OSV Tradition

I took this picture a while back while we were on our annual trip to Old Sturbridge Village. It was our first "vacation" outing as a family of 5.

These kids are my world.

Soccer Stars, Part 2

This past weekend, The Guppy got her chance to be the soccer star when she was awarded her medal at her team's pizza party. The joy on her face at getting her very first medal was priceless!!

Later, after she had gotten her medal and eaten her pizza, she pulled me close and whispered "Next time, can I do dance instead of soccer?"


She is my delicate flower.

A Recent Thing

He's a happy baby now, but it hasn't always been this way.

Wordless Wednesday

I'm also over at API Speaks today, talking about the concept of "good" babies.

A Recent Thing

Tuck, Shush, Off to Sleep

He falls asleep....

...and The Mermaid tucks him in....

...and gives him her favorite toy...

...and my heart melts.

I Want One, Too

He laughs whenever she gives him a kiss.

Everyday Things

No poses, no plans, no fancy cameras to capture the best photo.

Just everyday things that occur in our house, everyday moments of our life.

Lots of kisses. We can't live without kisses in this house. Taken with a webcam.
Everyday nap, only this time, my precious Tadpole was laughing in his sleep.

I resolve to capture these everyday moments more often, for it is these moments that make life so special.

Mother's Little Helper.

And no, I'm not talking about pills.

I'm talking about The Mermaid, who is oh-so-damn-persistent in insisting that she learn how to carry The Tadpole so that she can help with him, too.

And, let's face it. When you have a fussy baby, you're willing to take whatever help you can get.

I Got My Hands Chalky, Too.

Mommy, come look, we made the driveway colorful! Isn't it pretty?

I look at her, and yes, it is beautiful.

Then and Now

Two day old.

Two months old.

I fall in love with him more and more each day.

Then and Now

Life Is A Highway...

She loves to drive around the yard, and she is really good at it.

She sees me holding my camera, and stops to give me a thumbs up.

Sweet one, sometimes you drive me crazy. But I just can't get enough of you.

A Tale of Two Princesses

Playing in the (almost) life-sized castle their grandfather built for them.

I smile as I listen to them laugh and play...

and I wonder if they know what beautiful memories they are creating.

He's five weeks old now, and we fall in love with him more and more every day.

Snapshots of Our Fourth.

Beautiful seacoast on a sunny day.

He cried whenever we took him off the boat.

Family abound.

A happy grandma, cuddling with her grandson.

A beautiful summer sunset over the ocean.

Bright fireworks

bring a perfect ending

to the perfect day.

Green.

I try to teach the kids how to live with awareness and tread lightly. To love the Earth.



To be green.

If I Just Lay Here...

If I lay here...
If I just lay here...
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?*

First Bath

The Tadpole had his first bath. Surrounded by his loving family, he was unafraid and didn't cry.

When You Dream...

Don't you just want to snuggle down in the covers with him?

"With life just begun, my sleeping new song has eyes that roll back in his head. They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart and pictures a world past his bed. It's hard to believe As I watch you breathe, Your mind drifts and weaves..." -BNL
