A friend treated us and the Landrys to lunch the other day at Cabot’s, an adorable little ice cream parlor / diner in Newton. Sam and Tess enjoyed tasting (and wearing) a bit of their parents’ desserts. Maggie slept sweetly through the whole lunch. And here’s some more sweetness.
Earlier this week, we went to Children’s Hospital to consult with a doctor about treating Maggie’s port wine stain. To sum it up, we had mixed news. The discouraging news is that it may take years to correct an area this large. Also, since it is a vascular malformation (consisting of enlarged capillaries) and is [...]
Yeah, I know. Two posts in one day. But you already knew I was a geek, right? Here are a couple of Maggie smiles, finally caught on camera!
My Thursday Thoughts entry this week is a question for you all. I’ll be getting my “About” page ready (just need to get a few more things cleared off the “very important” shelf first). But aside from the usual “I’m a wife and mother of two etc etc” what do you want to know? Ask [...]

Austin and I have had some therapeutic fun with the mallets and moles. Sam gets [...]
Welcome to 2008! I don’t like making New Year’s resolutions (daily effort works better for me than sudden changes). And really, outside of business transactions (new Masspike tolls, fare hikes and such), not much is different about a new year. Those who know my obsession with writing won’t be surprised that my main interest in [...]
We’re taking things slowly today, our first Christmas as a family of four. The sky is clear and blue, but there’s still snow on the ground from the storms we had these last two weeks. Hope you are all well and are able to enjoy this day with those you love. We miss our families, [...]
