Six Months

September 30, 2008 – 8:23 am

Dear Sophie, Six months ago today I thought I’d be carrying you for a few more weeks. I didn’t know you were a girl, I didn’t know your name was Sophie. I didn’t know you’d weigh 5 lbs, 9 oz, which would mean your fingers and toes would be so delicate I’d almost be afraid […]

Suzanna’s 2nd Birthday Party

September 29, 2008 – 9:42 pm

Saturday we drove up to Medina, Ohio to celebrate Suzanna’s 2nd birthday. Sophie hung out with Great Uncle Mark, watched the big kids hit the pinata, admired Suzanna’s butterfly wings, hung out by the pond with me, and saw horses for the first time with Sandra, Suzanna and Dad. “Horses and children, I often think, […]

Indian Food & A Pretty Outfit

September 29, 2008 – 9:20 pm

Friday we went to Guru India Restaurant with Angel and Marty. Sophie’s wearing an outfit Angel and Marty bought for her when she was just a few days old. “The age of your children is a key factor in how quickly you are served in a restaurant. We once had a waiter in Canada who […]

My High Chair

September 29, 2008 – 8:55 pm

Mom and Dad finally bought me a high chair! Mom likes it because it was rated well by Consumer Reports and it matches the sunroom. “It isn’t so much what’s on the table that matters, as what’s on the chairs.” —William S. Gilbert

Pork Festival

September 25, 2008 – 10:44 am

Every year we go to the Preble County Pork Festival where we feast on a smorgasbord of pork chops, sausage, ham, applesauce, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, rolls and pie. Although Sophie technically attended last year’s festival—in utero—this was really her first one. I’ve only missed the festival twice. One year I was in […]

Aimee & Jon’s Wedding

September 23, 2008 – 10:55 pm

Saturday Andy and I spent the evening celebrating Aimee and Jon’s marriage at beautiful Alms Park. Their vows were beautiful, as were the seven steps. Shruti and I were both matrons of honor. We were terribly nervous before our speech. But I think she liked it. As I write this, they’re halfway around the world, […]

Buds

September 23, 2008 – 10:09 am

Lately Sophie has really taken an interest in Tucker. She turns and smiles whenever he walks into the room, laughs when he shakes his head or tries to paw us, and she loves to reach out and pet his fur, especially his ears. Although Tucker whines a lot more since Sophie has joined our family, […]
