Not the Real Cake
Felicity informed me that yesterday’s photo was kind of weird. Those were not her words, exactly. What she did say was, “Um...why did you choose that picture for a birthday post?” Ah, sweet insecurity. Here, then, is another shot of the birthday boy. This is not his “official” cake so you can stop laughing now. His godmother, who does amazing … [Read more...]
He be 3!
That’s right. The terrible two’s were so yesterday. They’ve been replaced with “Big Boy Three.” 3-year-olds got lots of game. They got impishness, playfulness, and Me-Do-It-Myself-ness.

A Little Light Writing for Monday
Okay, so, if you’re anything like me… ~ In the Press Booth at Target Field ~ (You can see that I’ve traded my pen & pad for something much, much better.)

I didn’t take a ton of photos because most of the time, my arms were full of two-year-old. Don’t let the above photo fool you—that is like one of the only times he let his brother hold him. And … [Read more...]

The above picture was taken before the American Heritage Girls Spring Court of Awards ceremony, which was held last Monday evening. It is not to be confused with this photo, which was taken after the … [Read more...]
The Greatest of These…
A Mother’s Day Re-Cap in Three Parts Part I My Mother’s Day began most cheerfully, with lots of hand-lettered cards and some inimitable drawings. (rendered by my 7-year-old Angela) (of course) The front of her Mother’s Day card looked like this: (The “lift” on the corner revealed an arrow pointing to the back of the card.) The back of … [Read more...]

Our 5th First Communicant!
Prologue: These days—and my life—are flying past. Why, I can still remember, clearly, being in labor with this little girl. It was around 7 o’clock in the morning and I was waiting for our neighbors (Gloria & Emily, shown in a photograph below) to arrive; they were coming to watch our other children while John went with me to the … [Read more...]
