Food Friday: May Day Muffins
It’s a damp and cool May Day here, but that didn’t stop a herd of nursery schoolers in our town from delivering blooming baskets to unsuspecting neighbors all over town. But before they delivered their wares, they fueled up with these May Day Muffins (it was our day to bring snack). Apricots and butter, yum.…
Read MoreIntroducing Isabella and Andrew
I was lucky enough to visit with my sister and brother-in-law yesterday, and meet the famous twosome causing such a fuss these last few weeks. These little tykes are adjusting quite well to their strange new world, even though it is a bright blue world for them under the bili lights. Both of them are…

As I’m looking at that last blog post, where I tell you that I hope the next update I give you about the twins in our family will be many weeks from now, I just have to wonder a little about karma. As of yesterday morning at 6:39 a.m., my sister is no longer home…
Read MoreStill here
You all are too much. So many thanks for the phone calls, texts and emails about my sister. I am so sorry to leave you hanging this week, but the good news is I have the following to report: After a harrowing two weeks, my sister is A) still pregnant B) at HOME C) 30…
Read MoreFisheye fun
Our cousin Ben is engaged to a photographer, which makes for great discussions at family gatherings. She just got a fisheye lens, so we had some fun with it this past weekend. I haven’t downloaded my tries with it yet, but I just love these photos, courtesy of Steph Stevens Photo (and the last one…

She’s still pregnant. Thank goodness. And while the hourly ups and downs, including zingers like “we need to deliver you today” (now heard appx. every 18 hours) and “we are concerned about your liver failing” are nearly impossible for even my sister and her husband to keep track of, as of right now, those babies…
Read MoreA new computer and a new baby (but only one is mine)
So my tired but trusty five-year-old iMac, bought just months before the arrival of my now almost five-year-old boy is about to be relegated to general family use, which, if you ask the almost five-year-old would include looking at pictures of toothy sharks and growling panthers online (nationalgeographic.com) or watching race cars, scuba divers, excavators…

Just one question. When, exactly, did they get this big? Will, age 4 3/4 Henry, age 2 3/4
Read MoreNo chicken, just babies
Hope that wasn’t too tasteless for you all, to have the naked babies anchoring a page on how to cook chicken breasts. By way of apology I give you more twin boys and fewer chicken breasts. P.S. Cannot WAIT to see what my Google search terms reveal today! Aren’t these onesies great? My co-photographer-in-crime for…
Read MoreFood Friday: Balsamic Chicken
Twin boys, age 2 1/2 weeks, still one week from their due date. Taken March 16, 2009. Wondering what these gorgeous little loves have to do with Food Friday and chicken? Not much, except I made this when visiting these fellows last weekend, and I am convinced it is so easy even the sleep-deprived, frazzled…
