Last Thursday morning started as if it was being led by a director and his crew of producers. Bright white snowflakes fell from the sky in perfect syncopation leaving a duvet of feathers on our lawn.
Ava clapped her hands with glee over the snow, “Christmas is coming. Christmas is coming,” and then squealed when the [...]

helps the pancake go down
in the most delightful way!
Hurray! Thanks to Trader Joe’s I finally found a the perfect wholegrain pancake. It’s fluffy and light with a sweet nutty flavor.Ava loves her pancakes, and I have been trying to get more whole grains in her diet. So we have been trying [...]

cosmic playdate

Yesterday morning as we were driving to the health club, Ava spotted the moon in the morning sky.
“Mama, look the moon is out. Look there’s the moon. Do you think God said, ‘Moon and Sun, you need to play with each other’? Maybe the Sun wants to play with somebody so God told the Moon [...]

My apologies for not making it quite clear that the desert animals were proudly mounted in the room where Ava and I slept for five nights. They were like 3D headboards. The havalina standing guard over Ava’s face, and the elk affectionately dubbed, Mr. Reindeer, held post over my feet.
While Ava did not require a [...]

Between multiple posts about our New Mexico excursion and a forty degree drop in temperature outside, I am starting to get a bit homesick. The thermometer on my car said 17 today. And I’m not even going to check weather.com, because I’m fairly certain it was the reverse down in Dona Ana.
So while I’m huddled [...]

I was going to stick these two specimens of desert wildlife in the New Mexico post, but I thought Ava and my roommates deserved a post of their own. Don’t you?
When I suggested that we cover them up with sheets before sleeping directly underneath them, Ava rejected the idea.
“Mama likes pink, soft pigs, but I [...]

So in posting the White Sands pictures, it occurred to me that I never posted any pictures from our cross-country caravan.
In June, my cousin Heather and I packed up our four Croc-clad daughters, their four sleeping bags, seven lovies (four belonged to Ava), four backpacks crammed with activity books and crayons,
Uncle Moose (look how helpful [...]

While I would love to say that I’ve been snowed in and been too busy sledding with my daughter to post any updates in a WEEK, it would not be true.
You all are too smart and observant to confuse sledding in the desert with sledding on the snow–I think the bare feet gave it away.
As [...]

What do you do when all the storehouses of snow are dropped onto your neighborhood? You take a day off work and go sledding of course!
The snow literally covered our block. Where’s our house?
More pictures to come, right now it’s back to the slopes!
