Daily Trivia

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on November 19, 2010 | 3 Comments »

I am always startled by the amazing memory powers of young children. Today I was driving home with Kieran when we drove past the movie theatre in Princeton. This place is an old theatre-two screens, no surround-sound or Dolby or Imax or other modern bells and whistles. It was probably built in the ’30′s or [...]

Kieran: “Hi, Mommy! You know what I want to make?” Me: “Tell me!” Kieran: “I love you so much I want to make FIVE of you!” Me: “Well, that is a whole lot of love, isn’t it?” Big hugs all around…..   And also-to Gran-Gran in the hospital in Texas, the boys wish you a [...]

Halloween!

I know, I know, long time no see, and I promise a longer update post soon. But in the meantime… Happy Halloween! (Liam and Kieran went trick-or-treating tonight with two friends.)   At Liam’s school last week, the 5th Graders came over to help the 1st Graders carve their very own jack-o-lanterns. Here is Liam [...]

Long Overdue…

Posted in Uncategorized on October 2, 2010 | 3 Comments »

…but finally posted. I kind of got caught up in the maelstrom of the start of 1st Grade and nursery school and soccer, and then the month got away from me. Anyway. A few posts ago I was complaining that I couldn’t show you pictures of some needle felting and knitting projects I’d done over [...]

A funny thing happened to Liam over the last three weeks. One day he was in summer camp… …petting the lion cub… …playing with Galapagos tortoises… …and then, the next week, he was at Work Day at his school, helping set up the classroom and picking out a desk… …and finally came the first day [...]

A Milestone and A Playdate

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on August 17, 2010 | 4 Comments »

I was outside tonight watering the roses. Through the window I could hear the rumbling of our clothes dryer. There’s nothing unusual about that sound, especially in a household with small children, of course, but it turns out that this load of laundry was indeed just a bit special. We were drying, for the last [...]

Meet Willie

He’s our new pet here at The Menagerie House. Obviously he is a guinea pig, and he’s eighteen months old. Some clients of our vet needed to rehome this gentle little creature, and so our vet gave them our name as being an animal-friendly family. The last of our ferrets, Houdini, passed away in January, [...]

The Swingset

Or as Grandma calls it, “The PROJECT”! It was a lot of hard work, but it was worth it. Even in the heat wave of the last few days the boys have been out swinging every day. Here we have Liam swinging away and pretending to be an Army helicopter pilot while Lieutenant Kieran mans [...]

Well, July is over, and it was a fun month here in the Menagerie House. We went to Texas for a week and then returned, grandparents in tow, to continue our visit with them. They were able to stay almost two weeks, which was a lot of fun, and then the last few days of [...]

Vacation!

Just a quick placeholder here-we are off this morning to spend a week in Texas with Gran-Gran and Pop-Pop. I may blog from the road or I may save it up for one big post when we return-that remains to be seen. Also-I have photos to show of the presents I made for my niece’s [...]
