It’s been a wonderful week, welcoming this child, so happy to have her with us. When they arrived the other day, Dannell told me to pluck her from the carseat. I asked her if she was sure? Yes, she needs to be waked up to eat. So, that’s enough for me. But then p.j. […]
Okay, Julia is fancy. See these fake fingernails she got at Target yesterday? I have never had my nails done. Not one single time. I might file and buff them, or put on nail polish once in a while, but stick on fingernails? Never. Never even thought of it. Jule has always
The hours between the phone call until we were there with her in our arms? It felt like a year. As I was trying to get through the last of it and get on the road, a couple absurd obstacles appeared in my way. I was an inch from just plain primal screaming, right in the elevator.
m.c.’s birthday was earlier in the month, and Jay’s is now. So we had a party Saturday night for fun. We haven’t really all been together since Christmas time, so it was good to be together and eat and goof around for the evening. Here are all the ipad cousins, doing what they love to

That’s what we’re going to remember about this day: cute haircuts. We showed half an hour before they closed, and they still fit us in. Love you guys, MOM

My brain is still half on vacation. We’re back into the swing of reality, sort of, but not too much. These are pictures from the botanical garden. I love this planter, and we could totally do this with old fallen logs at the lake. Okay, one person, no goofing around: The paths up and down
Here’s a picture from the bus stop. I took a few pictures on the bus ride. We have a clothesline at home too, and I like it and use it sometimes–but it’s not on the roof. Though I suppose it could be. We have a flat roof where there’s a good breeze. Finally, after a
He really is. I invited t.c. and his brothers for a sleepover because I miss them. The brothers had strep throat and couldn’t come. But t.c. could. That’s fine. The brothers can come next week, maybe. We’ll figure it out. So the kid arrived and dodged around me like a hockey player and zeroed in

Here’s a funny picture Renee took at the lake last summer. I love it. Desi’s allergies are taking over. The guys are giving their best smiles. Anyway, Little Jay was here tonight and it was great to see him, hang out for the evening. He’s easy company. This was the best part though. He told
