Puppy Love & Kisses

Kenny used to have a little stuffed dog, which he was never overly attached to, but played with from time to time.   We lost it while we were in Hawaii last month… apparently it fell out of his stroller during a walk in Lahaina town.   Twice.   It was returned to us the … Read more

The PGA Tour Stops Here

When we were in Hawaii last month, the PGA tour was kicking off in Kapalua.   This past weekend, we were again in the same town as a stop on the tour here when the PGA held a tourny  in Scottsdale.   Now, I’m not a huge golf fan; oh, I’ll watch it every once … Read more

Who Needs Sleep?

  Not my little angel.   Another sleepless night for Kenny, and yet when he got up this morning, he was all smiles and boundless energy.   I left him in the living room while I went to get my coffee, and came back to find him on the couch looking at his favorite book… … Read more

And the White Flag Flew

Last night Casey was away ~ back to Maryland for some business.   Though I tried to go to bed early, I got way too into my scandalous book and stayed up until I was closer to midnight than I needed to be.   Kenny woke up at 3:00 AM, instead of 1:15.   (There … Read more

Silence Shattered

For the second night in a row, Kenny woke up at 1:15 AM last night and started screeching.   It started off innocently enough as a cry, then a cry of “Maaaaaamaaaaaa!” then morphed into a screech that nearly took out the baby monitor on the nightstand. Casey went in, and the screams got louder. … Read more

Technical Difficulties

It seems that the latest post I wrote, “Things I Learned Today” was on this page for several hours – at least long enough for a couple of you to comment on it! – and then disappeared during a WordPress glitch this afternoon.   Ah… if only I had a draft copy to re-post, as … Read more

“AaaaLooo?” … and other phenomenons…

Yesterday, Kenny picked up one of the phones, something he does often, but rather than playing with the buttons or mutely holding it to his ear, got a concentrated look and shouted, “AaaaLoo?   Aaaalooo??”   I snorted out a laugh ~ mon dieu! he sounded too French!   Then he handed the phone to … Read more

Times, They Are A Changin’

Our first week here in Arizona is drawing to a close, and I think it’s safe to say that we are settling in.   The weather is cooler than we expected (30’s in the morning, high 60’s in the afternoon), but we’re loving every minute of life out here so far.   Kenny is the … Read more

Recovered

I’m still digging out from the move to Arizona, but I wanted to write a quick note to say that Kenny and I have both recovered from our rather harrowing cross-country flight. Kenny is back to being the sweetest boy on the planet, and I have reinstated myself as Mommy of the Year.   (ha … Read more

The Day That Lasted a Year

Yesterday I was “that woman” with “that poor baby” on the plane from Baltimore to Phoenix.   I have never been “that woman” before, nor has Kenny ever been “that poor baby” – not even close.   Oh, I’ve been on “that flight” before where “that woman” couldn’t control, soothe or quiet “that poor baby” … Read more
