Liam’s Hand Surgery

A lot of people are asking about it, so I thought maybe I should just get it written down in one spot so I stop having to repeat myself. Liam’s hand surgery has been scheduled for April 28 at Children’s Hospital Boston. We were accepted to stay at the Yawkey Family Inn, a sort of [...]

The Sunday Nap Conundrum

Shauna and I are normally very excited to have 11AM church. It gives you just enough time to sleep in and be lazy in the morning without spending all day waiting until it’s time to go. When we got the switch this year, we thought it would be a good thing. There’s just one problem: [...]

Beantown or bust

Well, folks, it looks like we’re going to be going to Boston after all. I got a call from the hand surgeon at Children’s Hospital Boston yesterday. It was so nice to talk to someone who seems to know what they’re talking about and yet, doesn’t act like they know everything. Basically, he told me [...]

Roll Your Own Baby Food

We’ve been kind of lazy parents. When it came time to get Liam started on solids, we reached for the Gerber instead of the Vitamix. It’s pretty easy to get caught up in the convenience, but homemade baby food isn’t all that tough to figure out. This isn’t to say we haven’t had our misses. [...]

Liam’s Macrodactyly

So I mentioned the appointment with Liam’s surgeon the other day, but it occurs to me that I’ve never really talked about Liam’s hand on this blog before. And I know that when we got Liam’s diagnosis, I would have LOVED to find a blog or something about macrodactyly. There just really isn’t that much [...]

Because I’ve been doing so well at the weekly blogging

It turns out that it’s that blogging month thing. You know… where you’re supposed to blog once a day for the whole month? I’m not making any promises or anything, but I thought it’d be cool to at least give it a try. Of course, I remembered that I needed to blog today RIGHT as [...]

I can now wax the crap out of your eyebrows.

Started school last week, peeps. Because I’m a COMPLETE dork that way, I even had Jesse take a picture on the first day of school:

I tried to have an interesting life for a week and lived to tell about it

See? Weekly blogging.
‘Twas a good week. Both in terms of sticking to my aforementioned new goals AND in general. Amazing how that sort of goes together, eh?
I reconnected the CRAP out of people. I went from basically not communicating with a single soul besides my 8-month-old and my husband to going out with a friend [...]

The Banana Puke Incident

Anyone who knows Shauna knows that she hates bananas. I don’t mean in the “yuck” sense, but rather in the “fiery hot passion of a thousand suns” sense. We’re not allowed to have bananas in the house because the smell alone makes her gag. It’s so bad that someone once got onto an elevator eating [...]
