Halloween ‘08

I hope all of you (and your children) had a fun day trick-or-treating, partying, parading, or participating in whatever Halloween festivity caught your eye today. Here at the Menagerie House we went to a lovely party this morning, and then carved a jack-o-lantern and painted a pumpkin this afternoon. Tonight was [...]

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 [...]

Kieran has most of the tricks you’d expect of a baby his age - he totters along, stumbling occasionally, uses 9-10 words with regularity, eats with utensils (except when it’s more fun to finger paint with spaghetti sauce), draws a straight line, and when pressed, throws a pretty decent temper tantrum.

But now, as promised, the story [...]

Well, let’s see. Kieran has decided to nurse all the time, day and night. I guess he’s hitting the three month growth spurt a tad early. He’s big kid already - 12 pounds, nine ounces and 24 inches at his two month check-up last week, and clearly he’s intent on busting that growth chart curve. [...]

I was at our vet’s office yesterday with (three!!) ferrets. I saw that one our vet’s clients had posted a link to this video he made about his pet rat, Spooky. If this is not the sweetest rat ever, I’ll eat my hat. You must see Spooky! She is guaranteed to make you smile.

It’s like this…Liam and I were a bit bored, and Kieran was napping, so I suggested we mop the floor.

Liam put on his “special unslippy clogs” and helped me mop the downstairs. Then we went outside to enjoy a Spring morning. We clipped some azalea and lilac branches, brought them in, and made bouquets.

Then Liam [...]

I just had this amazing thing happen, and I had to post it especially for Steph’s amusement…
I was lying on the bed nursing Kieran when I saw something fly overhead out of the corner of my eye. It really didn’t register until the second time this happened that things should not be flying through the [...]
