Christmas greetings through the years
I was just looking back through my December archives over the last several years and enjoyed seeing my holiday greetings again. I’ll be posting this year’s greeting tomorrow, but in the meantime, here are the last several years’ worth:
2006 featured one of my favorite ornaments. This friendly moon didn’t make it to the tree this […]
December Rolls Along
Reading books

Oh man. I can’t believe tomorrow is the last working day of the year (for me). Where has this month gone?
Alex has been practicing the holiday songs. He sings along with some classic favorites - Jingle Bells, Frosty the Snowman, Up on the Housetop, and Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer […]What do you mean, “chores”?
Ready for snow

Poor little boy. Don’t they have child labor laws in this country?
Actually, despite the look on his face, Alex loves his new snow shovel. He calls it his “vovel” (like “shovel” with a “v” on the front of it) and insists on keeping it inside the house instead of […]Mr. Manners
Daddy’s birthday cake

Today Alex and I went out to lunch, just the two of us. Alex was so well behaved! I was so proud of him! I just have to brag a little.
Not only was he patient and civilized, but he even put his napkin in his lap and then used […]Getting started, again
Okay, okay, I got over missing the portal deadline and joined the Holidailies at Home crew.
See, I like the prestige of the portal, but if I’m honest with myself, I’ve never actually kept up and made 30 entries in December. I can’t remember the details, but I think my number of entries has fallen off […]
Holidailies Dropout

So I figured they weren’t doing it this year. And now I find out that registration for the portal has already […]

More pictures in the November Flickr set. Happy Thanksgiving […]Alex wants to tell you something…
Cutie

This little boy has a lot to say. He talks all day long — and we are even starting to understand some of it! Today he used signs, gestures, and words to tell us that his tummy hurt. Poor little guy — he is sick with a fever and a bad […]
Hiya
Big grin!

I am so tired. This has been a busy week, and it’s not even over yet.
I had a three day meeting at work so Alex had to go to daycare an extra day this week. Chorus had two rehearsals instead of one (though I could only make one because of […]Weekend Wrapup
Kitchen haircut
Originally uploaded by Raspberry World.We had a great weekend visiting with Alex’s Nana and Granddad. We are so lucky they could come up to New England for the last two weeks. We got to see them last weekend in New Hampshire and this weekend at our house. We sure miss seeing the grandparents most […]
