When a guy turns five, you gotta do it up right. This is the amazing bounce castle that we used to get p.j. to go to bed. “You have to sleep if you’re going to a party with a BOUNCE CASTLE!” It’s true! You have to. He was pretty excited: Happy Birthday again, Buddy. It […]

You used to spend sooo much time here. You did when you were little and t.c. did too back in the day when we babysat you babies. I have millions of pictures of you guys. And you were soooo cute. Here are the little aunties, entertaining. We had lots of naps, many of them on

Here’s an uncle and his nephew. The t.c. person, the nephew was SO excited about this gift he could not wait to give it to Tim. Lots of the pictures are blurry, like this one of Heidi: Here’s my mom. She agreed to cooperate for exactly ONE picture, and even that wasn’t certain. Yes, my

We’re having a sleepover!” That sufficed. They rambled around all day and played their little hearts out. I leave the TV run in

See, I like looking at winter. It’s very pretty, true. But being in it is kind of a pain in the neck. Jay does pretty much all the snow removal.

Friday is my favorite day of the week. It’s all that unspent weekend potential, best day of the week. So when Alicia emailed yesterday asking if I could watch these boys because she had a deadline, I texted back: “Yes.” Thank goodness for deadlines, maybe. See that picture above? They actually offered to pose for
Sam, as usual, inserting herself right in the middle. So helpful. Dan called last night while I was working, left a voice mail, and when I listened to it, I could hear the aggravation in his voice: the aggravation of parents with no daycare on twelve hours notice. “Yes, I can watch them.” I wanted

Okay, this was last night, Lydia working on math surrounded by gingerbread. She has a math tutor this year, well worth the money. This lovely woman, a real estate client, an engineer, agreed to tutor her, two 45 minute sessions a week. It’s helping tremendously. These were taken in church this morning. Lydia was the
