Claire & Violet making pumpkin ladies (I seriously thought about combing Violet’s hair, but the thought exhausted me) We had the annual Autumn Festival on Wednesday. I started my chicken tortilla soup at 2 pm, but I am so slow at the moment that I didn’t finish it until 6pm. I should have planned something […]

Taken with my iPhone this morning. Simon isn’t going to let anyone sneak up. Finally. I am 3 months pregnant, but it took forever. If you ever want to slow down time, get sick and pregnant. Now that I am entering the 2nd trimester I feel like I am on the downhill side of this. […]
iPhone photo: taken the other evening of Sabra reading to the younger kids I will start with the sad because I like to end with happy. I had this notion that once I got through Christopher’s memorial service last week that I would simply move on. Easier said than done. I keep going back […]
Saturday was a sad day. The day of Christopher’s memorial service. A day for weeping and wailing and wearing Carhartts. Sunday was better. We brought the kids to town for lunch and then Anna and Mutti came to visit. We all gathered around fresh crab and melted butter in the kitchen. Later we had pumkin […]
I wish I wasn’t writing this post. I was walking around in the fabric store yesterday when I got a simple text from my mom. Did you hear about Chris V? My heart dropped. I looked at the corner of my phone screen and saw that I had missed a text from my 17 year […]
9 weeks pregnant today and I still have not puked. Not even once. I am shocked and amazed and happy. It is true that I am on Zofran full time and spend my days trying not to puke, but I am trying really hard not to complain because it could be so much worse. 10-12 […]

Autumn is here and it feels more like summer. Sunny and 80 degrees. We are still spending time at Woolly Swamp and grilling supper. I feel better with this baby than any other pregnancy. I am on zofran 24/7, tired and slow, but it is all so bearable. Maybe ten is the magic number? Maybe […]
Our Spencer Cole is 14 already. A sweet, sensitive, goofy and sometimes annoying kid. He will sit beside me while I am visiting and chant in monotone “mama, mama, mama” until I want to laugh and backhand him at the same time. He comes up with the weirdest nicknames (takes after my dad on this […]
I confess that most of this is pudge, but there is a swollen womb and a baby the size of a crumb that is pushing it out. It is nice to have an excuse for the bulging belly. It all goes well until someone asks how far along I am. I started the documenting at […]
