Okay, so it’s really not Anna’s first day of actual school, but it’s a school-like activity…
Today was Anna’s first day of pre-pre-school! This summer I signed her up for a class called “Two Times the Fun” for 2-3 year olds. Anna attends on Wednesdays for an hour and the class description clearly states, “Parents do [...]
Many times a day I refer to my beloved Anna as “The Empress”. Part of the um, “joy” of her being two is a very “I am the boss” attitude. On a moment’s notice Anna will decide that I’m doing something she doesn’t like and feel the need to order me around. Phrases such as, [...]
This is Henry:
His full name is Henry Thomas, and like Anna he is named after people in our families. I have a Great-Great-Great Grandfather named Henry who brought his family to Denver from England in 1880’s. He was a shoemaker and had a store in downtown Denver that sold shoes, mostly to the miners. My [...]
If you’ve been wondering where I have been well, mostly lost in the chaos of two kids – a two-year old and a newborn are the handful I expected them to be.
I used to have spare moments during the day, a moment to prepare dinner, a moment to nap, a moment to blog, etc. and [...]
As with all good stories, the story of Henry’s birth begins with a chocolate cake.
Last Friday we had a pretty decent snow storm and our lovely neighbor Darrel shoved our walk (all the way up our front stairs too), as he has kindly done all winter. In appreciation for his hard work I decided I [...]
The latest addition to our family arrived this morning at 4:09 a.m. I am too tired to review all of the gory details, but I do have a picture of him and his favorite activity so far (sleeping):
Henry Thomas Munhall weighed in at 6 lbs 7 oz. and is 19 inches long. He is in [...]
Did the pregnant woman go to the grocery store yesterday?
Why yes, yes she did – as evidenced by the items above. They were on sale darn it! You got a problem with that?
Here we are at the beginning of the 37th week of my pregnancy. That means at most I have 3 more weeks until my son enters the world.
12 days. 12 wonderful days – that’s how many consecutive days since the beginning of December I have not been sick. Otherwise I have been battling a cold [...]
As many of you know, I loathe baby showers. I am simply not of the personality of people who likes to sit around playing what I consider either silly games (or the nasty – “Guess How Big Around She Is” game). And I have no desire to watch other people open presents or have others [...]
First, as a matter of explanation, some friends and I have started a sort of “blog circle”. We all decided we needed to blog more, are sometimes bereft of blog topics, and could use a little help from our friends thinking of things to blog about. For me, I could, much to the joy of [...]
