Caught on Camera

March 9, 2012

Family pictures – with all four of us – seem to be too high an achievement, unless I’m paying a professional.  So for now I’m willing to just try for the random picture of me with both my kids.  When my hair isn’t a mess and the bags around my eyes are sort of hidden. Craig took [...]

Weekends were made for this

November 30, 2011

A Sunday afternoon earlier this month.   Finding joy and happiness in the simplest of things.  Like a game of hopscotch.  And learning to jump.  When the weather was cool but not cold. When the leaves had fallen off the trees and the calendar said we should be pulling out mittens and heating chocolate, but the [...]

May 23, 2011

Now, I start looking forward to the weekend somewhere around 8:37 on [...]

Success is in the definition

December 28, 2010

First off, we only ate Christmas dinner 30 minutes late.  That is exactly one hour less late than we ate last year, so I think I’m getting better at this cooking for a houseful of people thing.  Not that I intend to try it again any time soon.  Next Christmas will be soon enough, thank [...]
