Where were we?
There is a certain confusion each morning as I remember the story of yesterday. This morning M and K were a little on edge, and I was extra tired, like I’d been walking on concrete. I printed out my map Continue reading Where were we?

{p,f,h,r} Pizza Party
If there is one thing that makes my Mother in law happy, it’s teaching children how to cook. Last Saturday she tried out a new dough with B, K, M and the neighbor kids. She also discovered that two pizza Continue reading {p,f,h,r} Pizza Party
{p,f,h,r} Week of Fancy Birthday Food
K turned 4 this Valentine’s Day. She thinks stripes are pretty on her new shirt, but more important, they tickle Daddy’s eyes by making him see optical illusions. And when they don’t, she dances really fast to help them out. Continue reading {p,f,h,r} Week of Fancy Birthday Food
{pfhr} Taking a Walk
I put this post together last week. Just pictures from walks from December and January. No snow yet but still pretty. Especially sideways light on moss. The kids didn’t always really co-operate When my upstairs neighbor kids came down Continue reading {pfhr} Taking a Walk
{pfhr} finding the Christmas Photos
Our Christmas runs happily into F.I.R.S.T. Lego League season really quickly. I think I lost my camera somewhere in the middle, I did lose 16 inches of hair. (That was on purpose though, the cut makes me feel pretty). Our Continue reading {pfhr} finding the Christmas Photos

Ahh, just a regular school week, with a major holiday.
Now that the play came off, I feel such mental space. That, and I got a definite answer on my pattern submission (It didn’t make the cut, but the rejection e-mail was beautifully crafted, and she didn’t say I draw Continue reading Ahh, just a regular school week, with a major holiday.
Theoretically, it was all about the Peppers
B talked his grandfather into 4 pepper plants. So, once we’d dug them up (before the frost, by moonlight and flashlight – B is very persuasive) they arranged to come pick up the peppers. But mostly we hung out. The Continue reading Theoretically, it was all about the Peppers
Sometimes the blank days mean life was too fast to record
This last week was not quite as busy as the blanks in my journal from 3 days before M was born to when he was 9 months old. But…oy. Lots of appointments, the first day of co-op, a one day Continue reading Sometimes the blank days mean life was too fast to record
We got the Power!
My Mom remembered the week of no power back in the early ’80’s when a willow crashed through my bedroom window and damaged our landlord’s roof. She stocked up better than I did, so we ate at her house a Continue reading We got the Power!
