11 Months

That’s hard to write. In less than a month, our (quite possibly last) baby will be a year old. It’s making me all kinds of emotional. Ervin is standing on his own now, cruising all over the furniture, and (much to my chagrin) taking one or two steps here and […]

Project 365, Week 9

This has been another crazy week. We’ve moved fully into the Gluten-Free Diet in our household (I think it probably deserves to be capitalized, as it is quite a beast of a change), I’m getting back into the routine here after several days of Bliss in Nashville, and the baby has been […]

It’s Hard Being the Little.

Every Thursday, Erv comes with me to Ivy’s ballet class.He’s never content to stay in his car seat, though. And this day? He wasn’t content to stay out in the hall with me, either.He did make it in, by the way. It was the first time he climbed over a […]

A Year in Review (Part 3)

I’ve already covered the first half of 2011: the first part of the year was TOO exciting for me. Much, much too exciting. Thankfully, the next three months were low-key. July, August, and September were exciting again, but this time, in a GOOD WAY.In July,We celebrated the Fourth in a […]
