The kids all piled in the tub for their weekly “before church” bath. (No worries. There’s a Tuesday morning “before co-op” shower too. Most of the time.) With the amount of dirt in the tub when all the water was out, I know one of two things. Either this last half of the week was […]
Here a goat, there a goat.
Meet Ms. Goat. She’d been named Blackie. It doesn’t seem very fitting to me, so for now, she’s Goat. Maybe we should have a “Name That Goat” contest. And her kid, Socks. I should have zoomed out – he really does have black “socks”. Cute, pitiful, and feisty. And currently taking up residence in […]
#6… heart beating, legs kicking, and stirring things up like a true child of mine
Ultrasound yesterday. My due date… is Charlotte’s first birthday. Won’t that be fun? Happy birthday, Baby Girl, here’s a new sibling for you. Ah, the irony of it all. No twins. He thinks. There was something else there that he couldn’t decipher, but couldn’t see a heartbeat in it so assumed it was the placenta. […]
Meet Ms. Goat. Photo shoot to follow.
Saturday, I bought a goat. Two, actually. A milking doe and her kid, old enough to be weaned but not. Milked before, but not recently. Cheap. Turns out, spending more might have been ok. My knee would say so anyway. I left them alone Saturday (after driving through the top of Springfield in a pickup […]
Mathematical confusions.
“Liberty, what unit of measure do we use to measure weight?” “Ilbs.” “Eden, if you cut something into two pieces, what is each piece called?” “Twoths? No, tooths isn’t a word. Teeth?” Oh boy, we’re learning now. Math provided a great deal of comic relief this morning!
Let’s mix things up, just a little. Ok, more than a little.
I’ve had two family practice doctors, two OB’s, and one certified nurse midwife (and then an OB when things didn’t go my way) for prenatal care. I’ve spent hours and hours in waiting rooms, waiting for my two minutes with my doctor. This time, it’s gonna be different. This baby’s gonna be born at home. […]
Such the memory.
Nine years ago today, I drove 66 miles from my job as a nanny on Long Island, got lost more than a few times, and went to a church in New Jersey for the second time. I’d been there once before, swore I wouldn’t do that and get so very lost again, and yet, two […]
You learn something new every day.
Decided to teach Charlotte to nap in her bed instead of in the swing. Turns out, it’s all my fault we’ve gone through more batteries than I can count. She went right to sleep – and is still sleeping an hour later. Day three of napping in her bed. That was easier than I thought […]
One brain cell at a time.
Why is it that when a child leaves the step stool in front of the bathroom sink (and this is all together common around here) I will just stand on the stool to wash my hands or brush my teeth? As I was brushing my teeth, elevated another foot in the air, bending in half […]
Baby’s got a new hat. Time to go to town.
See that button over on the side for 4Sisters4Freedom? That would be my husband’s nieces, four girls crocheting for a cause. They are selling their handiwork to raise money to fight slavery. I ordered this hat for Charlotte. The bow is one we made – I love that I can switch this out to match […]
