i was looking back at entries here today, and i saw that i haven’t yet brought this up to speed in terms of how oren is doing. this week was a really good week. oren stayed awake for longer intervals and smiled a lot during those times. nursing him became enjoyable because i could just […]

i vacuumed yesterday. the living room AND dining room. for the first time since oren arrived on the scene. it felt so GOOD. it’s embarassing how good it felt to clean. i think i’ll do it again soon. especially since just after i finished vacuuming, one of the cats puked on it. on the otherhand, […]

seb is sitting in his highchair pretending to eat “wormies”. i don’t know what started this. the only worms he has ever encountered are cute ones in books, and no one has ever eaten them. this morning, he came downstairs with me, spotted our grey cat, wolfgang, and said, “no this cat look at seba.” […]

rain just started pouring down from the sky, i notice with a glance in the mirror sitting next to my desk. the mirror is reflecting the front windows of the room directly into my view so i don’t have to turn my head. the rain is presumably leftovers from some lackadaisical and slow moving hurricane, […]

planks of cedar, nails and tools litter our back porch. the existing structure, partially covered and framed by the wood awaits cooler weather, less busy days and screens. brian’s dad is in the midst of creating a bug-free environment. seb picks through stacks of things saying “bing, bang”, searching for dzia-dzia’s (ja-ja is how you […]

if there is anything i want seb to be when he grows up, it’s respectful. respectful to brian and me. respectful to old people (i.e., grandma and grandpas). respectful to women. and i guess respectful to men too. just respectful. to everyone. i am realizing lately that this training should probably start. but at the […]

it’s 6:30 am on saturday–way too early to be up, i know–and i’m watching two cardinals frolick in our backyard… spring has finally come, and even though it’s raining, i’m excited. this is the first spring that we have lived in OUR OWN house, so we’re trying to make it seem more that way. i […]
