H1N1 Vaccine

October 31, 2009 – 11:44 pm

It was important to me that Sophie got the H1N1 vaccine. I’d heard too many terrible tales from good friends whose families were struck with H1N1. I had intended on taking Sophie to the Butler County Vaccine Clinic (the closest I could find) last Friday but didn’t after learning they stopped letting people in due […]

A Day with Rashmi, Shruti & Aimee

October 31, 2009 – 11:30 pm

My good friend Shruti was recently in town with her daughter, Rashmi. So our friend Aimee took the day off work and the five of us hung out. Shruti and I dressed Rashmi and Sophie in shirts we bought for them in Morocco. They played on the hearth together … until they got mad at […]

Picking Pumpkins

October 28, 2009 – 8:56 am

This year we, again, went to Neltner’s Farm & Greenhouses, our favorite pumpkin patch. Sophie loved the small animals … especially the chickens on the goat. We rode the horse-drawn wagon up the dirt road to the pumpkin patch. Sophie was suddenly surrounded by her favorite thing to point on people’s porches during our walks—pumpkins! […]

An Art Project

October 23, 2009 – 2:03 pm

Sophie and I recently went on a walk and, as usual, came back home with lots of acorns and fallen leaves. So we decided to make a collage for Andy. Sophie was thrilled with the idea of using a glue stick. And oh, the joy of sticky tape! And she thoroughly enjoyed sticking—and then unsticking—the […]

Wearing Mama’s Shoes

October 20, 2009 – 5:43 pm

What? Too big? “The fact is, sometimes it’s hard to walk in a single woman’s shoes. That’s why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun.” —Jenny Bicks

Justin and Jenny’s Wedding

October 20, 2009 – 5:34 pm

I recently went on a whirlwind solo trip to Fort Worth, TX for Justin and Jenny’s beautiful wedding. I missed Sophie (and Andy) but did enjoy being able to stay in the sanctuary long enough to see the kiss! Then to the historic Hilton Fort Worth for the reception … with lots of friends … […]

A Happy Find

October 15, 2009 – 5:02 pm

I was rearranging books on our bookshelf the other day when a folded piece of paper towel floated to the ground. In it was a pressed white rose. It took me a moment but then I remembered—I had saved one of Sophie’s roses from the dozen Andy brought home for her when she was only […]

Joe and Elizabeth’s Wedding

October 14, 2009 – 10:50 pm

A couple weekends ago we drove all the way to Milwaukee for a wedding. I was pretty annoyed with the drive by the time we reached Chicago, so Mom and Dad took an exit and, as luck would have it, found a park! Dad was very cold. I sat in a train with Mom. And […]

Red Robin

October 14, 2009 – 10:20 pm

We recently had a slightly chaotic dinner (but with good company) on an early Saturday evening at Red Robin. Apparently Red Robin is the place to take your kids for early Saturday dinners out. It was crazy, but fun. “The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument […]
