Vaccination Against Reason

I probably shouldn’t write about this. Vaccination is a dangerous topic. I can’t tell you exactly why this is a dangerous topic. I cannot explain why it is that the topic of vaccination is yet another arena in which the public at large would like to wage their wars, but there it is. I’ve talked [...]

Short

Today has been a crazy day (brain occupied with many other to-do’s), so this post is going to be pretty short. And it is going to feature the cutest photo of my daughter that has ever been taken. Here it is:

Potty Training Week #2
Patience level, Mommy: Surprisingly High
The first time we tried to potty train June, it was a complete disaster. It was July 4th weekend and we had decided to give the three day potty training a try. Three days with nothing but you and your naked toddler inside the walls of your home, [...]

Your Second Birthday

Dear June,
Tomorrow (or today, when I finally post this) is your second birthday. You were born at 10:34 two years ago after six hours (relatively few) of labor.

Bigger

Our little almost-two-year old amazes me every day. She is 36.5 inches tall, 32 pounds and can say things like:

Driftin’ Away

It has been so long since I’ve written here, I almost forgot this blog existed.
No, that’s not really true. It’s just been a crazy couple of weeks in our household. June is growing leaps and bounds and Fred and I can barely keep up. She is talking so much now, I’m blown away by the [...]

Junebug

I was just going through the files on my computer, cleaning out the unneccessary items, and came across June’s ultrasound photos. It occurred to me that we had never put those photos on this blog, and since this is written in part as an archive for June, I wanted to put them here so she [...]
