TWO!

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

William is two years old today. We have been so busy that I haven’t had time to get nostalgic and weepy. And quite frankly I’m excited about what ‘two’ means. First off he will get to start preschool in the fall. Something he desperately wants to do, at least that’s what […]

Baby = Kryptonite

Monday, July 28th, 2008

My best friend had her baby girl about 3 days ago. Our big plan for the summer was to hang out at my house so the kids had playmates and the moms had someone to help and chat with. Its been a lot of fun. Even more fun now that there is […]

Happy Birthday Boys!

Monday, July 28th, 2008

For the first time we had a birthday party outside our home. Usually we have home parties where I clean like crazy for two weeks, spend the entire morning of the party haranguing my husband to finish up the last few items on the list (paint the house, build a hand-rail, re-landscape […]

I Have a Problem

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

My problem will only be cured by having a baby girl in six short weeks. I have had my share of boys, four in a row to be exact. I have girl’s names bubbling up in my dreams. I can’t wait to buy pink and frilly again. This problem has existed […]
