Easter progression

Easter is a fun holiday at which to measure Abby’s growth and development from year to year. It’s usually right after her birthday, and I can usually fire off a few pictures before she gets covered in chocolate.

On Abby’s first Easter, she was just about a month plus a week old. She was [...]

Such a big girl

It’s Abby’s first day of school again. She was in our room at 5:45 because she was so excited. Being a good girl, she silently climbed in bed between us and lay there quietly (if not restfully) until 6:00 at which point she stage-whispered “Daddy, get up. It’s time for school.”

Breakfast commenced and [...]

Well, last week we had not one but TWO snow days around here as we had our own version of the Snowpocalypse. And I even remembered to take photos this time. And not delete them! [...]

Birthday Recap - so how DID that castle cake come out?

Answer: pretty kick-ass!

We worked on the castle cake Friday night to make sure it was finished. (We meaning that I did the work, while Emily applauded and Jonathan offered suggestions and broke some of the ice cream cone turrets.)

This is the fondant Princess who lives in the castle.

The look [...]

Snow Day

Yes, this is the obligatory snowy day post. It snowed. In fact, it’s still snowing. One of my friends says the radar looks like a winter hurricane. Whoopie.

Abby’s school was canceled before she got in the car last night. Brian emailed to say he’d be working from home before we went to bed. [...]
