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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
**Picture coming in the morning; it’s late and dark and I need to go to bed.
My love of books has been with me for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories have to do with reading, at first picture books, and later chapter books.
When my sister was born, my parents gave [...]
Brett: Elanor, where do tooties come from? Can you show me where tooties come from?
Elanor: Opens mouth and points inside while grinning, obviously very satisfied with her answer.
Ooookay. I have no idea where she got the idea that you toot from your mouth…but I think it’s pretty darn hilarious.
I’ve got more posts coming up this week and next, including one about my recent creative and domestic endeavors, one about my current cooking rut (oh, it’s BAD), and one about the randomness that goes on around our house on a daily basis. So stay tuned!
I’ve been writing this letter for about a week now, [...]
