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
Posted in Liam, cute conversations on August 8, 2008 | 7 Comments »
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 [...]
It’s A Good Thing He’s Cute!
Posted in Kieran, cute conversations, pictures on July 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »
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. However, the child has [...]

I was tagged for this meme several weeks ago by Lindyloo over at Chronicles of Squidgyboo (click on over there and wish Squidge a Happy First Birthday, will ya?). Finally I am getting around to it. In no particular order, here are 8 Random Things About Me…
1. I’m a flutist. I earned a respectable amount [...]
Let Off With A Warning
Posted in Uncategorized on June 10, 2007 | 9 Comments »
It’s been a crazy week around here. Many things conspired to keep me from blogging - Kieran has decided sleep is overrated, Liam found a hornets’ nest (don’t worry - he’s fine now, if a little wary of “naughty bugs”), and well, a bunch of minutia not worth detailing. But now, as promised, the story [...]
10 Weeks Of Brotherhood - or - Why I Haven’t Been Posting Much Lately
Posted in Uncategorized on June 3, 2007 | 11 Comments »
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. [...]
Rat Video - My Best Friend - Starring Spooky
Posted in Uncategorized on May 27, 2007 | 3 Comments »
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.
Make Christmas Come Back, Mommy!

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 [...]
Just Call Me The Bird Shepherd

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 [...]
