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 [...]

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 Next Stage
Posted in Kieran, cute conversations, 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 [...]
Scenes From Summer

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 [...]
Three Big Milestones With One Small Step
Posted in Kieran, birthdays, milestones on June 4, 2008 | 9 Comments »
Liam, Kieran, and I were on the front porch tonight untangling some wind chimes. I was sitting on the porch with Kieran standing next to me holding my shoulder for balance. He’s been doing this stand-’n’-grab, along with the full-scale cruising moves for weeks now, so I wasn’t paying that much attention to him. Then, [...]
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 [...]

10 Months Of Brotherhood
Posted in brothers, ferrets, milestones, pictures on January 23, 2008 | 12 Comments »
I fell off the track with these “Brotherhood” posts - too much confusion over the holidays, I guess. At any rate, here we are at Ten Months of Brotherhood…
(how could it possibly have been ten months already???)
Here is the Big Brother with his favorite ferret friend, Pippi. Who, by the way, gave us a fright [...]
A Huge Milestone
Posted in milestones on January 6, 2008 | 9 Comments »
With a huge sense of pride (and a subconscious feeling of, “At last, thank Heaven!”) I am able to announce:
The Lemur has peed in the toilet!!! Long may it continue!
You may resume your normal blogging activities now…

Happy Birthday, Mr. Lemur!
Liam at four months…
…and now at four years.
Happy Birthday to the boy who introduced us to, and is continuing to teach, the fine art of parenting. In four years you’ve gone from being an adored baby to being an adored older brother. There have been big changes in your life this year. [...]
