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, […]

bottomless pit
Last night we all had a chance to head out to eat. We chose a lovely Mexican restaurant due to its speed and willingness of the children to eat there. Sam was showing signs of ravenousness as I handed him chips so I had the waiter bring him out a plate before the rest of […]
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. […]

There’s some things about motherhood that nobody ever tells you about. Sure, you get the poop stories, the up-all-night stories and the warnings about your own impending memory loss, a.k.a. “mommy brain.” But other traps in The World of Mom you are left to discover on your own. I have recently found out that not […]

This morning Sam was crawling across the floor in Lydia’s room when a big sneeze escaped him and some snot dribbled down onto the carpet. Lydia, ever the observant one, is quick to notice this. “Ewww! Mommy, Sam got blessyou on the carpet!”
no more moon pies
Last week Sam had his checkup with the friendly neighborhood allergist. The doctor got to hear my roaring tale of Our Vacation: Amoxicillin Reaction Blues. I also pointed out this funny little rash Sam had picked up over the past month. It has seemed like dry skin to me, so I have been slathering the […]
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 […]

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 […]
sam plus guacamole equals
While I’m driving somewhere with both kids in the car, Lydia will usually take it upon herself to provide commentary on her surroundings, be it the trees or cars outside or whatever it is Sam is doing. “Look, Mommy — look! There’s trees! Look, Mommy — Sam’s sleeping! No, Sam’s awake! Sam dropped his toy! […]
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 […]
