first and last

What a year! Can’t believe school is ending. This is my last morning of silence… I have overall been really happy with my decision to send her to preschool. I think it’s been a great year, and it was fun to do the school thing for a change. :-) I think she liked it, too. I wish we could have gotten her into the 3 year old class, but the 2 1/2 wasn’t bad. (The 3 year old class was…

11 years

This past Tuesday, Paul and I celebrated 11 years since we started dating! (We’ve been married 6.5 years.)

a 3 year old’s thoughts on birth

This morning, Savannah and Caroline and I were lounging on the bed before we got up for the day. I turned to Caroline and said, “You were born right here in this very spot!” Caroline, of course, just grinned and waved her arms and legs. “Caroline was born here,” Savannah echoed. I turned to her, interested. “Do you remember that?” “Daddy told me to go nigh-nigh and I closed my eyes. But when I opened them, I didn’t see you!…
