four and a half months

At first this post was going to be about how he went from this to this.     About how he is no longer a sleep-all-day-and-night infant, but a smiling, laughing, rolling-over, bubble-blowing baby. Even though he has doubled his birth weight and discovered his toes, in many ways the biggest changes around here these [...]

my squish ball of love

Posted in the ones about jude on March 14, 2010 | 12 Comments »

I started this post five weeks ago. Every day I say to myself this is the day that I’m going to get a chance to blog, and then the day gives way to cuddling, feeding, singing, rocking, staring. Oh the staring. My eyes never seem to get their fill of this baby. Before I know [...]

our wrinkle in time

For the past several weeks, I have been in nesting overdrive. Primal hormones are not a thing to be taken lightly. They have overtaken my body and I can no longer shut a drawer without first reorganizing it. My husband comes home each evening to pile of miscellanea waiting to be shuttled to the basement. [...]

I love that in Minnesota, Christmas truly falls in the dead of winter. All vegetation is either encased in ice or locked under the frozen ground. Snow covers the rooftops, the sidewalks, the railings and the lampposts. And by 4:30 in the evening this world of white is shrouded in darkness. These are the darkest [...]

Before Thanksgiving, Ava’s Kindergarten class was studying the early explorers. They stowed away on the Nina to learn all about Christopher Columbus adventurous voyage and then they packed paper trunks to join the pilgrims on the Mayflower. Yesterday, I was helping out in her classroom and noticed that they still had some pilgrim art on [...]
