And for my next trick….
Christina’s funny. I know all babies have their quirky behaviors, so it’s not as if she’s unique just in simply having them, but they’re still awfully funny.
First there’s the drinking from the glass, but not from the inside of the glass. She really likes the condensation on the outside of Carole’s glasses of […]

Memories are made of this
The kids have been waxing nostalgic lately, for the apartment that we lived in before we moved into our house. They’ve been reminiscing over the monthly breakfasts at the office, eating popsicles on the curb, and playing hide-and-seek outside. They’ve also been asking, for weeks, if we could go play on that playground […]

Eight Random Things About Me
I’ve been tagged!
Aruni, over at entrepreMusings, got tagged for this meme and asked if she could tag me — since I love these things, I said “yes, please!” Of course, then life got turned all topsy-turvy and I didn’t have time to do it. I told Aruni that I hadn’t forgotten it, and […]

Eight Random Things about Clint
1) I’m faster at these things — always — than Carole. (Okay, not so random, but it had to be pointed out.)

Sometimes, the days blur together
I know I planned to post last night — I didn’t want to go to bed before posting, but figured I could do it in the morning — and now I have no idea what I was planning to write about. sigh. . . .
I remember the kids played outside before they went to school. […]

It works! It works!
My oxytocin nasal spray, that is.
Clint picked it up for me while he was working this afternoon.
I’ve used it two or three times this evening, and each time it’s caused a letdown within two minutes!
I still need to let my midwife and my lactation consultant know, but between the Domperidone and the nasal spray, I […]

Tuesday, October 9
Library videos were due today and the kids had said they were done with their books, so I popped Christina into the stroller and we took a walk to the library. A book I wanted to read (Time Traveler’s wife) was in, though only in large print, so I found it and checked it […]

Something funny that my Grandma made
I’ll probably post many more things like this, but this is the only one I have a picture of right now:
It’s called a DAMN-IT DOLL.
The verse on the piece of paper says:
When you think you want to climb the walls or stand up and shout, here’s a little DAMN-IT DOLLyou just cannot do without! […]

I don’t like it when my babies don’t feel well. . . .
Angelina was sick all last week: the strep test that they did in the doctor’s office came back negative, but the backup culture that they sent to the lab came back positive; of course, they didn’t tell us that until we were at the school this morning, and just about to leave — Angelina was […]

Sunday, October 7
After a rather restless night thanks to Christina’s restlessness, the kids were up around 7:00. I got their breakfasts and was awake enough by then that I just stayed up. Carole came out sooner than I expected, so we polished off the oatmeal and we actually had some quality time with the kids […]
