It Begins…

Asher had his first “solid” meal this morning!  (Please note the excellent bowl that he ate out of…this is one of a set that my stepmom Ruth brought back from Japan for us.)  To say that Asher was an enthusiastic first time eater is a bit of understatement.  He was seriously jazzed with the whole [...]

Pictures into Words…

I’ve been hunting around for good writing prompts lately which has prompted me to look at a lot of photographs around the web and in our library. I’m loosely framing something together relating to ‘remains’…as in, what remains, lingering, physical remains, legacies…it’s all kind of floating around in my mind. In thinking about [...]

home.

We are back from a really excellent trip to our southern home! The picture above was snapped on the plane as we were being bathed in the gorgeous red sky sunset light that welcomed us back to Virginia yesterday evening, and it sums up nicely the peace that we felt as we touched down. [...]

Leavin’ on a jet plane…

Ahhhh, the good ‘ol days:

This is a picture of Drew blissfully sleeping away the hours that are needed to fly to Baton Rouge.  I took this picture last year, unaware that there was a baby just beginning to take hold in my belly.  Tomorrow we are making this same flight again, only this time instead [...]

puzzle pictures.

According to Robert Motherwell, collage is “the twentieth century’s greatest innovation”.  This is a pretty bold statement from a man who saw the creation of everything from the car to the copy machine in his lifetime, and I can think of a long list of things that I might rank a little higher on my [...]

Sundaaaaaaaaaay.

The baby is napping, Drew is working, and I am “cleaning” (read: poking around on the internet and putting up a blog post. I couldn’t risk vacuuming and waking the baby, now could I?)
We dug out from another snow storm yesterday, although this time it was only around 10 inches which, compared to the [...]

Can you hear me now?

So Asher has been quite the babbler throughout his long life. However, about two weeks ago, he decided that babbling was for babies and that real men screetch. I mean, really screeeetch. Gone are the days of the quiet, inquisitive babbling…the upper register of this kid’s voice has arrived! Here’s a [...]

Photo Essay

I have been sparing you my usual long-winded ramblings because it seems that there haven’t been enough hours in the day.  Briefly, I will say that we’re doing great, ready to take on 2010 with vigor and zeal.  Here’s a quick glimpse of life since the great snow WOW of 2009:
So that’s the quick run [...]

ok, babies in sweaters are pretty cute.

We’ve had a quiet weekend…Drew’s been working and I’ve been going about the business of life with a 12 week old.  12 whole weeks (though interestingly, he won’t be 3 months until Friday?) of life with this child…can you believe that that little guy up there was inside of my body 13 weeks ago?  I [...]
