Yep, but it’s the spare tire, not the real tire. David took the wheel off the car this morning and unloaded the spare only to find out that the spare is crispy and missing tread. Sooo… he threw both wheels in the trunk of the little coupe and headed to NTB while the blue car [...]
David asked to get the boys up this morning (they will be SO EXCITED to see Daddy first thing in the morning after his being away for three mornings in a row all of a sudden) so I decided to type up an entry to keep me from opening their door and inhaling all the [...]
This is why we’re staying inside. Totally. We once saw a report about the extremely high surface temperatures of slides and playground equipment (in Maryland) and … yeah, they should have come down here to do their report. There’s no way we’re getting anywhere near a playground today or any day this week [...]
I keep forgetting what day of the week it is, and with David leaving today, it’s even worse. Like, he should be gone on a Monday is what my brain is telling me, but, no, he left and we went to church and there were thousands of other people there, so it has to be [...]
In unpacking a little the other day (yes, we are still unpacking) I found my Seraphina Shawl – unfinished, of course, and missing the hook. I need to go back and experiment with hooks again to figure out what size I was using. I think it was a K but, man, I just can’t [...]
No, I’m not coming back. Ever. Please don’t bug me about it anymore.
Because, really, I’m tired of the constant emails asking me about coming back. And I’m posting it here so I won’t have to email 25 individuals that I’m not returning.
I am an INFJ, afterall and, therefore:
INFJs, when scorned, take it [...]
We’re officially half way through. It’s so good to have a “certain” due date, as confirmed by the ultrasound last week — instead of a “guesstimate” due date, and it makes the prenatal visits much smoother, too. So here’s the scoop, not that any of you care but that I recorded this stuff for James [...]

CHEESE!
I assure you he had a BLAST. He keeps talking about it this morning, especially the “party” part and the “cake” part. I know he didn’t look very excited in the pictures, but my James, he is one happy-oblivious, take-everything-with-a-grain-of-salt kind of guy. He looks dumbfounded in all [...]
Has it really been that long ago? Shouldn’t he be turning 9 or 10 by now? I can’t believe he’s only 3! It feels like yesterday that he was a baby. I don’t know how all these conflicting feelings can exist at the same time, but, yeah, he’s three and sometimes it feels like he [...]
I’ve really been in disbelief that we are going to have another baby in December. I mean, honest to goodness disbelief that our third child is already formed and growing in my belly. It all happened so quickly. Weren’t we just newlyweds the other day and now we have two boys and a baby on [...]
BABY! A very shy baby, actually.
All parts (even some we didn’t see!) accounted for. His or her heartbeat was 148, slower than both James and Lowell’s which was in the upper 150s. This baby was wiggly as could be and facing my spine with his or her head down [...]
