They Bloomed!

April 29, 2010 – 2:10 pm

In September 2008 I wrote about planting iris bulbs while Sophie happily watched from her swing on the front porch. (You can read that post here.) Last year the irises came up, but didn’t bloom (my mom says this is common). But this year—just look at them! (Both of them.) “If you’ve never been thrilled […]

31-1/2 Weeks

April 27, 2010 – 10:03 pm

Baby A: It’s difficult to see much in pictures now, as the babies are getting bigger. (And note that they must have keyed in the gestational age incorrectly—they’re not 24 weeks, as printed on the pictures, but rather they’re 31 weeks 3 days.) Baby A (in 4D!) Baby B: He or she was shy today—it […]

Mothering from the Sidelines

April 24, 2010 – 11:07 pm

Bed rest, at times, has sounded heavenly to me—the luxury of having hours to read books, watch movies, organize photo albums, write letters, work on the children’s book that has been bouncing around my brain for more than a year now, sleep. But bed rest with a 2-year-old doesn’t allow for such luxuries. While it’s […]

Spring in Our Yard

April 24, 2010 – 9:22 am

“Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.” —Rainer Maria Rilke

My Hospital Stay

April 19, 2010 – 11:39 pm

A complaint about low back pain resulted in me finding out I was 1cm dilated and 50 percent effaced so I was sent to Good Samaritan Hospital for monitoring. The babies’ heartbeats looked great but a resident spotted a couple contractions (which I couldn’t feel) so I was given a shot of Brethine. The contractions […]

Easter

April 19, 2010 – 10:44 pm

Easter morning didn’t start off so well, even though we really built up the fact that the Easter Bunny had visited the night before. There was a lot of rolling around on the chair and whining—why, we have no idea. Tucker, however, was quite intrigued with what the Easter Bunny left behind Sophie’s house. Sophie’s […]

An Egg Hunt

April 19, 2010 – 8:50 pm

The Saturday before Easter Christine, Connor, Tari, Whitney and Lauren came to my house so we could all walk over to the annual Spring Egg Hunt at Tower Park. (I went last year, too!) Connor gave me birthday presents, including a fish puzzle with a pole and everything, which I love. Then we played with […]

A Birthday Package

April 17, 2010 – 11:08 pm

Sophie recently received a birthday package from Mel and Great Auntie Bear, my grandma’s sister. In it were all sorts of little trinkets and play things Sophie now loves, including a tiny, beautiful handmade purse made by Mel’s mom. I’ve never met Great Auntie Bear or Mel—they live in Seattle—but we hope to, someday. I […]

Sawyer Point with Whitney & Lauren

April 17, 2010 – 10:51 pm

Earlier this month Sophie and I met Tari, Whitney and Lauren at Sawyer Point. But first we met a woman who loved pink, loved her dog and loved Sophie. The woman insisted Sophie walk her dog for a bit, which Sophie of course, loved. While waiting for her friends Sophie “vacuumed” the park with her […]

Meeting William Domaschko

April 17, 2010 – 10:35 pm

Late March we had the pleasure of meeting William Domaschko, Jill and Dirk’s new son. He’s beautiful and slept almost the entire time we were there, despite Sophie’s meltdown over juice. Congratulations, Jill and Dirk! We’re so very happy for you. “An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,regardless of time, place […]
