Farmer ‘Fi

Sophia and I are the ones who wore Dave down on the whole backyard chickens issue. She’s my partner in crime. Now he has one, has named it, and is as into it (almost) as much as we are. She tends to them several times throughout the day, checking their water, sitting with them, holding [...]

Do Re Me Fi Fi

I frequently refer to my younger daughter by the nickname she gave herself as a toddler. You’d ask her what her name is and she’d respond enthusiastically, “I’m Fi Fi!” So she’s stuck with it. Anyway, Fi is getting ready for a 50′s-themed music program at her school. She even has a speaking part where [...]

Catching up

The summer is always a busy time for us. Chicago keeps us locked indoors for so long during the winter months, that it’s hard to get me to stay inside very long once things warm up. Here are the broad strokes: We went to Texas to visit family. Sophia turned 10 and got her [...]

Halloween 2011

Sophia and I took Will out for his first round of trick-or-treating this afternoon. She’s been coaching him how how to say it for the past week or so, like the fantastic big sister she is. He toddled after her, climbing up stairs, announcing “tree a tree” and giving a polite “tee you” when the [...]

Knock knock

I have these little thumps going on in my belly this morning that aren’t strong enough to feel on the outside, but I can feel them on the inside. It feels like when you put a butterfly in a glass jar and they thump around trying to fly. Just soft little knocks and pings. This [...]

It’s a…

What cracks me up the most is watching their heads move in unison when they see a group of boys walking on the sidewalk outside our house. Oh brother.

Jenny Lind

I’ve been looking for the perfect midwestern farmhouse-style set of twin beds for Sophia’s room now that we sold her old bunkbed. Something that looks like it should have antique quilts folded over the foot. In that search I kept running across the Jenny Lind design. I’ve seen tons of cribs over the years and [...]

HEI-YAH!

Saturday morning Dave and I took Sophia to her first Kempo class. It was hilarious and awesome all at the same time. Our friend Jason usually teaches, but was out sick. He was sweet enough to show up long enough to help introduce Sophia to the environment and then headed home. I was so impressed [...]
