On Illness, and Love

June 26, 2009 – 9:14 am

A couple weeks ago Sophie got sick. She stopped eating yet she needed constant diaper changes. She had a fever. She had a runny nose. She wouldn’t sleep. I gave her Tylenol. I turned PBS on and left it on—a rare treat. I played with her. Read to her. Took her temperature constantly. I tried […]

Sophie’s 1st Reds Game

June 25, 2009 – 4:53 pm

My parents had four tickets to a recent Reds game so they invited Sophie, Andy and I along. Andy had a softball game so he was unable to make it. They played the Reds and it was that night, 34 years ago, that my dad asked my mom to marry him on the way to […]

Andy’s 30th Birthday

June 23, 2009 – 8:48 am

June 12 we celebrated Andy’s 30th(!) birthday at Outback Steakhouse. Then it was back to our house for a song and blowing out 30 candles. Sophie’s still too young to make cards so I let her pick one out from the store, instead. Apparently she likes Garfield. And pop-ups (but we knew that). Sophie was […]

A Kindergarten Class Party

June 23, 2009 – 8:09 am

A couple weeks ago my mom had her entire kindergarten class over for a class party. The children ran around the yard, ate food and played T-ball. Sophie played with a baseball, hung out with Grandpa and rested on the big beach blanket my mom put out on the grass for her. This was my […]

Paddington Bear’s Hat

June 22, 2009 – 5:26 pm

This is Paddington Bear. Nini made him for Mom when she was a little girl. He’s my bear now. He likes to sit here, in my room. Whenever I go into my room, the first thing I do is go over to Paddington Bear … … take his hat and … … put it on […]

Nick’s Pictures

June 15, 2009 – 2:56 pm

Our good friend Nick Daggy took family photos of us at Ault Park late April. I loved the way they turned out. It was a long photo shoot for Sophie, and Nick took 500+ photos in an effort to get some good smiles. Thanks again, Nick! “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of […]

Slowly Growing …

(Thanks to Andy for the hairstyle, and my dad who caught her funny look—talking about her hair and face here—on film.) “Hair style is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself.” —Hubert de Givenchy

Cindy & Will’s Baby Shower

June 15, 2009 – 8:52 am

Two Sundays ago Sophie and I drove to Columbus to celebrate Cindy and Will, and their soon-to-be-here Baby Boy! Cindy’s sister, Christy, threw a perfect shower. Sophie loved playing in the water table with some of the many other children who were there. We’re trying to teach Sophie how to share … She did, however, […]

My Clothesline

June 10, 2009 – 11:56 pm

For Mother’s Day this year, Andy built me a lovely clothesline, which I’ve long wanted. I eagerly took my first load out while Sophie napped. It was a windy, sunny day, perfect for drying clothes on a line. I left them out for a few hours, and then Sophie and I went to the dentist […]
