…but I am buried under a mountain of dirty (cloth) diapers, toddler underwear, and nursing bras. It’s a soiled life I’m living. So, fun news: FINALLY SOLD OUR HOUSE! We are currently waiting on a closing date. Other fun news: WE BOUGHT ANOTHER HOUSE! Also currently waiting on … Continue reading
It’s Jez’s first day back to work and I must be doing alright because both kids are napping at the same time and I feel sane enough to sit and blog for a second. So – we got an offer on our house, today. How’s that for timing? We … Continue reading
I am wildly attempting to get a whole bunch of XHTML written for my website design class… but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to post a quick fam update! We were in the hospital until Thursday and it was a wonderful experience, as hospitals go! Our night nurse was … Continue reading

Ahhhh, 77 degrees and sunny… it does a frame-of-mind good! Vivo and I set out “early” this morning to take a walk over at Amie’s house. We took one last weekend with Jez, too, but it was our first solo walk of the season! Of course, me with my … Continue reading
