Today was one of those days where everything seems to work perfectly. Liam’s Gran-Gran is back in town for a couple of days, and we had a playdate with Gran-Gran, Liam’s friend I, and I’s mom. Liam and I made ginger-maple muffins this morning, and shortly after they were finished baking, all of our guests [...]

From Babyhood to Boyhood
Posted in Uncategorized on April 25, 2006 | 4 Comments »
I’ve got an honest-to-peanuts little boy on my hands. Despite the fact that he still refers to himself as Baby, or Baby Duck, Liam is clearly all boy. He’s asleep beside me, and I’m admiring the muddy knees, the dirt under the fingernails, and the…what the heck is that? Oh, it’s his eye. Swollen shut.
Liam [...]
Because They Are Just So Cute!

No, these cuties are not our ferrets, although the cinnamon fuzzy on the left looks just like Jeremy. A kind friend sent the picture to me, and I thought I’d share the cuteness. Thank you, Linnea!
Springtime Blahs…
Posted in Uncategorized on April 20, 2006 | 6 Comments »
Is there such a thing as Spring Blahs? Because if there’s not, then I’m pretty sure I’ve discovered a new pathology characterized by sleepiness and general irritation. I’m tired. I’m cranky. It seems to be spreading too; we’re enduring Day 3 of cranky Baby Duck. By the way, Baby Duck is the toddler formerly known [...]
Beau 6/3/1998 - 4/18/2006

Bobo was our fourth ferret. He was given to Kevin in the winter of 1998 when the little guy was about six months old. An old friend of ours who breeds ferrets in Pennsylvania had a jill who had given birth to an unusually small litter of two wee male kits, Beau and his brother. [...]
A True Mommy Moment
Posted in Uncategorized on April 17, 2006 | 4 Comments »
You’d think after almost two and a half years of mommyhood, I’d feel like a mom. But lots of times I watch Liam play, and it still amazes me that he’s my kid. When I was growing up I always assumed that being a mom meant one felt all grown up and such, and lots [...]
Bits and Pieces

Can anyone tell me why Blogger has been telling me that I’m unauthorized to view my own blog? Because I got that message from Tuesday until tonight. Hhhhmmmm…
At any rate, here are some small snippets of conversation from this week:
1. Liam and I were walking along a sidewalk when a gust of wind blew some [...]
The Sandman Came!

Just as I was sure I was going to lose my mind, the insomnia left as mysteriously as it appeared. At any rate, I slept from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM this morning. That’s ten hours of glorious sleep. YAY for sleep!
Liam and I took a trip to a local farm today. We wandered around, [...]
Sleep Deprivation Stinks
Posted in Uncategorized on April 10, 2006 | 3 Comments »
I’ve been hit by a bought of insomnia. I’ve been getting four-five hours of sleep a night since last week sometime. I’m pretty sure my brain is oozing out of my ears. I’ve got things to post, but I can’t make any of the posts read well. I can’t even type right. Hopefully tonight will [...]
Ducks in the Snow
Posted in Uncategorized on April 5, 2006 | 4 Comments »
These two dapper ducks made their way to our yard two days ago. This happens every April as the ducks from the pond down the street start looking for nesting sites.
And then they were joined by this lady. There is a spot of longish grass amidst some trees in our side yard. The ducks spent [...]
