Sam is exceptionally private. For those of you who know Sam, this will come as no surprise to you. Because I’m not a really private person (case in point, I’ve been blogging for the past couple of years), it does frequently come as a surprise to me. Jess isn’t all that private either, and Marc, …

Friday Favorite Things
So I’m trying a new thing… each Friday, I’ll post favorite moments from the past week. In no particular order… 1. Wednesday night, we had dinner in the Sukkah. Marc built us a little hut outside, and Friday night, we bundled up in hoodies and had beans and hot dogs outside. It was lovely, …

Okay – I’m kind of ready for her to walk
I like the crawling stage. I do. I enjoy the early, early toddler stage – where they’re just starting to walk, just starting to talk. Everyone has ages that they seem to prefer, and I really like the first year or so. I mean, I love my kids always, but my favorite age has …

Because it’s impossible for me to get a pic with all three smiling at once
I’ve resigned myself to a lifetime of pictures where only two thirds (at most) of my children are smiling and looking at the camera. You’d think with a digital camera, I’d have a better chance of it, but nope – I have lots of duplicates of the three of them, in the same pose with …

New Years Resolutions

I left, and she cried until she vomited
I feel kind of like I’m in a relatively new stage of my life. With two kids in school and a toddler (who STILL stubbornly refuses to toddle) at home, my life is very different than it was when I had a kindergartner and a toddler at home, or a second grader, a preschooler still at home …

Bedtime Battles
Confession time here – I’m crap about putting my kids to bed. I like to cuddle them to bed. I just do. I nursed Sam until he was almost three and a half, and Jessie liked me to sing and read her to sleep. I just never got in the habit of shoving then into …

October Update
Starting from the top… Jessica is doing really well in third grade. She really likes her teacher and her papers coming home have been consistently in the 90-100 range. I’m really pleased by this – and have now decided to consider second grade just an aberration. I think the combination of it not being a …
