“You know what?

It smells like girl in here." -the husband, walking into the house tonight. I mean, duh.

Once upon a time, I gave birth to a tiny, sweet baby. And then, I turned my back for just one small second, and my newborn turned into an 8 and a half month old girl. A real person. And suddenly, she no longer fit in the blankets that once swaddled her tight; She no longer fit in the undershirts that ...

Um, hello,

what in the world has happened to this game? And better question, mom, do you still have mine?

“I finally figured out what she feels like;

Her skin feels exactly like a warm silk pillowcase." -the baby sis, on how to describe the incredible softness that is the baby's skin.

happy new

Full disclosure: I've now written about 15 different "first lines" for this post. None are sticking. None seem to fit. None will do justice to all that I am feeling. It is the first morning of the first day of the new year, and we have so much to celebrate, but I am tongue-tied. Going from 2010 to 2011 was an incredibly, and unexpectedly, emotional ...

2 bloggers blogging (or, not blogging, as the case may be)

Baby Gaga was born!!!! I am quite excited, for ...

and he shall be a good man

This was our lullaby tonight [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLMotU8Tu9E] I had Sir Elton sing the baby to sleep, as he just welcomed his own new baby into the world. His new son is named Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. And little Z.J. Levon was born on a Christmas day. No, seriously. He was. Coincidence? I think not.

Save the Date, the remix

So, do you remember this from, oh, about 6 months back? You know, the days when the baby's 1st birthday party was nearly a whole year away? Well, far away it is no more. As my dear mommy friend remarked recently, we are about to be bidding farewell to the year in which we gave birth. This means that we are ...

And baby Mii makes 3

Funny story: Just this evening, K and I had a hankering for some good old fashioned Donkey Kong Country. (This, apparently, is what happens to people who have been cooped up for 72 hours.) As a kid, Donkey Kong was my THING. I played my Supernintendo game so often, and with such skill, that I beat the game within a ...
