As promised, a compilation of witty observations and comments from the Menagerie House Boys! ******** My Friend: “My memory has definitely gotten worse since I became a mom.” Me: “Yup, definitely. I’m pretty sure I forgot to make lunch for Liam one day last week, but I’m not positive. Some days I feel like my [...]

Bits and Pieces of Midwinter Action
Posted in birthdays, brothers, Casey, cute conversations, ferrets, holidays, Kieran, knitting, Liam, parenting, pets, pictures, school, Seasons, sibling stuff, Uncategorized 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 [...]
Remember My Last Post?
Posted in events of the unpleasant variety, Kieran, Liam on January 23, 2009 | 6 Comments »
The one where I said Kiri came thisclose to an ER trip on two occasions since Kevin’s departure? And where I mentioned how Gran-Gran would be coming up for a nice, relaxing visit? Well, then. Let me tell you what happened this afternoon. Ahem. Gran-Gran and I had just gotten the boys out of the [...]
Hey Out There!
Posted in blogging, cute conversations, Kieran, Liam, nursing, parenting on January 20, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Hey, what’s this page??? Oh yeah, it’s my blog….huh. I haven’t posted because…well, I was busy catching up on all the things that I put on the back burner last month, and here I am, resurfacing for a break. It’s been everyday life for the most part around the Menagerie House; we had a relaxing [...]

And all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, Not even… …a baby.” Happy Holidays from the Menagerie House, and may your New Year be the most fabulous year ever.
Down to The Last Few Ribbons and Bows
Posted in holidays, Kieran, Liam, 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 [...]
Three Down For The Count
Posted in holidays, Kieran, Liam, 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 [...]
The Next Stage
Posted in cute conversations, Kieran, milestones on October 19, 2008 | 5 Comments »
I’d forgotten how delightful 18-month-olds can be. Kieran at 18 months is a delightful combination of baby and little boy. One moment he’s clinging to Mommy, and the next he’s attempting to cross the street by himself. While we never know from moment to moment whether we’re dealing with a baby or a little boy, things [...]
Scenes From Summer
Posted in Kieran, knitting, Liam, milestones, pictures, Seasons on October 4, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Well, since I did promise a photo run-down of our summer, I guess I’d better get to it. Being as it is October now, and my laptop is finally back in my loving arms, and all that stuff. During this summer I was keeping the blogging and the photography light in order to give myself [...]
The Disadvantages of Co-Sleeping
Posted in everyday stuff, Kieran on September 18, 2008 | 5 Comments »
We are a family of co-sleepers. Both of our kids have been in our bed since they were newborns. Liam moved out when he was two – or three, I can’t remember for sure, but he comes back some nights just to fall asleep, and then we move him into his bed later on. Kieran [...]
