 It was cute, so sweet.  How could a baby Thanksgiving service ever be anything else?  That’s her in her new fox shirt heading in to church.  She looked very nervous at points, but went with what was going on, did not bolt at all.  Here’s the Boss Baby, aka Mimi, enjoying a few dino nuggets […]

 We had these girls for the afternoon, and the time went fast.  This was a spill of a small amount of water, which I was glad about. I heard the crash and saw a glittery arc, thought it was the box of beads flying. Nah.  Just some water.  This girl started out with a very

 We drove up on this beautiful, bright morning to eat an early Thanksgiving dinner with them.  It was quiet and relaxing.  Jay’s brother was there too, and they played cards, but no fights ensued.  Julia and Kari ventured out before dark.  And then we headed home again. Here they are from a couple weeks ago:

 It was a gloomy morning, quiet, just me at home. In the thirty minutes before I had to start work, I cleaned this cabinet out.  It was mostly just tousled, all the art supplies and craft kits.  Voila.  It’s neat in the cabinet now, but it’s also easy to forget because I just shut the

 Today’s mail brought a bill I had already paid, and this report card. You go, Julia! I’m so glad you’re having success at school–and in grades seven and eight, about the most bizarre two years of school that exist, so glad. Jay called while I was working this morning and asked if I wanted to

 It was the first weekend at home–no more trips to the lake until next year.   This girl slept over, hasn’t had her usual number of sleepovers this fall–she’s bigger now and has activities and a social life of her own. But it was fun. Dan called and these guys came for supper.   When she heard

 It’s been a long, quiet week, lots of work, nothing very exciting. Except this!  Our little peanut has passed the eight pound mark!  She’s six weeks old and growing.  Yesterday she smiled when I was talking to her.  I’m not sure if it was a real smile or just a coincidence, but I’ll take it.

 She’s a pro.  That baby is tiny and slippery, but it went well.  She’s washing a little stuffed bunny rabbit.  And then all at once, this went into the bath.  It’s a toy that makes insanely loud noises that she lifted from my parents house when we were there.  My dad had even put in

 It was rainy and warm, and this tree!  The picture can’t even capture the way it seemed to glow. We’ve got babies:  So much baby hugging, and she’s doing well! She’s gaining weight and all Heidi’s hard work has paid off, every three hours coaxing the food into her.  Hey Boss!  This girl woke up
