today is one of those days remind you that spring is on its way. it’s sort of cloudy and cold–typically february–but the morning was ushered in with the singing of birds. what kind, i don’t know. i’m not a birder, but it sort of made me want to find out. for about five seconds. then […]

our living room has somehow exploded into a mess of primary colors: blue, red, mainly yellow have intruded upon our subtle tones of green and brown (it sounds uglier than it is, believe me). it’s all seba’s fault. not really. it’s all his grandparents’ fault. here are some pictures of seb on christmas day… first […]

the christmas tree has exited the house. i might say, “finally.” last week when temps were in the 60s and it felt more like may than january, i began thinking that the tree had filled its full christmas potential. the lights just weren’t doing it for me anymore, and the tree was better defined as […]

these days i get a nosefull of the orange-piney goodness of our douglas fir christmas tree when i walk in our front door. the smell takes me back to days-gone-by of my childhood: we always had a real tree for christmas. i don’t recall that we ever, as a family, went so far as cutting […]

Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments Off on randomness and seb’s first “new” trip
at least in the weblog sense… i’ve been so busy writing essays for class (wahoo!) that i have neglected my narrative of seb-happenings. class has reached a crossroads into writing a long essay from now until semester-end, and i have decided to write about motherhood issues–pregnancy, childbirth–and then flesh out a bigger political issue from […]
