So today in the car Will delivers a deep sigh and asks, “Mom, can we PLEASE have some more babies in our family? We only have one baby in our family!” (Guess that would be Henry.) Me: “How many, Will?” Will: “I think 100.” Me: “But how would we take care of 100 babies?” Will:…
Read MoreThe daffodils have burst into bloom everywhere, the grass is greening up, purple myrtle blooms are popping open, buds are swelling—it’s spring! At least in my little corner of the world (my inlaws, looking at snow today, would probably disagree!). According to one of my favorite local farmers, it is just a couple of weeks…
Read MoreAt least I left you with something delicious in my absence, hmmm? I have something else delicious for you today. I just downloaded photos from a wonderful weekend with my college roommates (as a warmup for our 15th college reunion this year, eek!) and I can’t wait to look through them and see what…

You would think both his parents are brokers (NOT) the way he naturally picks up any phone-shaped object, slaps it to his ear and shouts, like he’s at the bottom of a well, “Hellllllloooooooo!” He walks around talking animatedly, rapid-fire, on his toy phone, pausing only long enough to switch ears,…

Read MoreMy new camera and I, we’re still in the courting stage. I’m learning all about him and I’m so captivated that I don’t even mind when he leaves its socks on the floor makes me play guessing games about sRGB vs. Adobe RGB color spaces in my settings. We haven’t had a SINGLE fight yet,…
