I was at our vet’s office yesterday with (three!!) ferrets. I saw that one our vet’s clients had posted a link to this video he made about his pet rat, Spooky. If this is not the sweetest rat ever, I’ll eat my hat. You must see Spooky! She is guaranteed to make you smile.

Two Months Of Brotherhood
Posted in Kieran, Liam, cute conversations, milestones, pictures on May 24, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Kieran is two months old today, and now I’m remembering how much I enjoyed the 2 to 3 month old period when Liam was a baby. We’ve got lots and lots of smiles from Keiran, simple games he likes to play, and he’s starting to reach out and try to touch things. Here are [...]
More Evidence Of Overthinking

So I saw an ad from a natural gas consortium showing scenes of wholesome daily American life (powered by natural gas, natch). The take-home lesson from the ad was that we need to conserve natural gas. Amongst the scenes in this ad was one of a mom heating up a bottle for her baby. So [...]
The Poor Sick Baby! Now With Update!

Little babies just look so sad when they are sick…
Yup, Kieran has his first cold. Liam came down with one earlier this week and both Kieran and I woke up with it yesterday. He’s not all that sick in clinical terms - he’s not running a fever, but does have some off-and-on sneezing and coughing, [...]

More of the look-alike brothers…
This is Liam at 10 weeks…
Was he ever really this tiny? I guess he was!
And down here we have Kieran at eight weeks.
Now can someone explain how he got to be eight weeks old already???
My Brain Is Oozing Out Of My Ears. Truly.

4:00 this afternoon. Liam and I are both tired and cross, and it’s pouring outside…
Liam: “Why is the rain falling down off the gutters?”
Me: “Because gravity pulls it towards the ground.”
Liam: “Why does it not go down the waterspout instead?”
Me: “Well, some of it does. But some of it runs over the top of the [...]
Make Christmas Come Back, Mommy!

It’s like this…Liam and I were a bit bored, and Kieran was napping, so I suggested we mop the floor.
Liam put on his “special unslippy clogs” and helped me mop the downstairs. Then we went outside to enjoy a Spring morning. We clipped some azalea and lilac branches, brought them in, and made bouquets.
Then Liam [...]
6 Weeks Of Brotherhood

Liam and Kieran have been brothers for six weeks now, and things are going well. Some photos from Week 6:
I found some of my funky lab safety glasses in the basement. It seems Liam is considering a career as a chemist!
Can you tell some of us are all about the trains and the fire [...]
Just Call Me The Bird Shepherd

I just had this amazing thing happen, and I had to post it especially for Steph’s amusement…
I was lying on the bed nursing Kieran when I saw something fly overhead out of the corner of my eye. It really didn’t register until the second time this happened that things should not be flying through the [...]
Now I Remember Why I’m Not A Shop-A-Holic
Posted in I don't believe it on May 3, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Lots of women regard shopping as an exercise in stress relief, or as a favorite pastime. I’m not one of them. I tend more towards the surgical strike method of shopping: make a list, go in the store, get exactly what I need, pay, and leave. I’m not a big fan of trying on lots [...]
