Such a good year. December 26, 2009

. I’ve been thinking a lot about what a wonderful year it has been for me and how grateful I am for it. I got to stay home and be a mother to my little monkey baby. We moved into a bigger space that is much closer to where Cal works so we see him [...]

Where have you been? December 6, 2009

I don’t blog even a little bit these days. My life has been taken over by this beautiful little man, and I make no apologies for it. I spend most of my time making sure that he is happy and the rest of the time getting somewhere that will make him happy! Our lives just [...]

September 28, 2009

This summer, originally uploaded by CamilleRynd. It’s been a while since I’ve written, I suppose that I’m getting used it, but I think about my poor neglected blog all of the time. I’m sure that as Andor gets more independent, I’ll have more time to write. As of now, we spend most of our time [...]

Looking forward to the sun! April 16, 2009

I can’t even describe how badly I want the weather to be nice again! Early this month the sun came out, full blast, and we all packed up and went down to the Square and had a day of sun and relaxation! It was lovely. Andor played and played and played. Of course, the weather [...]

Unresolved and Solving March 14, 2009

Here we are, three months into the new year and my poor ignored resolutions are yet to be reached. Blogging twice a week isn’t impossible, but I choose to read or play with my son when I have the time. I’m just not motivated to write that much. I think I ought to change the [...]

My Best Friend’s Wedding February 16, 2009

These photos and this blog were a long time coming, but they’re here! I can’t even describe how well the wedding went, despite the weather nearly causing many tempers to be tested and chain application challenged! All went well, no one fainted or gave drunken toasts, the food was good and the staff was very [...]

Good times and so forth February 7, 2009

This year, so far, has been great. Day by day I get more and more used to being exclusively a mom, and lose a little of the guilt of not being at work everyday. It’s tough when you’ve been made to believe that a person’s worth is merely what they can earn in dollars. I [...]

Hello 2009! January 1, 2009

  2008 is over and another year has just begun! The last year was, in some ways, the most difficult, and in some ways the most wonderful year so far in my life. I learned to finally let go of the notion that I can change anyone other than myself, a painful realization for someone [...]

Got Advice? November 1, 2008

     Relax, I’m not pregnant again. Many of you have asked for me to pass along some baby information, so here it is. Books, articles, and videos about birth, babies, and being parents:   The Continuum Concept by Jean Liedloff Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way by Susan McCutcheon-Rosegg Hypnobirthing by Marie F. Mongan The [...]

These moments October 9, 2008

When I found out I was pregnant, I knew that my life would change. These moments say it all.

A Stomach Virus, Dirty Wood Floors, and a Baby Squirrel August 21, 2008

My sister and I are in the process of getting to know each other. After Andor was born, she decided to come and visit so that we could learn more about each other. And how. I won’t tell the whole story because, quite frankly, I don’t want to re-live the whole thing. It was tense [...]

Update June 21, 2008

This is going to be written as long as Andor is resting or occupied. Here goes. Surgery is behind me. My body is fully functioning and normal. My linea negra is still quite dark and runs the length of my torso and down the back of each leg. My hair is still quite full and [...]
