Carving Pumpkins

October 31, 2008 – 9:20 am

Sophie fell asleep a couple hours before her bedtime on the night we carved pumpkins. She was not very happy when we woke her up. But then we showed her a pumpkin and told her what we were going to do. Then she was happy. She liked feeling the squishy insides of the pumpkin. And […]

Sleepytime?

October 30, 2008 – 12:14 pm

Every night, after pjs, nursing, bedtime story and poem, we put Sophie in her crib, tell her we love her, kiss her goodnight, turn on a CD and turn off the light. She has a couple CDs we use at bedtime but the one she listens to the most—the one she’s listened to probably 100 […]

F+W Friends

October 30, 2008 – 7:55 am

This past weekend I spent a lot of time with former colleagues. Some are still at F+W, some have moved on. I’m grateful I’m able to stay at home with Sophie and I know how lucky I am to be able to do the work I love from home. But sometimes, like when I read […]

Vote Yes!

Here’s Grandpa taking advantage of Sophie’s cuteness to help with the Great Oaks Renewal Levy. He spent Saturday afternoon trying to teach her how to say, “It won’t raise your taxes!” “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” —attributed to both Andy McIntyre and Derek Bok

Welcome, Baby Evan!

October 27, 2008 – 9:43 pm

Wednesday Sophie and I visited Rebecca, Chris and their new son, Evan. He was so chill—he just slept in my arms while Sophie seemed so active, so big, so (if this is possible) old. Evan is beautiful, and Rebecca and Chris seemed so happy—I’m so happy for them. “A baby is God’s opinion that the […]

Blessed Ink

October 24, 2008 – 9:09 am

Last week Sophie and I had lunch and wandered around the mall with my good friend Dara. She handcrafts stationery and invitations from her home so, like me, she has the luxury of occasional long lunches. Check out her beautiful work! “I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a […]

Grandma & Grandpa Uhl Visit

October 21, 2008 – 9:37 am

This weekend I hung out with my Grandma and Grandpa Uhl, who visited from Boston. I played with this Spanish-speaking toy they bought for me in Mexico. I wore my Boston Red Sox dress and baseball cap (which Dad wasn’t too happy about). I played with my toys while Mom, Dad, and all my grandmas […]

A Pumpkin Patch

October 20, 2008 – 10:16 pm

For months I’ve been looking forward to taking Sophie to a pumpkin patch. I wanted a quiet farm, away from busy roads, without lines, and rich with good-looking, perfect-for-carving pumpkins. Impossible? I thought so. But then I discovered Neltner’s Farm & Greenhouses, just 20 minutes south of our house. We rode a red wagon pulled […]

Great Grandmas

October 20, 2008 – 9:45 pm

Last week Sophie, Nini and I visited both of Sophie’s great grandmas. Here’s Sophie with my grandma Mangan. And a very happy Sophie with Nini. She got to do her favorite thing … … look up at trees. And visit with her great grandma Gebhart, too. “If nothing is going well, call your grandmother.” —Italian […]
