Valentines? Or stealth bombers? You decide.
You know what these are? These were the beginning of sweet little valentines for Will and Henry’s nearest and dearest. We cut the paper, and got out the stamps. We found the pink and red ink pads. We colored, and we stamped. Henry gnawed a little bit on his beeswax crayons and painted a little…

It’s a big day in triplet town—after a healthy 35-week pregnancy, Amily and Tyler’s triplets are being delivered this morning! While we wait for the news, and send them our best baby vibes for three healthy newborns (apologies if you don’t know them and you’re just here looking for a brownie recipe), here are…
Read MoreA sign of spring
Spring, I know you’re out there. The calendar may say February 11 (happy 20 months to Henry today!), and the thermometer may read a bone-chilling 14 degrees(!) this morning, a temperature we don’t often see in my balmy coastal locale. But spring, you can’t hide forever. I caught a glimpse of you this morning, and…
Read MoreClick it, sister
A few of my more faithful readers, especially those related to my children, have pointed out it has actually been a while since I posted photos of said children. To them I say thank you for reading, and then I say YOU TRY and capture them with a camera. I’m a little tired of chasing…

I had a great weekend visit with college friends for our annual Christmas (or thereabouts) gift swap and a surprise baby shower at the same time. Friends came from all over to gather together just a few months before our fifteenth college reunion, and we had great fun—and great food, too, of course. The pregnant…

Because some days I need a good reminder as to why we keep them. And yes, those are corn kernels sticking to their bodies. And yes, they ran around around the house after this picture was taken, scattering corn kernels everywhere. And yes, they were EATING them off the floor. Which wouldn’t be so bad…

Well, thank you all. You sure know how to make a girl feel good with your enthusiastic comments. I got a few really nice surprises in the mix, and was SO GLAD to hear from each and every one of you commenters. I am still wondering who the OTHER 850 or so people are, especially…
Read MoreA study in contrast
This gorgeous girl is Lydia, one of Will’s FAVORITE people in the whole world (me too.) She nicknamed him “Froggy” when he was in utero, and it stuck for a very long time—he has an impressive collection of froggy gear to show for it. Lydia turned nine this week, so I thought I would use…
Read MoreClosing out 2007
So this is the real start of the new year. A full week without holiday breaks and Christmas cookies and presents and parties. And frankly, I’m ready. I’m not one of those people that holds onto Christmas long past Dec. 25, and all the lush decorations and special holiday treats start to feel like too…
