kristjana Kenny asked, for the first time today, to go to the “Poddy!” and actually did his business there. Whoa. Recently, since he is so dramatic when he poops, I’ve been saying, “Kenny, are you pooping? Do you need to go to the potty?” and I’ll take him in there. Not with the … Read more
Kenny’s jet-lag and travel fatigue finally caught up with us today. He woke up too early, too hungry and too grouchy. He had his moments of Most Charming Baby on the Planet, of course, but the bulk of the day was a little hair-raising. It was one of those days where he begged to be … Read more
… or as close to it as being a mommy to a wild and wonderfully spastic 16-month-old can be. My own sweet Mommy came over today to play with Kenny for a few hours so that I could go through a tower of three-week-old mail, pay bills and clean this horrifically dirty house (Kenny … Read more
This is going to have to be short. We arrived home yesterday afternoon, happy and exhausted, and have been going nonstop since. You see, we have the unique opportunity with Casey’s job to go live in Arizona for three months, just as we did last year, and we leave this week. How … Read more

I am running in my first post-baby race a week from today. I was actually supposed to do this back in August, but due to many circumstances (namely, my lack of proper training), I was forced to drop out. So it will be a 15K one week from now. I think it … Read more
Have you ever come to realize just how much you love someone, just how affectionate you are towards them, when you have a span of time with nothing to do but enjoy their company? That’s how I feel about Casey and Kenny right now. The two of them make my life such a joy, and … Read more
Kenny turns out to be half fish, half boy. Who could guess how much he would love the water and the sand? As I write, Kenny is at the door yelling, “Beeeech! Beeech!” He is fearless, plowing through the surf, crashing into the tiny waves that roll over the protective reef. He is mesmerized with … Read more
