So for the last, oh I don’t know, six months people have been saying, “Oh! What’s Briar going to be for Halloween?” and “The first real Halloween, you must have huge and exciting plans!” Each time they would look at me with big, happy eyes and a smile that seemed to say, “Aren’t you glad I asked? Now you [...]

Monday I stayed home with Briar. As some of you may know, Friday evening we had our first trip to the emergency room. Briar took a header into the baseboard molding and gave herself a goose egg the size of Rhode Island on her forehead. Everyone is fine. We didn’t even come away with any [...]

This was taken last night. Briar and I were sharing some Annie’s Shells and Cheese. Briar had on a new pair of shoes that she is wild about. She would come over, grab a shell, pop it in her mouth and then walk back to the other side of the room. Between the new shoes [...]

I mentioned earlier that Briar and I were going to the hospital for blood work, she for routine lead testing at 1 year, me for prenatal blood stuff. I had the sitter give Briar Tylenol ahead of time to deal with the ache she would get in the location of the shot. We weren’t nervous [...]

I checked Paula Abdul lyrics just now, an [...]

Just a few more pictures of Briar. She has taken to brushing and having her teeth brushed like she has taken to everything else in life. Sweetly and cooperatively. Ok, I know, if you have read some of my other entries you may think, “Hmm, I don’t know that I would describe the going to bed [...]

Checking on the coffee with her tea cup bear. Doing the “flirty shoulder”. Taking another massive piece of my heart!

Sippy cup and tunes. This is the look of satisfied delight she ALWAYS has after turning on her radio and dancing. She especially likes to turn it on when we are watching tv or talking. We of course stop. And dance. And standing with her Francis bear. Note the winter hat for the imminent Adirondack winter. Holding her [...]

Sometimes accomplishing the littlest things can be impossible (or maybe you are actually accomplishing a hell of a lot, but you don’t realize it because you get caught up on the one thing, from the list of 1000, that you didn’t get to.) My sister telling me that she checks the blog daily for updates and [...]
