Sam struck the jackjpot this year. Not only was it his Golden Birthday; it also fell on a Saturday — a great day for parties! So it came to pass that Sam celebrated his second birthday on the second of June, a surprisingly mild day complete with superhero masks, capes, and Sam-friendly cupcakes. Yes, I […]

sputnik; twenty-four months in orbit
Last Saturday, Sam had his Golden Birthday — he turned two on the 2nd of June. Another year has flown by. Since his birthday fell on a Saturday, we had his party on the same day. Sam is still doing really well with his speech therapy. His teacher has been very pleased with his progress […]
I saw mommy sitting by Santa Claus
Santa Claus came by for a visit this past week at the kids’ daycare. Just as I suspected, Sam was not thrilled at all this year to be sitting in a creepy man’s garishly red lap. Sam was only willing to get near the guy if he sat on another lap entirely — mine. Yep, […]
the tree; 2011
I knew I would have a year like this. 2011 turned out to be the year. It took me three days to get all the lights on the tree. Apparently all the Lowe’s and Wal-Marts and Targets of the Birmingham area only saw fit to stock a few boxes of the plain old incandescent white […]
sputnik; eighteen months in orbit
Hey, I hoped y’all enjoyed that little jaunt into the wayback year of 1999. I doubt I’ll have that many posts in one month again for quite some time, if ever. I probably confused the heck out of my server. ________________________________ So yeah, Sam’s 18 months old, so I figured I’d give a status report. […]
septembre vingt-sixième
Ma nièce s’allume trois ans aujourd’hui. Joyeux anniversaire, Elizabeth!
three year old taco
She’s what? Three? Really?? Time flies when you’re laughing with a little brother. Of course, she corrected me the other day. She told me she wants to be ten. She has the attitude for it. I don’t think I ever got around to mentioning it, but Lydia had her very first haircut this past year. […]
sputnik; twelve months in orbit (one earth year!)
And here we are, back to June again — let the birthdays commence! First up is my little Samwise, who is finally one year old. I say ‘finally,’ but it really has gone by at warp speed. What a year, man; what a year. Once I realized we had less than a month until Sam’s […]
mr roboto
Though Sam has a few more days before he is officially one year old (Oh my god, it’s been a whole year?!), we had his First Birthday Party this past Saturday. Having it the week before helps push it just that much further from his sister’s party; plus, it’s a three-day weekend! I will be […]
sputnik; eleven months in orbit
Yay, yay, the sputnik post is on time — wait . . . oh. Ha ha. Yes, Sam turned 11 months old back on May 2nd; my 31st birthday. I happened to be home sick that day, then life just continued from there. I’ve been sick twice and Sam is sick right now. Lydia tried […]
