On Tuesday I met up with a new milestone in my parenting career. Right around noon I got a call from the Waldorf School. On the other end of the phone was Liam’s sweet teacher, who was concerned because he was “warm, his cheeks flushed, and all he’s interested in is staring at [...]

Time is a bit tight around here right now, but I wanted to post some pictures of the now healthy boys on Mother’s Day. Liam’s poor scraped knees have completely healed. Both boys and Kevin have recovered from the tummy bug that we had visiting last week. (And our house has returned to Full [...]

Hey, guys, it’s that time again - Delurking Day. And from my logs it seems I have anonymous friends in many locations including central Florida, central Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Nepal, and Harvard Yard. I would love to know who you are, so please come out and introduce yourself. This is a friendly place here, and I’m [...]

Yup, it’s less than 48 hours until Christmas. The last week has been crazy because…

I found out Wednesday morning that I was the designated person responsible for acquiring bouquests for the teacher’s assistant and for the aftercare teacher at Liam’s school. This was not a problem as I was sure I could get FTD or [...]
Christmas Surprise
Posted in holidays on December 18, 2007 | 8 Comments »
We were sitting on the couch by the front window Saturday afternoon. The Lemur, who is currently obsessed with fire engines and Christmas, heard a siren. It became apparent that the siren not only belonged to a fire truck, but that said firetruck was coming down our street. Then, wonder of wonders, we realized that [...]
This Train Is Bound For… Snacking

With apologies to the lovely person who first wrote the American spiritual “This Train is Bound for Glory,” we present our afternoon project today…
…the beginnings of the coal tender…
…filling the coal tender…
…the finished train with its chocolate chip “coal” and stockpile of extra “coal”…

Liam: “Mommy, why do we not have school tomorrow?”
Me: “Tomorrow is a big holiday. It’s called Thanksgiving.”
Liam: “What is Thanksgiving?”
Me: “Well, it’s a day where we have a big family dinner and think about all the things we’re thankful for.”
Liam: “What is ‘thankful’?”
Me: “‘Thankful’ means being happy about all the people and things in our [...]

Six Months Of Brotherhood
Posted in Kieran, Liam, everyday stuff, holidays, pictures, school on October 7, 2007 | 11 Comments »
In six months we’ve gone from a little boy and his newborn baby brother to a full-fledged pre-schooler who has a little brother almost half his size:
Don’t they just look like they’re up to something?
Liam dyed this silk at his school’s Michaelmas festival. He brought it home and promptly used it to transform himself into [...]
12 Weeks Of Brotherhood

Kieran is now twelve weeks old. He’ll be three months old next Saturday. It always amazes me how pregnancy seems to take forever and a week, but then things speed up to the point where if I blink I’ll miss a bunch of stuff. I did manage to get some pictures in the last couple [...]
