Wish I had a camera

Bella is so adorable right now. She napping on the quilt at my feet as I sit in the rocker. She’s rolled over on one side with an arm thrown over her eyes.  Every once in a while she wakes up a bit, rolls around with arms and legs flying...

First, this beautiful belated wedding present.

For my birthday my loving parents gave me a couple of gift certificates. They know me so well. One was for Amazon….books!!! The other was for our favorite sushi restaurant, Asahi. We’d been there a couple of times while I was pregnant...

tag, you’re it

I’ve been tagged by Julie D., the HappyCatholic. This is the first time I’ve been tagged before Dom. Some kind of blogging milestone? I find this kind of Q&A about books torturesome: You want me to pick one? But here goes: 1. One...

birthday blessings

So Wednesday was my 32nd birthday. To celebrate and to beat the heat we escaped to Maine and spent a few days with Dom’s mother and sister. We arrived Tuesday night and, since it was too hot to cook, had a nice green salad for dinner with mum...
