We haven’t been getting much sleep lately, and it has nothing to do with our six month old. No, we’ve been quite lucky that she has been sleeping, for the most part, through the night. Sometimes a need to nurse arises in the wee hours, but on the whole – she’s been great. One ofContinue reading “I slept in the hallway”

Sleeping kitties and spinning plates
Of all our three cats, nobody is the bundle of love that is our Jasper. While our other two have their moments of wanting some love, Jasper has been ever-consistent since the day he arrived and first curled into Meg’s lap and went to sleep on our front porch. Just as early upon his arrival,Continue reading “Sleeping kitties and spinning plates”
The Little Mouse Santi
As I’ve mentioned (a lot) in the past, storytime is a very important part of our daily routines. Whether it’s post-bathtime or not, our pre-bedtime ritual always involved getting a few books off our little guy’s bookshelf (although for quite some time he’s been old enough to pick them out on his own), all plopContinue reading “The Little Mouse Santi”

Although we knew we couldn’t keep him with threeContinue reading ““A Home for the Holidays” OR “A Monster-ous Update””
Snip snap
In the past week, I have gone through more electronics than I do in years. I’m not one of those gadget guys who has to rush out and buy new gizmos, trust me. In fact, before buying my most recent computer this winter, I had been using the same one for roughly ten years orContinue reading “Snip snap”
There’s a Monster in our Basement
This is an open letter to a frequent friend. It’s always hard to say goodbye, and often times the circumstances never allow us the way to say them that we truly wish. You entered our lives very quietly, I’m sure like you came and went from so many others. It was in the grassy greenContinue reading “There’s a Monster in our Basement”
