Isaac is three weeks old today.At times, it seems to go by very very fast. But, at other times, it seems that time is standing still. This morning, while he cried and screamed and wailed – time dragged on. But, I can’t believe that it was already three weeks ago that we were at the […]
family
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 […]

Nothing
I really don’t have much to say, but I thought it was time for an update. Ummmmm…. The softball team is 9-0. Most of the games have been shutouts/blowouts, but we had a couple of close calls. In both we pulled in out in the bottom of the last (7th once, 8th once) inning. It’s […]
Signature Moves
Telephone call to my parents in NY today: Jake: (enthusiastic) Hello!!! Me: Hi Buddy! Jake: Hi Say-wah! Me: What are you doing? Jake: Oh…. just practicing my Signature Moves. He’s not quite right. In other news… I’m about to embark on the the first full week of students in 2005. I’m just completely unmotivated this […]
Home Sweet Home
We are in NY. We travelled home last night and got here around 2 am. It was one of the longer seeming trips we’ve taken. Partly because it was rainy most of the way and we left at 3:30 pm and Lucy was restless for the whole trip. We are in Buffalo, right now, hanging […]
Flowers
Jake and my mom are gone. But, they left behind some beautiful landscaping (including this flower box in our front “yard”)… Back to a nice quiet life — for two weeks, and then school starts again. 13 days, to be exact. Not that I’m counting.
