7 Weeks ago (1/30) Christopher learned to crawl and this weekend (3/22) he walked (pushing a toy bin) all the way across the living room. It feels like he went from crawling, to creeping, to attempting to walk and climb almost overnight–like the light-bulb came on and he realized there are more dimensions to the world that he’d like to explore.

On your 3rd Birthday William-Bear
Dear William, You’re another year older! 3 whole years! Such a big man and a little boy all wrapped into one. People say you talk like a 4 year old, and I tend to agree. Such a well-spoken little gentleman most of the time. Why you still don’t enjoy baths is a mystery to me, since you keep asking every… Read more →
Motherhood musings…
Confession: Some days I miss my single/dating days with my little one bedroom apartment and lots of free/quiet time. Jason would bring his laundry and spend the weekend and we’d sleep in, or go hiking, or do dinner, or whatever else we wanted to do. Sometimes mom life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It seems easy to find… Read more →

Goodbye Summer…
We had one of the nicest summer/falls that I’ve witnessed in my 9 years in Utah, and I feel that it is finally over. Just last week we had temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s, even setting some record highs, but this week the high temperatures will not make it out of the 40’s (with some overnight lows in the… Read more →
Apologies World
You learn something new every day. Some days you learn more than a few things. Apologies world, today I learned it is possible I’ve been using this made-up word for an indeterminate part of my adult life: ‘assertation’ I now know this because spell-check told me so. Apparently assertion is a word, and ascertain is a word and ‘assertation’ is something that… Read more →
