Get Well
Molly had to stay home from school for 3 days this week due to strep throat. They had to switch her to a more powerful antibiotic yesterday, and she’s finally feeling better with that. She was so happy when Mia brought home cards from her classmates! It was so sweet.
Little One
Baby #5 is looking good. Today’s ultrasound at 5 weeks, 3 days, showed a yolk sac and a fetal pole. I didn’t expect to see all of that so soon! I have another appointment in about 3 weeks.

Sugary Sweet
We are having an incredible week, so I made strawberry cupcakes. I’m pretty sure that’s a normal reaction…
William will start attending his new preschool by the end of next week. He will be in the morning program, Monday through Friday. I am happy for him, but I am going to miss the little man. I guess we both need this to prepare for September. Our district has full day kindergarten!
There are lots of exciting things on the horizon, evoking a constant I-can’t-believe-this-is-happening feeling. I will explain later! For now, I’ll leave you with Mia, reading her favorite poem.

A Snowdrop and Sweet Air

With coloured clouds – large, light, and fugitive…” – David Gray

The Puppy Trainer
The kids love to play fetch with Barney. We always say, “Go get it!” when we throw a toy. Lily caught on, and showed us that she could do it too!
Everyone had been playing with him all morning, so all he wanted to do was relax!

Climbing the Hill
We finally had enough snow to take the kids sledding today! There is a 100-foot hill at Long Branch Park. They had a blast. I wanted to join them, but I’m back in the way of running from microwaves and swearing off cold cuts. Let’s hope that lasts. More on that later (say, 2 or 3 weeks). It’s time for some photos!
Micah pulled Lily around on her sled, and she loved throwing herself into snow piles. I lost all sensation in my finger tips, courtesy of my new “texting gloves”. Turns out, they aren’t so practical in lakeside 15-degree air. We’re all slowly developing the cold tolerance that seems to come naturally to CNY natives. Sorry, New Englanders, but you have no idea.
A look at the busy lives of two parents, school-aged twins,
a preschooler and a toddler.
Turning a house into the perfect home, one project at
a time.
A glance back at an unforgettable fairy tale wedding
and the love story that started it all.
Searching old floppy disks and forgotten
folders for 90s nostalgia.
