Bits and Pieces of Midwinter Action

Posted in Casey, Kieran, Liam, Seasons, birthdays, brothers, cute conversations, ferrets, holidays, knitting, parenting, pets, pictures, school, sibling stuff on February 14, 2009 | 4 Comments »

That headline is a bit misleading, but I had to write something to lure you guys in, no? We haven’t had any action of  the big exciting event variety (except for Kiri, who just learned to jump and is over-the-moon excited about that!) but we’ve had lots of little things going on, so it’s time [...]

Down to The Last Few Ribbons and Bows

Posted in Kieran, Liam, holidays, pictures on December 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Whew! It’s amazing I managed to post at all this month. It’s been crazy. But with the exception of a couple of packages that still need to be wrapped, we are ready for Christmas. We arranged and purchased the class gift for Liam’s teacher and her assistant. Tips and seasonal gifts for various people have [...]

For the last couple of weeks, the children in Liam’s Kindergarten class have been sewing felt slippers for themselves. As far as I know, this is the first time Liam has done sewing for more than a few stitches, and he and I both are quite proud of how well his slipper turned out. At [...]

I’m hoping to chronicle some of the cute and sweet things the kids do as we prepare for Christmas. I’m sure I won’t get them all written down, but hopefully by the New Year I’ll have a good-sized collection of anecdotes. So here we go with story (more of a quote, really) #1…… This is [...]

My Dear Liam, Five years ago tonight, on a Thanksgiving evening, you came to us and changed a husband-and-wife duo into a family. At first, and for a long time after, you were a Mommy-only baby, but eventually you reached out and allowed others into your life – Daddy, Gran-Gran, Pop-Pop. You were ever so [...]

It’s That Time Again!

Posted in Liam, holidays on November 20, 2008 | 3 Comments »

You know, the one where every year I promise to keep the holidays simple, slow down and enjoy them, and employ Kiri’s favorite word “NO!” when asked to join one more committee or take on one more task. This year I have some good news to report in that I actually used the NO! word [...]

Three Down For The Count

Posted in Kieran, Liam, holidays, milestones, pictures on October 31, 2008 | 4 Comments »

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 the wall. He’s [...]

Recovered! In Time for Mother’s Day!

  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 [...]

Bits And Pieces Of Pre-Christmas Minutia

Posted in everyday stuff, holidays on December 24, 2007 | 7 Comments »

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 [...]
