Wise beyond her years. She still is. She loves to ask questions. And one question just leads to another. Her curiosity is insatiable. As you might imagine, she absolutely adores school. Hanging out at the house is just… Read More
mooncake fun
I had really hoped that this recipe would turn out well. It did not. And yet, our time spent this afternoon was not for naught, as the girls had a great time making a huge mess of my kitchen mooncakes in honor of the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival yesterday. Assemble your ingredients. It doesn’t really matter if you follow the recipe,… Read More
me and my girls: a moment
The girls and I were on our way home from Target last night when one of those conversations erupted. You know, one that makes you almost laugh and sort of cry at the same time? One that you don’t want to soon forget? So I’m writing it down, so we can all laugh about it someday. Someday twenty years from… Read More
picture day
Today is picture day at school. Typically, I face this day with the tiniest hint of dread… who is going to fall and have a busted lip? who is going to insist on wearing an, ahem, unflattering top? who is going to… to… forget it’s picture day? Thankfully, after a few mishaps in previous years, today I can stand up… Read More
a kindergartener, at last
Sophie has been talking about starting kindergarten for awhile. Actually, she’s been talking about starting kindergarten for a long while. Come to think of it, she’s been talking about starting kindergarten for as long as I can remember. Hence the outrageously adorable smile on this, her very first, day of kindergarten. Kindergarten? Bring. It. On.
