I heard back from the pastor. I emailed my letter Tuesday afternoon about 2:00, and he called me at 5:30. Not a bad turnaround, actually, considering I wasn’t expecting a response. The conversation was very civil, and very calm. He apologized for how we were treated, and said that he was glad I’d taken the [...]
Remember this post? About the time Elanor and I got kicked out of a coffee shop? Yeah. It happened again. Only this time, we didn’t get kicked out of a coffee shop, we got kicked out of a church. *jaw drops to floor* I know! Me! Getting kicked out of church! CHURCH! Haha. It’s so [...]
A quick note to say that Brett’s French press post is written and awaiting my editing, so I hope to have it up within a week or so. Also, thanks to Jenn and Sara for de-lurking to comment on my last post! Jenn, I totally remember you and have seen your blog before, through Bree’s, [...]
Oh, my girl, You are a whole year old! It seems like you’ve been with us forever, and yet it seems like just yesterday you were born. You are such a little person now. I love seeing your personality — even when it manifests itself in willfullness and tantrums — emerging. This past month has [...]
Elanor’s getting about seven more teeth, again, which seems to be the story of my life these past few months. It’s led to a new round of biting everything (including Mama while nursing…OUCH), which I am severely trying to discourage as it hurts like you wouldn’t believe to be bit while a baby nurses. We [...]
It’s late, the snow is falling (and falling and falling) outside, and Elanor and Brett are sleeping. I’m supposed to be blogging, but despite the fact that I usually compose about a million blog posts in my head throughout the course of any given day, I can’t seem to think of much to write. So, [...]
Dear Elanor, Today you are 11 months old! You have changed so dramatically in the past few weeks; your development has just exploded lately. I’m not even sure where to start. You are not walking without support, although we are thinking more and more now that it’s coming any day. You will push various items [...]
I think I might fall over of cuteness overload. I just put pigtails in Elanor’s hair for the first time. Oh. My. Lordy. I’m just gonna post pictures because there’s not much I can say; I’m too overwhelmed by it. Now, seriously. I mean, I know I’m her mom and all, so I think she’s [...]
I remember writing last year’s Thanksgiving post, and feeling a huge sense of awe at how blessed we were at that time. I wrote that our previous year had been pretty bad (and it had) but that I was so thankful for where we were at that moment. This year, I feel that sentiment even [...]
Elanor and I spent quite a while today watching clips on You Tube from Sesame Street, mostly stuff that I remember from when I was a kid. I loved Sesame Street when I was young, and while I don’t remember this clip (it was a few years before my time) it just reminds me of [...]
