Patrick is Four
May 24, 2015
Today Patrick turned four. Mommy and Daddy gifted him some new construction pajamas (3 pairs, short length), that he promptly put on. Patrick is quite excited about the new pajamas and is wearing them this evening. Here is a picture of Patrick a few hours after birth. He’s grown quite a bit in the last … More Patrick is Four

Mommy is not the Duchess
March 4, 2014
The other day as I was reading the Daily Mail, P crawled into my lap. He sat for a few moments, looking at my laptop, and then pointed to a photo of the Duchess of Cambridge and declared it to be “Mommy!” To be fair to P, Mommy and the Duchess both have long dark … More Mommy is not the Duchess
P’s New Baby
July 13, 2013
For Christmas 2011 Oliver was gifted Howie Baby, a Waldorf-inspired heavy baby doll that I handmade over many many months. Today, Patrick was gifted a similar doll (also handmade, but I used a kit instead of going to weeks of mommy-and-me classes). P’s new baby was carefully swaddled in one of his old baby blankets, … More P’s New Baby
Return of the Rocket Man
March 28, 2013
Recently it has become a challenge to wrestle Patrick into his Hannah Anderson zip-up-the-front pajamas. I love them because they’re zipped in for the night and done (and there is only one part to keep track of/fold at laundry time), P on the other hand was having other ideas. After dealing with the indignity of … More Return of the Rocket Man

September 7, 2012
Wednesday was O’s first day back to school. Wednesday is also Gavin’s 8 am teleconference call for the W3C. O slept until 8 and we had to leave at 8:40 so there was a bit of a rush getting everyone (the boys and myself) out the door on time so I did not get a … More 2nd Day Back to School Photo
timeout for Mommy
July 14, 2012
Every now and then Mommy needs a time out. I’m the first to admit things happen, the other day P grabbed O’s dinner (rice and peas with butter) off the table and vigorously dumped it all over the kitchen floor. O cheered him on and demanded I get the “keener!” These things happen, and I … More timeout for Mommy
My Fantasy Playroom
June 27, 2012
Today one of my not-so-secret fantasies came true: I got a play room!! No, not a “fifty shades red room of pain” room. Instead, I got something more practical: a room where I can stash most of the boys toys so I can have my living room back. The boys can play and at the … More My Fantasy Playroom
P is Walking
June 12, 2012
After 1 year, 2 weeks & 5 days of waiting Patrick walked across the living room*, turned around, fell over, got up and walked back the other way. He’s been practicing more and is getting steadier by the second. Eventually I’ll upload some video of this momentous occasion. Update: Video now uploaded**! http://youtu.be/m_CRZfHrIAY *P has … More P is Walking
