My mom is coming again!She hasn’t seen Isaac T. since he wass 5 weeks old. He’ll be 11 weeks old tomorrow.He’s so very different, I wonder if she’ll even recognize him. I started back to school. There are 41 days left in the year. That’s all.

And then they were gone
My Mom (Grandma), Uncle Frankie (Great Uncle Frankie) and Brother (Uncle) left early this morning. I was sad to see them go. All the extra hands have been very helpful. They got to see Isaac smile. That was good. They also got to see him cry, poop, eat, and sleep. Those are his specialties. We […]
They’re Here….
My family arrived on Saturday night. I tried to post about it yesterday, but was interrupted by a crying monster baby… Here’s some pictures of our adventures: Great Uncle Frankie holding Isaac: My mom attempting to burp the boy: Jake’s wild hair, after a rockin’ night of sleeping on the floor:
Busy Day
Yesterday was a very busy day for the monster. Probably the busiest since we were at the hospital. Those days were very busy for him too (being born, being circumcised, getting shots and tests…).

Day 1 – On our own
My mom and Terry and Jake (and canine, Zeke) left this morning.It was sad. Now we are all alone in our parenting duties. Overall, it went well. It’s definitely tiring. It’s midnight (or a few minutes past) and we’re just sitting around waiting for Isaac to awaken for another feeding, changing, burping, possibly another changing, […]
the Christmas curse…
Every year, at Christmas, someone (or everyone) gets sick. One year, Jake had the flu pretty bad and gave it to me, just before we left to come home. Julie gets sick a lot.And this year, I’m fighting an unfun cold and cough.I wouldn’t normally complain, because I could douse it out at night with […]
