Okay this is going to be a long-ish post about all things baby – year one! That is if I can remember. I keep putting this off, but I fear the longer I do, the less I'll remember. That seems to be a trend because when I was pregnant and asking friends about the first …

Did I ever tell you we bought half a cow?
I'm lucky enough to know lots of cool people and farmers on are that list. My friend Kathy isn't primarily a rancher, but raises a few cattle for herself and a few to sell. I've visited these cute little things many a spring as they are born on her property. Last fall she sent …

Mail in Mail out
After re-connecting right after I started this blog with Kay, a friend I met being a counselor at camp in Maine almost ten (gasp) years ago we became good proper pen pal buddies. As in REAL mail in the REAL post. Of course life happened and we fell off on being good letter writers. She's …

Changing Routines
Tuesday and I have a new routine as of late. She is changing so much I don't know how long it will stay like this, but for now: It's slow in the morning. She wakes up, I can hear her playing (around 7:30 so early for me!!!). I bring her into our bed and cuddle …
Creating and Celebrating
Last night we celebrated my dad’s birthday. Since I have a fabulous new space I decided I should use it to finish a languishing project. I had wanted to do a photo album for my dad’s fiftieth (I won’t tell you how old he is now, but over fifty!), and finally got it together. I …

It’s a girl!
You do not know how many times people have said to me, "How old is he?" or "He's so cute!" Even when I have Tuesday dressed in dresses. To this I say, whatever. It doesn't really bother me at all, and depending on my mood I just go with it. Mainly because I am so …
Play
I wanted to share some things we have really been loving over here in the play department. We spent a night last weekend going through all her play things and editing. We moved where all the toys were (if they were in the basement, they got moved upstairs, etc) and pulled out things she's too …
Carry Me
I just got an email from Baby Hawkthat they are running a special for the next two days (order today or tomorrow, Jan. 22nd) and they will donate 50% to Haiti relief. I still want to do a big bad baby post, but I wanted to mention this because we love our Baby Hawk and …
