Okay, where to start? There’s been a lot going on in the past few months. I guess I should start by going back to October or so. I posted then that I was looking for a job. Things were tight, and we have already been living a bare-bones, no luxury budget for a couple of [...]
My dear Elanor,
Today, you are two years old!
I typed that and immediately got a little teary. I can’t believe it’s been two whole years since you were born and became a part of our family. What a wild and wonderful two years it’s been!
There are not words to describe the depth of my love for [...]
We had a great day yesterday! We stayed in San Francisco and our friend Kim (and her puppy Fipo) came down from Seattle for the holiday.
I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
We ordered Indian food for dinner tonight, which Elanor ate with relish. As we were cleaning up, Brett put on the new Jay-Z song and we started taking things into the kitchen. The next thing we knew, Elanor was on top of the table, dancing away. So we did what any responsible good…er, uh…parents would [...]
Sorry I disappeared and failed again on the NaBloPoMo thing. There’s been a lot going on this week; I may be able to share some potentially exciting developments here tomorrow, if things pan out. I hope.
Anyway, since it’s Thanksgiving as I’ve done in years past, I’m going to talk about a few things I’m thankful [...]
Well, Annie, your plea worked. I’m going to try to finish out the month, posting every day. It will be a good exercise for me in posting more regularly, I hope.
Today, since we are victims of a cold at our house (even our houseguest Nate has caught it…I feel awful about that), I’m asking for [...]
Sigh. I failed. Miserably.
Here’s my defense: first, my keyboard stopped working, just before NaBloPoMo started. And if that wasn’t enough, then my computer charger died and the battery on my computer was so low that it died, too. Then, I tried posting from Brett’s iPhone but Wordpress did NOT like the iPhone so typing a [...]
It’s been five months since we moved here, and four since the Great Church Debacle of 2009, and we still haven’t found a church here in San Francisco. It’s kind of frustrating, but it doesn’t surprise me. It took us almost two years to find our church in Maine; it makes sense that it would [...]
I have a lot of things I’m thinking about lately, so I think I’ll just do a bullet-style post; it’s just easier than writing a ton of transitions.
Writing: A post manifesto piece about our child rearing ideas. It’s gotten really, really long. It may wind up being a series of posts, actually, but, then, that [...]
Well, I did it again. I went on another unintended blogging hiatus. *sigh* I know, I know. But, like I mentioned in this post, it’s hard for me to blog when I’m preoccupied with something else. And lately, that’s been a really rough Elanor phase. Y’all, it’s been brutal. This parenting thing just keeps getting [...]
