• Nathan: Three Years

    Dear Nathan, I can’t believe it’s been 3 glorious years since the day that i worked for hours trying to push you out of my body. I thought i’d never recover but look at us now! “I love you so much” seems too simple of a way to put it.…

  • Nathan’s 3rd Birthday

    Nathan had his party at The Little Gym and everyone had such a great time! It was a perfect rainy and gloomy day for the kids to play indoors and have fun with games and gym equipment. And of course Nathan had to have his Wiggles cake. It turned out…

  • It really was Worlds of Fun!

    We took N8 to Worlds of Fun today as sort of a precursor to celebrating his birthday all weekend. Everyone had a ball, including Will. First stop was the 25 cent cotton candy. Where on EARTH can you find anything that costs 25 cents these days? You know we were…

  • The First Day of Preschool.

    Today was the day. You’d think that Nathan would be the nervous wreck who couldn’t sleep all night. He required, however, waking at 8:10 a.m. this morning. We were to report to preschool at 9 a.m. so I finally had to wake him up. Not a good sign. I can…

  • The last day.

    Today was the last day for Nathan to be a full-time at-home kid. Starting tomorrow, he will officially be in school for the next couple of decades of his life. I am a nervous wreck. I’ve been preoccupied with it all day long. Today I hugged him a little tighter,…

  • Will’s Dr. visit

  • “Nathan to planet Earth, please.”

    Nathan’s latest thing is randomly shouting, “Oh! I forgot to go back to Earth!” Like this morning while he was watching me get dressed he just randomly shouted, “Oh, mommy! I forgot to go back to Earth!” So, i replied, “well, you better get back there then!” He then pretends…

  • Grandmas are my saving graces.

    I am sure many of you will concur that Grandmas truly are lifesavers sometimes. As many of you already know, my mother has FINALLY MOVED HERE!!! WOO HOOO!! I am so happy about it! We’ll see how long I can actually keep her here! Today David called from work wondering…

  • Another first.

    Will got to try out his new sippy cup today. ….. “What the heck is this thing?“ “Ahhh…that’s what it’s for …my teeth!” “Not very tasty!” “Let’s use it as a toy now.” “What’s in here? That ain’t mama’s milk!”
