Tea and Toddler-Chasing

October 28, 2007 – 1:55 pm

We’re sick. Again. This time it started with Austin, then Sam started snuffling, and not a few hours after seeing the doctor about an insanely itchy case of what she diagnosed as pityriasis rosea (grrr) I came down with the cold too. I’m drinking cup after cup of soothing peppermint or raspberry tea and staying [...]

Ahhh Vermont

October 21, 2007 – 8:41 pm

We finally took the long awaited for (and thoroughly planned out - check out the photo of the agenda!) trip to Allie’s family home in Vermont for some leaf-throwing, fire-building, mountain-hiking, food-roasting all-around-good times. We drove up Friday night and returned Saturday night, exhausted but delighted.
Photos from Day 1:

How Cute is That?

October 20, 2007 – 9:00 am

We don’t keep a lot of candy around (except when we’re on a candy corn binge) :), but sometimes a prego just needs her chocolate. So on our last grocery store trip I picked up a bag of Hershey Kisses. Maybe I’m out of the loop, but I had no idea they had started printing [...]

While You Were Sleeping…

October 19, 2007 – 10:00 am

Honey,
You are always working so hard, going without sleep… you needed to take a break… to catch a little nap on the couch. But while you were sleeping, a silly, golden-haired gnome decided you would make a good foundation for a building. He tromped back and forth, clunking block after block onto your lap. Like [...]

Fall At Long and Glorious Golden Last

October 18, 2007 – 8:48 am

Sweaters, chilly air that refreshes the lungs, color seeping into the leaves then fluttering to carpet the ground… It’s finally fall!
We live just a block from the Charles River, along which is something called the “East Coast Greenway.” Right now it just means that there is parkland all the way up and down the river, [...]

Sugar and Spice and Marie Antoinette

October 15, 2007 – 9:50 am

We had a full but fun weekend. On Saturday morning the ladies at the church held a brunch baby shower for me and Laurie (her little girl, Sarah, was born in August). Our friend Lana planned and decorated everything with sweet little pink ribbons, butterflies, and binkies. As a gift for “the Bean”, they had [...]

Brown Bag Notepad

October 11, 2007 – 10:36 am

So, I’m sick with a nasty cold (which always seems nastier when you’re pregnant and can’t take Nyquil). The weekend conference at our church went well, and I have tons of cute photos from the fall festival Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, I took a lot of them with a friend’s camera (by mistake - it’s identical [...]
