Kenny and I were discussing Baboo’s impending arrival recently. He asked, “When is he coming out?” “In a few more months!” I said. “What’s a few more months?” “Soon.” “After lunch?” he asked. You’ve got to love little ones who live solely in the present tense!
An Easter Sunday picture… Kenny and his cousins!
I just spent the last 24 hours in the hell of food poisoning. I think it was a slice of pizza I grabbed at the mall on Friday afternoon… funny, because it tasted “fine” but at the time I remember thinking, “Hm. This probably isn’t very fresh…” By 1 in the morning, […]
I have a distinct memory of being pregnant with Kenny – I had to be at least 8 months along – and sitting in a meeting with Casey about the renovation on our house, watching in astonished (and slightly embarrassed) awe as my belly started to move like there was an alien inside, aching to […]
Seriously, I was surprised and honored to find out today that I was selected as one of “The 50 Best Mom Blogs” on the parenting site Teens Today with Vanessa Van Petten. (If you are a parent of a teenager (or a soon-to-be-teen), I recommend this site; Van Petten is relevant and hip and […]

Kenny has one impressive set of vocal chords. He is LOUD. Most of the time, loud is cute, funny, charming and free-spirited. But occasionally, when pregnant Mommy has an epic headache, Daddy is having a day and Dudley never got his walk and is flying from couch to couch, airborne with the […]
To state the obvious, I haven’t been blogging as consistently these days as I once did. I keep trying to kick my rear into action, but I’m so tired. I’m only 24 weeks pregnant, and I’m so tired that I haven’t cleaned house since we’ve been home from Florida. I’m such a […]
Kenny had his very first dentist appointment today. It couldn’t have gone better. He sat in my lap first and watched the dentist clean my teeth, then when it was his turn, he was so excited, he did everything exactly as they told him, holding his mouth open for the cleaning and everything. […]
We arrived home from Florida at about 4 PM today. Kenny is a great little traveller, and Dudley wins the best canine-in-the-car-of-the-century award. But boy are we tired!! As we crossed over the Maryland state line, Casey and I did a little math, and figured out that of the 30 months of Kenny’s […]
