What I’m Loving Right Now

1. My three year old engineer amazes me with how adept he is at putting things together and taking them apart. It’s alot easier to enjoy his brilliance when he’s using his skills in a productive way (as opposed to unscrewing every.goddamn.knob off of our bathroom cabinets…and our nightstands….and our dresser…and his dresser). Baubee and…

Six On Sunday

1. That says SIX.   2. “Mommy, moo cows go pee-pee out their mouth!” “Uhhhh, no honey, moo cows go pee-pee out of their, uh….” “Their BUTTS Mommy!”   3. 4.  Daddy is finishing up a long business trip, so Mommy tried to fill his shoes at a Farmer’s Market Double Header this weekend.  Max…

These Are A Few of My Favorite Things

1. Summer.  BBQ’s with friends.  Long white flowy skirts and tank tops.  Little boys in cargo shorts and T’s.  Little boys who match their Daddies….by accident.   2. Family time.

Bits And Pieces

Max: “I want some noo-noo’s!” Me: (gets up, makes noodles, brings them to Max’s nest of blankets on the couch) Max: (crying hysterically) “NOOOOOO!  I want NEW noo-noos!!!  NEW ones!” Me: (gets…

I Love You Because…

Dear Max, I look at you splashing in the bath tub, with a single bubble dotting your forehead, and it strikes me that you are now balanced between the end of “two”, and the beginning of “three”.  Toddlers are two.  Babies are two.  Tiny, babbling, barely emerging.  Speaking gibberish and being sort-of oblivious, that’s two.  But YOU, my…

Lighten Up!

Hey….are we all still present and accounted for?? The last few weeks have been an amazing journey, and our little corner of Bloggyville has welcomed some new friends (Hi new friends!), but shit…things have been HEAVY over here! So I figured we need a break from being so serious for a bit.  Go on, put your box…
