Eight Months later

So, I had a baby. EIGHT months ago. 
She's a happy, happy baby. It's so fun to watch her figure out the world.


She got sick this month. Her nose was so runny, and her coughs were murder for her momma. 
She didn't sleep well (and that's saying something!) so neither did I. Recovery has been slow, but I think we'll get there.

Life according to my phone

This old phone of mine- he comes with me everywhere. I take more pictures with my phone than with my good camera lately, because, really, it is more portable, quicker, and easier.
The photos are not better, but there you have it.

This month has been full of events and moments, and this phone has captured most of them. Let the photo dump begin!

A walk in our neighborhood. We saw a "Green-headed fire dy-hydrator"
 And a "red headed one"
 And our neighbor's statue of a 'wilderbeast'

Dinner out with my favorites



A boy got the horrible cold of the year,
 and his coughing earned him a quick trip to see dad and get a breathing treatment in the ED.



Another boy lost a front tooth (don't worry, the second front tooth is on its way)


Claude Monet taught us a thing or two at the 'waxless wax museum'


I decided to try a new hair color


Socks was in a musical




Grapes was recognized with the citizenship award for her class!


Pencil graduated pre-school

He got the curiosity award.


The biggest two and I went to the high school production of "Cinderella" on a date


The weather has been distinctly summery, and I told that Doctor of mine, "I love the onset of summer!! Well, except for the snow." It's only snowed twice this month, and never stayed for too long, so there's that, anyway. 
Life is good! Happy May to you!

The business of being the Mom

I've been thinking about motherhood for a while now. (like 11 years, what?!)
I mean, this is my life's work.


My Magnum Opus, if you will.

And I still feel like I haven't really gotten started. I have all these visions....imaginations of what a mom could be. Should be, maybe. And I have highly polished intentions of becoming That Mom.
