I love being home with my little guy. But sometimes I have to work long hours (see: tech week), and Hubs gets to stay home with him. This past week, as I was mounting GREASE onto the Atlanta Lyric Theatre stage, Hubs stayed home with the little man and played and watched a movie. At the end of … [Read more...]

Mommy & Me (the Doo) Monday
I figured since I'm on a bit of a Dooley streak, it might as well be him that gets featured in Mommy and Me Monday this time around :)Doo makes it really hard to get up in the morning when he's snuggled up next to your face/butt/back/stomach/knee. But then pancakes called. Even Red got some … [Read more...]
Dooley goes for his checkup
Dooley was Hubs' and my first baby. He's four years old now, and still a cherished part of the family. We tease that he is one of our children, just like Red. This big lug goes for a checkup once a year to get all his shots, and he doesn't mind it for the most part. (He … [Read more...]
Red’s Silver Baby Cup, & Origins of Silver Keepsakes

They run about $8 for a pizza so large it barely fits in our standard size oven. Hubs is a … [Read more...]
Where did all the Pacis go?
Everynight, I make a little pile of pacifiers in Red's crib. As the night goes along, he loses one in sleep, moves around and reaches for his pile until he finds another one. The pile starts out at least 4 deep. And then ends like this: It gets to the point at the end of the … [Read more...]
Red feeds his Mama
During lunch last week, Red decided that he wanted to share his chicken. With me. It's true what "they" say about kids. Your own little being isn't as gross as other ones. I will gladly let Red smush chicken into his own face, reach down for another little piece and let him try to "share … [Read more...]
The Grassy Knoll
We're trying to get Red used to the grass outside. Taking his shoes and socks off and letting his wriggle around in the grass is pretty funny. He's loved being outside since he was born, as many babies do. Our trips outside will quiet the noisiest fussing, silence the … [Read more...]
