10 Months Old

Dear Zoë,
You are now 10-months-old.  I can hardly believe how much you have changed and how each day you grow more and more.  You are now crawling.  I know.  I can’t believe it.  It is not a graceful girlie crawl.  No you are doing a full on military army commando crawl and it is hilarious.  [...]

He’s A Big Boy Now

I just returned home from dropping Noah at his first day of Mom’s Day Out.  He’ll go on Monday’s and Thursday’s from 9am-1pm.  I know.  That’s what I am thinking…4 whole hours with only a baby who will sleep for at least an hour or so of that.  I know…even better.  Noah will nap for [...]

I Should Not Be Allowed To Navigate–Ever

Well almost never.  Sometimes I do an OK job, other times it’s quite comical.  This weekend provided two examples of my poor navigational skills.  I have no sense of direction and never really have.  This is not new and I am quite use to not exactly knowing where I am or where I am going [...]

Let The Games Begin

One Size–Many Problems

So here I am back in academic/teacher mode.  I am not teaching this semester but I am studenting this semester and every semester for the next 5-6 years as I complete (or attempt to complete) my PhD.  I am taking a secondary curriculum course–where we will examine curriculums and learn what makes a good one.  [...]

How Much Is Too Much

Thanks for all your kind words about my photog business.  It has been in the making for a long time and I am happy to finally have it be “official.”  I certainly won’t get rich-as my availability is quite limited–as I have two kids, go to school, serve on the board of a non-profit, am [...]

Hard At Work

Check out what I did today.
Back tomorrow with a “real” post.
