He may not feel well, but he’s still a charmer!! I actually find myself at a loss of what to write.   Kenny is still not quite himself, Dudley is still a shadow of his normal crazed whirlwind, and I still can’t seem to shake my cold.   Today was fine; nothing to note, nothing … Read more

I mentioned a while back that Kenny had a mild obsession with balloons.   What kid doesn’t?   His  balloon radar is  s keen that he will even start earnestly calling, “BOON!   BaOON!” from the backseat of the car when we pass a car dealership having a sale.   Going through the grocery store … Read more

I took Kenny to his first gymnastics class today (not Gymboree, but a little different, a little better in my opinion), and he had the most fun that I’ve ever seen in his precious fourteen months of life.   He was in his glory ~ endless safe, soft things to climb on, obstacle courses (that … Read more

We do not usually kennel Dudley when we travel.   In fact, I can count on one hand the number of times that we have put Dudley into boarding (and we go out of town at least twelve times a year).   Unfortunately for this past trip though, we were unable to find anyone who … Read more

Tonight was the black tie dinner for the RZIM conference “we” are attending.   And I was suddenly so jealous that Casey was going without me, as I watched the gorgeous couples arrive in their gowns and tuxes, that I burst into tears in the lobby and had to wheel Kenny out for a hasty … Read more

I just had a glass of Malbec, a room service dinner  and a long, hot bath.  Am I on a solo vacation?  No – we are at a conference with RZIM in Colorado Springs, CO, staying at  The Broadmoor, the  most beautiful resort I’ve ever been to in the States, and Casey has gone to … Read more

There is no such thing as traveling light with a one-year-old.   As I put Kenny’s things together to pack for a three and a half day trip to Colorado, I realized that half his suitcase was toys, a quarter was diapers and the rest as many outfits and sweaters as I could smash in. … Read more

We took Kenny to our next-door-neighbors’ houses on both sides for his first venture into trick-or-treating.   One of our neighbors was actually ready for him with a Starbucks bag and biscotti (which they figured would be good for teething!)     Kenny wore his cow costume, and really enjoyed going visiting in the dark. … Read more

Tonight, just before shuttling Kenny off to his bath, Casey found a video of Kenny from March 26.   Doesn’t sound so dramatic, but I couldn’t believe my eyes at the little Wiggler that was on the screen.   He had no teeth.   He could strenuously roll himself over, but not yet crawl.   … Read more

I need to find the charger for our video camera so that I can film Kenny as he comes down the stairs every morning, so I can post  it on this blog.   He  toddles straight to the stereo, bangs it with his innocent exuberance (because we all know that banging  on the stereo  is … Read more
