Food Friday: Summer Spaghetti
Well, the calendar may be pointing to fall, but the tomatoes, they keep on coming. Tonight we’re going to have a summer favorite, Summer Spaghetti, also known in our house as Jess’ mom’s summer pasta. Or just tomato-basil pasta. Now, I’m not sure that I make it just like anyone in Jess’s family—in fact I…
Read MoreNot sleeping like a baby
This sweet newborn defied the odds during our photo shoot last week, and stayed awake to be ABSOLUTELY sure he didn’t miss a thing. (A good trait to have, since he is the third child in this family–he needs to keep up!) Have you ever seen such an alert, bright-eyed baby, just ten days old?…
Read MoreNext thing you know he’ll be borrowing the car
Year two of nursery school, day one, and as you can see, he was ready to say goodbye before he even got in the door. How does it all go so fast? It doesn’t help that I held a delicious newborn yesterday, either. Talk about getting slapped around by karma. (Pictures to come. He is…
Read MoreWhat happens when you leave your children with me
It all started so innocently. They wanted to play house with a giant box that we keep in the basement for cabin fevery winter days. We decided painting it with finger paints and handprints would be a great idea. Then we ran out of finger paint, so they continued work on their color palette with…
Read MoreThe foot bone’s connected to the ankle bone
If it’s possible to overdose on chocolate, I think I definitely did. But besides that, we had a great weekend with a house filled to the rafters, and we almost finished the whole swinging quart of fudge sauce. And about 100 other pounds of food. In fact, about the only thing that would feel good…
Read MoreApologies if you came back here looking for pretty pictures
Believe me, Henry, I wanted to cry, too! Yes, that is what you think it is on the crib rail. I would start this by saying there are no words to describe what I just experienced, but then that wouldn’t be much of a post. So I will say that the poo-bacle last winter was…
Read MoreSleeping like a baby
While young Elizabeth, nine days old, purportedly kept her parents up ALL NIGHT (10- 7 a.m.!) the night before these photos were taken, all I know is what I see here: that she was the most well behaved newborn model I’ve ever had, and I’ve had some good ones. Hopefully someone got some sleep there…
Read MoreThrough the viewfinder (a Photoshop tutorial of sorts)
I’m rarely on the bandwagon with photo processing trends, mostly because, well, have you seen the pile of laundry in my living room? And, oh, and these guys keep me a little busy, too. So while the rest of the photo enthusiasts I love to read were playing with things like selective color, way back…
Read MoreThree words you don’t hear together every day: sea creature gummies
I think the only thing better than gummy sea creatures in Will’s opinion is gummy sea creatures on a stick. This spectacular confection came from his Auntie Melissa along with his birthday present, isn’t it something? He was very good about eating just one piece a day and about sharing it with his brother, though…
Read MoreDid someone say blueberries?
I swear I heard someone around here promising a blueberry post. Not what you had in mind, maybe, but here you go. More soon. Hard to pick them, cook them AND post about them, as it turns out. For more Best Shot Monday, you know where to go!
