Today the address is 4820 Babyland, it’s true. Here we’ve got this guy spending the day. He watched PBS, loves that super-duper obnoxious Sid the Science Kid, and super-adorable Curious George, and then took a nap on Couch Potato Uncle James. He ate a Moo Jr. pausing at each bite to throw his head back […]
This little girl was born yesterday, late in the afternoon. Here she and Maria are, checking each other out. See how Maria’s holding her face to face, copying the baby’s expression? There’s a name for that, though I can’t remember. It’s wired into how we relate to babies, and I love that. They both know

Finally, yesterday was the long-awaited birthday party for t.c. and l.c. and Julia was thrilled. They host it in a place that’s like a gym on one side and a kitchen and dining area on the other. There were a LOT of sweaty kids, but this is that cooped up time of winter when it
pretty b.g Yesterday was actually a finer than usual Thursday. Heidi called Wednesday and asked if I wanted to help her put away baby stuff. Absolutely! Yes, yes yes! That baby is due any day. Heidi’s hoping for next weekend. We had fun. Tim and Julia helped me carry all the baby stuff from the

The thought occurred though–Wynonna Judd talked about this, how it feels to be responsible for the income and lives of so many people. Concerts
The weekend started with a fine anniversary party–John’s idea, take out chow mein. Well, and lo mein, and sesame chicken, and fried rice, egg rolls, and the eaters ate. A lot. kirsten and her nephews teasing james about his hair This weekend was also the Jack of Hearts Dance at school. Maria went with some
This morning I was backing up files of photos, and business files, and boring, right? Yes, quite. Thankfully it didn’t even take an hour. But I ran into a few random pictures I didn’t expect, ones that made me happy. Here they are, just for fun: about a year and a half ago: and how

see that glimmer of light? She was mad. Angrrrry. Lydia and m.c. wanted time alone, Friday. They wanted time to themselves, without her, little outrageous, scrappy, squirrely her. She was pretty insulted. In her huff she stormed and stomped, received some sympathy and also some suggestions that she forget about it and find something else

But that was quite a long time ago. I gave him a pair of luxurious down-filled mittens. They’re still in the mitten box now. We had a party tonight, of course. He loves ribs and potato salad, so he made both last night while I was working–between driving kids to basketball, he cooked. Excellent results.
aww, he’s 51. i remember when he turned 18 Read More »
