So far so good. Cooper and I came home Wednesday at lunchtime. He is a great little sleeper (so far!) and a pretty vigorous eater, too. Kenny is happy to have him home to stay… … and Casey is already prepping him on rooting for the home team. I’m having some wicked […]
First off, thanks to my sweet and gracious hubby for the guest posts over the last few days. I needed a break! So. I’m having a c-section after all. You see, on my birthday Wednesday, Casey found the detailed journaling he did of the night Kenny was born, and printed it out, thinking that […]
Well, my ultrasound was today. And I’m still pregnant. Not that I was expecting to be un-pregnant by the end of today, but I guess that since for 34 of my 39 weeks I’ve thought of JUNE 24th as the baby’s birthday, it’s been a rough day emotionally to accept that I’m probably going […]
Though we have been pretty casual about crabbing the last four summers of living here, this summer, Casey has decided that we are going to feast on the bounty of the Bay. He has been diligently manning the traps, feeding the daily catches and transferring them to a holding tank, and driving far out […]
As I sat down to write a post tonight, I had in my hand a partially eaten Good Humor ice cream bar. Dudley, ever hopeful, ever patient, sat to my left with his head resting on my left arm, gazing wistfully at the frosty dark chocolate and slowly melting ice cream. I spoke […]

I just wanted to post a quick congratulations to one of my most-admired Mommies out there… Audrey of Pinks & Blues had her FOURTH boy today at noon! This gal, along with her mom and sister, run a fantastic website called Pinks & Blues Girls. And Audrey does it all with first […]
Today started off ordinary enough… Kenny ran into our room at 6, and we gave Casey his Father’s Day present. Then it was off to church. Kenny is a huge fan of Sunday School, so it’s one of his favorite outings of the week. Running close second to Sunday School, though, is […]
Last night Casey and I decided to do a family date night… after all, who knows how many more chances we’ll have to go out on the town with just the four of us?? (Dudley is one of the four, in case you are counting…) We sat outside at our favorite restaurant, then walked for […]
Hm. That title sounds potentially steamy, but let me assure you that the only thing getting steamed is my nerves. Kenny is suddenly turning bedtime into a real battle. He’s always (with a few exceptions here and there) been very good about going to bed and sleeping all night. But the […]
