My weekend really wasn’t that great.  It was dark.  It was drizzly. It was foggy.   And the honest truth is that it was full of grief for my lost baby, that kind of debilitating grief that sneaks up on a person when they very least expect it.  I wish…

He’s been having fun working on projects, although admittedly we don’t get up to the kids writing area nearly as often as I’d like.  He loves markers and dot inkers.  His favorite colors are blue, orange and red.  He also likes green.

My husband and I tend to be rather moderate in our political views, and quite private about our opinions, which are probably getting a bit more set as we get older, but are still tempered with quite a bit of perspective and ability to see both sides of most issues.…

For the most part, it doesn’t matter to me whether my son has long hair or short hair.  Really, it’s his head, and he has some pretty strong opinions about how he likes his hair.  Actually, I love that he’s confident enough to just ignore all the times people mistake…

Auntie Dot, Grandma Kathy, Cousin Alex and Baby Katherine visited for the weekend, which meant that they got to participate in the carving chaos!  It was suggested by The Banana’s kindergarten teacher to spend some time counting pumpkin seeds over the weekend, so I decided we’d have a pumpkin seed…

We had so much fun wandering through the grounds of Glensheen Mansion again this year during the Spooktacular.  It’s such a fun place to go:  not too scary, and there is so much thought put into how all 950 pumpkins are displayed on the grounds of the mansion.  Each pumpkin…
