Thawing Winter

January 7, 2014 – 5:23 pm

Last night ice crystals formed on our single-pane, leaded-glass windows that frame our front door. This morning, I noticed the most beautiful ice formations on the window in our half bath, accentuated by the early morning sun. And then Owen climbed up on the stool to wash his hands and … nothing. I looked at […]

That Look

March 27, 2013 – 10:53 am

Andy comes home today! Sophie has quite the welcome-home plans for him … My parents came over and treated us to dinner last night. And earlier in my week of solo parenting Owen and James spent the night at my parents’ house, giving me time to tackle my piles while Sophie was at preschool. My […]

Solo Parenting

March 25, 2013 – 11:53 pm

I took the kids to Skyline for dinner tonight. Randomly Owen and James started yelling out Reds baseball player names, including Jay Bruce and Johnny Cueto, with great gusto. For Christmas, my dad gave James framed pictures of baseball players to hang in his room. My dad often reminds Owen and James the names of […]

Woodfill’s Big Top Festival (Year Three)

November 5, 2012 – 10:12 pm

I love everything about this festival. I love how kid-centered it is. I love how inexpensive it is (although as the kids get older, we’re discovering it becomes more and more costly). I love how everything is run by volunteers. I love how all the money earned benefits the school. I love how excited my […]

A Summer Day With Family At My Parents’ House

August 10, 2012 – 11:21 pm

Earlier this summer my cousins Emilie and Wendy, and Wendy’s children Makenna and Mavvie, visited Ohio from their hometown in Kansas. We see them so rarely—their visit was a treat. And we spent a wonderful summer afternoon at my parents’ house. Sophie, Makenna and James jumping on Nini and Pop Pop’s bed Mavvie, James, Sophie, […]

The Porter House (aka A Little Dream of Mine)

May 27, 2012 – 9:51 am

This is the post in which I confess my obsession with a house that (according to Andy) we will never buy. We don’t want or need to move. I love our house. I love our community. The schools are great, Andy’s commute to work is reasonable and we have many good friends here. But, from […]
