Even once we had Atticus, we never really got off the infertility roller coaster. In fact, we started trying for Baby #2 before Baby #1 even made it home from the hospital. Since Atti took eight years to conceive, we knew that time was not on our side. Oh how I laughed and laughed when […]

September 3, 2009
I’m sitting here typing this in the house all by myself. It’s so quiet I’m having trouble being productive. I have had two back to back all day marathons of doctors appointments*, so Atticus spent last night up at Grandma’s and then ended up getting stuck there when my Sister in Law started showing signs […]

I took the quickest picture ever before tearing into this package of fabric because I couldn’t resist the wrapping. It’s just simple as can be, but when the fabric I order online is usually wrapped in plastic bags, I found myself touched by the hand tied little bow. It’s very nearly a brown paper package […]

This picture blows the lid off of any pretense I may have cultivated that I actually maintain basic levels of personal hygiene, but I just couldn’t resist. Three day unwashed hair or not. Atti is such a fun and happy little guy, he’s the world’s easiest kid to entertain. Boop his nose and he’ll laugh […]

August 20, 2009
I suppose after all that talk before hand I should probably talk a little bit about how it went, right? Not to get too grandiose, but I really do think that last week was one of the most productive and inspiring weeks of my life. My panels went really really great. Other than wishing there […]

August 19, 2009
A couple of months ago I looked over from the computer and saw this: Atti had discovered this plastic bag I use for one of my crosstitch projects and had himself a ball crinkling the plastic and shaking the threads all around the floor. I nearly had a heart attack when I realized my immobile […]

As much fun as last week was, I’m thrilled to be home goofing around with these little characters.
