Yeah, we’re up to here with colds and various and sundry broken appliances, so no, this is not a written post. Anyway, Kevin took the boys to the park last night and got this video on his phone:
He may have a cold, but he still loves to swing. I ask you, [...]

Six months ago today Kieran was born in the very room where I am typing this post. I had all kind of plans to do a big half-birthday post today. Then life, as it has a tendency to do, got in the way of those plans.
I wrote this post last September.
Today was carbon copy of [...]

Liam came running into the kitchen…
“Mommy! Come, Mommy! I have baby cows on the backs of my legs.”
Me: “What???”
Liam: “You know, like baby elephants?”
Me: “What???”
Liam (holding out his leg in exasperation): “See???”
And he pointed to the…
Me: “Oh! I get it! You have calves on your legs!”

Liam (who’s been attending La Leche League meetings since he was eight weeks old) saw a woman bottle-feeding her baby…

Liam (eyes wide open): “Why?”

Liam: “Mommy?”
Me: “Yes?”
Liam: “You need to [...]

The last couple of weeks, Kieran has been begging for food whenever he sees us eating. Although he’s a couple of weeks shy of six months, we decided to go ahead and offer him some simple foods anyway. It was the right decision. He proved he was more than ready for solids the first night [...]

The leaves from our redbud trees have started to turn yellow and fall to the ground. I found this one atop summer’s last crepe myrtle blooms. Soon all the blooms will be gone. The yard will go from summery pinks and purples to the oranges and reds of fall.

He got his first wheels 18 months ago. That trike was fiercely loved, but alas, the lad finally outgrew his first love. This weekend we went bike shopping at a real bike store and brought home this beauty. I would call it a “two-wheeler,” but Liam insists it is a “training wheeler.” He called his [...]

Liam: “Why does Daddy go to work in the mornings?”
Me: “Because he likes his job and because it earns money for us.”
Liam: “Well, see, that’s not what he said.”
Me: “No? What did he say?”
Liam: “He said he goes to work because the people there actually listen to him.”
Me (laughing): “Well, I see…maybe he was talking [...]

Quote 1:
“Mommy, I want you all to myself this day. I think Daddy should take Kieran to work with him.”
Quote 2:
(After Kieran let out a series of happy baby shrieks)
