• Rainbow Cookie Monster

    At the store this week I grabbed some Keebler Rainbow Chip cookies… we used to get them all the time when we lived in Nashua and mmm, they were SO good. The actual best ones were the mini ones that come in the little bags, but the big ones were still devoured mercilessly. I thought…

  • Get Better, Gramps

    We had a big scare this week, unfortunately. Gramps (my dad’s father), had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance because he couldn’t breath… and it turned out to be a heart attack (congestive heart failure). He and Zsa Zsa are down in Florida, and they were *just* about to get on a…

  • Summer Love is a Strawberry Shortcake

    Turns out I *did* take pictures of Arin and his strawberry shortcake adventure. Gotta love that whipped cream beard! Om Nom Nummy! Arin is *super* serious when it comes to eating, he always puts on his battle face. Strawberry shortcake = conquered.

  • Time Rushing By

    Lately I’ve been looking at Arin and I can’t fathom how he got SO big so fast. I look through old pictures of him as a chubby little bunny and wonder where that went… when did my tiny baby sneak off and grow into a little boy? And why didn’t he ask my permission first??…

  • Spike, Part Deux

    Here are the pictures from the other time Arin asked me to ‘piiike’ his hair. It seems right now his hair got super long again overnight… one day it was sticking up and short, and the next it was flattened down and long. Crazy. I’m hoping to find some clippers and give him a military-style…

  • Bobotron and the Ride-Along Truck

    I love how bright and colorful his shirt is, it matches the truck! We have been keeping this on the porch, so he only gets to play with it when he is able to get out there and then he drags it into the kitchen. It makes a ton of noise you turn the key,…

  • Mommy’s Time-Consuming Project

    Sorry I haven’t been updating in the past week and a half – I’ve been quite busy finishing up a project of mine. I am quite proud of it, even though it’s not really all that exciting… it’s more of the accomplishment of getting something finished! Well, there it is… my novel! The cover anyway.…

  • ‘Mommy Spike My Hair Please!’

    Well, he doesn’t quite express himself in full sentences or say please yet, but the other day Arin asked me to spike his hair! It was so cute. He was under the impression that you use moisturizer to style your hair… so finally after months of wrestling the lotion away from him every time he…

  • Strawberry Season

    Summer time means lots of fresh strawberries! Bobo loves berries, and all winter long has been faithfully chomping on frozen raspberries. Now he is definitely enjoying these, as you can see. Also, I don’t have any pictures of it… but Arin is already a HUGE fan of strawberry shortcake… yum!

  • Dandelion Chomper

    This year, we have about 6 million dandelions gracing our backyard. Arin loves them when they turn to puffers, he picks little bouquets of them and waves them in the wind so the little seeds fly and spread to even more of our lawn. The first time he encountered them though… he didn’t quite get…
