I’m still fighting off what I like to refer to as my “whooping cough”. It’s very frustrating, but whenever I get a cold or a sore throat, it turns into a lengthy bout with an annoying cough that consumes my life. A few years back, I had it for FOUR months. I finally had this […]
A Thousand Splendid Suns
I took advantage of some really good naps by BabyZilla and over the course of last night and today, I read A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. It was quite good. Like The Kite Runner, I couldn’t put it down. It’s maddening, I tell you.
Home
Last night, we made a spontaneous decision to head home early. We had hit most of the things we wanted to and were out of ideas, so we figured we could save money and some vacation days for Derek by heading back early. You can see all of our pictures here or you can watch […]
Vacation Slideshow
So, Derek has been diligently posting pictures of our trip to the picasa site.Since our connection to the www.internet.com is sooooo slow, rather than duplicate his work, I figured I would just tap into what he had already accomplished. Here is a slideshow of pictures from our trip. It will update whenever Derek adds new […]
Vacation Updates
So, we’re in Banner Elk.It’s been fun, thus far. Yesterday, we headed to Boone and hung out there for a little while. The boy rode around in the backpack like a trooper. We went swimming here in the afternoon, then headed out for dinner. Today, we almost went to Grandfather Mountain but decided not to […]
Seven Months
The boy is seven months old today.He’s getting big and smart and coordinated very quickly. I noticed today that he can make a kissing sound. He practices it whilst clearing off the coffee table of all of its inhabitants.(cell phones, cameras, coasters, towels, books…) We are heading to the mountains for a few days to […]
The Month In Review
Isaac will turn seven months tomorrow. Here’s a review of the last month in pictures.
3 Straight…..
We’ve had three straight “good” days, here at the ranch.The boy seems to be getting into a bit of a routine. He’s been going down for naps and bedtime without much fanfare. He is still waking early from some naps, but sometimes he’ll go back to sleep on the bed with me (a good nap […]
New Job
Today is officially my first day on the job. Up until today, it has been summer vacation. But, with teachers in Yadkin County reporting back at 9:00am this morning, I am officially a Stay At Home Mom. It’s weird to think about everyone getting all ready for school. Cleaning their rooms, writing lesson plans, attending […]
Jekyll and Hyde
On Saturday, the boy was an absolute MONSTER. He screamed a lot.And slept a little. And flailed about. And then there was the screaming a lot again. It was miserable. On Sunday, he was an ANGEL boy.He took two long naps. He seemed happy. He played without screaming.And smiled. And laughed. And that’s how the […]
