This weekend was full of family events, including Saturday’s birthday party for Sofia (wow, a troop of 5-year old girls can make some noise!, happy noise, of course), Kris’ mom out for the weekend, planting, a baseball game and a hike today up Mount Uncanoonuc.  The kids were abed early, and I’m not far behind [...]

I’ve been bad at keeping up on the blog lately, and my mom called me out on it during our Mother’s Day call on Sunday. So here, with the kids abed a few minutes yet before I head there myself, I’m taking a moment to post a cute family blog post from a recent vacation [...]

Since Kris is now napping on the couch in front of the wood stove, I get to write the first blog post about her first half marathon (though I won’t steal her fire by retelling too many of the stories – just wanted to post some of these pictures).  She finished the 13.1 miles of [...]

Help Im flod. I know how this creation of Sofia's (as captioned by David at her request) feels… I am too. Help! Then again, who isn't? On a different note, I love that David has taken to writing captions to express his creatures' (and sometimes Sofia's creatures as well!) thoughts. They are both storytellers in [...]

Trick-or-treating with the kids on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, Oct. 26, 2008. If our kids were older, maybe it would be a bummer to have trick-or-treat on a different day than Halloween, and to have it in the daytime, but our kids are all young enough so that the decorations (some professional haunted house quality [...]

  We used to visit Beech Hill Farm in Hopkinton all the time when we lived in Concord (David was little then, and Sofia just a baby!).  Now we still try and get up there once or twice a year.  It's a great vibe for a fall, day especially because even though it's always busy [...]

I wish I had taken a picture of David helping stack wood today.  Two cords in the rain. Wet, dirty work, and him in a long sleeve T-shirt, soaked and stained in the front from toting wood, a soggy black cap on his head, a big grin on his face as he selected the "just [...]
