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 [...]

Scenes From Summer
Posted in Kieran, Liam, Seasons, knitting, milestones, pictures 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 [...]
Liam’s School Career Begins…
Posted in Liam, pictures on September 5, 2008 | 8 Comments »
…with the first day of kindergarten. My first baby really is growing up. (Note to self - stock up on tissues for these moments.) Our big boy was all excited to go as lots of his friends from last year are in his class, and he hadn’t seen most of them since last Spring…
“Bye, Daddy! [...]
No Pun Intended

Yesterday the boys and I attended a playdate at local park. I have seen this park many times in passing, but I had never explored it before yesterday. The town next to us built it about ten years ago in celebration of the 300th birthday of the organization of the town’s government. It’s several acres [...]
Listen Closely

I told Liam I was heading upstairs to put Kiri down for a nap. I should have paid more attention when the reply, “No worries, Mommy. I need to do some decorating anyway.” drifted up the stairs.
Next time I will listen a bit more closely.
If Only

I was reading the news this morning while, for once, the boys were playing quietly together. I vaguely overheard Liam, who was playing store, trying to sell Kiri some trinket or another. I smiled, glad that things at home are peaceful, even if bad news is all over elsewhere. I heard Kiri say “yes” to [...]
Distract The Baby!
Posted in Kieran, Liam, cute conversations on July 10, 2008 | 8 Comments »
At Target a while ago were a bunch of board games on clearance. I picked up several to have on hand on rainy days just as something to chase away boredom. Well, one of those boring, rainy days struck last week, so I grabbed one of the games. The game itself is not that hard, [...]
The Wisdom of A Child
Posted in Kieran, Liam, cute conversations on June 2, 2008 | 5 Comments »
When it comes to Liam, he is generally a wonderful big brother. He plays with Kiri, cheers him on when he accomplishes a new skill, and baby talks and hugs him several times a day. But, especially since Kiri became mobile, some waves of angst have appeared on the lake of brotherhood. Kiri is a [...]
Recovered! In Time for Mother’s Day!
Posted in Kieran, Liam, ferrets, holidays, milestones, pictures on May 14, 2008 | 8 Comments »
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 [...]
Which Thing Just Didn’t Happen Here?
Posted in Kieran, Liam, events of the unpleasant variety, ferrets on May 7, 2008 | 11 Comments »
A lot of events have occurred here at the Menagerie House in the last 24 hours. Care to guess which of the following did not happen?
1. Liam tested the fractile strength of sidewalk concrete. That experiment was brought to a premature conclusion by a trip the ER for X-rays on both knees. Yes, both.
2. I [...]
