Life is happening so fast right now. It seems we just had Oliver’s birthday and now it’s time to celebrate Aidan’s third year. Wow, how time flies! We snuck back down to Louisiana this year to celebrate with family. While we were there, we took the boys to their first ever Mardi Gras parade and [...]
“Look at all my babies!”
I couldn’t resist getting a quick shot of Aidan’s work. The only baby I see is the one he is in the process of covering up with the silk. All the same, the quoted phrase above is what he said, quite proudly, to [...]
I’ll admit it. Growing up my main fruits were oranges, apples, bananas, watermelon, strawberries, grapes, bananas – you know the lot, nothing overly exotic or outside of what you would see in an average children’s book about common fruits.

We’ve also [...]

Alma, Calvin, Katherine, Aidan
(not pictured: me wearing Oliver while taking this photo;)
This morning I called Alma up and had her come over with her little ones to have breakfast with us. I [...]
Whew! We had quite the busy day today. I don’t think I have the energy left to say too much in words, but here’s the jest of it in a pictoral:
We started off at our local waldorf school to celebrate May Day. We made flower wreaths (which Aidan wouldn’t wear, but I did) and danced [...]
Welcome Spring!
Today I hosted an outing at Bayou Bend with the babywearers group. It was interesting how different it was this year compared to last. Last year, I got to tour all of the grounds and take my time meandering and chatting with friends. This year, even with my husband’s help, [...]
