Life Is Good

January 12, 2012

It’s been a hectic few months, but things are great! We went home for the holidays, saw a lot of family, and now we are all back at home and settling into a new routine. Other than Nathan’s turning 1 in a month (good HEAVENS that went by quickly!) I’m looking forward to a few [...]

Moving Is Like Eating Pasta

December 2, 2011

First of all, I doubt anyone even noticed, but I went from blogging regularly 3 times a week to . . . pretty much not blogging at all again. What can I say? Life got busy (SO BUSY! SO much has happened this month! We traveled! We met new family members! Nathan learned to crawl [...]

We’ve (Technically, Mostly) Moved!

November 23, 2011

We’ve had an INSANELY BUSY few weeks (We were out of town! We had family in town! I was sick! Nathan started learning to pull up on things and bonked his head a lot! We had to pack! And move! And unpack! And clean! And then repeat multiple times!) so I apologize for my temporary [...]

We’re Moving! (Again!)

November 9, 2011

Shortly after I wrote the post about how we were trying to find someplace new to live, WE FOUND A PLACE! I didn’t want to say anything about it until it was a done deal, but now that papers have been signed and money has been exchanged, I think the deal is done! It’s a [...]

Ahoy! My Baby Is A Pirate! (Another Glasses Update)

October 21, 2011

Nathan had his third appointment with the eye doctor, and my suspicions were again confirmed – the glasses continue to help, but still haven’t completely solved his problems (in whatever unit they use to measure the crossedness of eyes, his eyes were a 30 without glasses, a 12 after the first pair of glasses, and [...]

Blogging (And Other 9 Month Long Projects)

October 17, 2011

When I started blogging in this space, I had really grand plans for it. Then I got pregnant, and all of my good intentions were completely wiped out by the fact that I felt like I was mentally and physically fighting through quicksand (I did FAR less running and writing after I quit working than [...]

The Demise Of The Potato Tree

October 12, 2011

A little over a year ago, I wrote about how I buried an old russet potato in our planter box and it grew into a beautiful flowering bush. I had intended to write the epilogue for that post a few months later, but, um, I was pregnant! And miserable! And felt like I was always [...]

Glasses! (An Update)

September 28, 2011

Nathan had his follow up appointment with the eye doctor today, and I was proven correct – the glasses are indeed making his eyes LESS crossed (he went from 30 to 12 on the scale that they measure crossed-ness with!) but they obviously haven’t proved the perfect solution. They did a full check up again [...]

Glasses!

September 19, 2011

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Nathan seems to have inherited his eyesight from me (sorry, Buddy!) I got my first pair of glasses when I was 2 or 3, so when his eyes seemed like they were crossing a lot, we made sure to keep an eye on it (haha, I didn’t even [...]
