My Blog in Review 2008

via The Bookworm Post the first sentence of your first blog post of each month. You can also add a favorite picture from each month. January Dom posted this question on his blog and it’s been bugging me too, so I’m reposting it here...

Trust

Bella is rolling on her towel on the living room floor, clad in only a diaper, while my sister rubs lotion on her dry skin. She’s shivering and chattering her teeth.  “Are you cold, my Bell?” I ask. “Auntie Treese will...

It’s a Snap

Sophia has learned how to snap her fingers. It may be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. And she is so pleased with herself, laughing and laughing. Though it may also be that she’s pleased with our reactions. She quite surprised my sister...

The Pooh Corner Chorus

The other morning I walked into Bella’s room and was greeted by the sight of a bunch of her stuffed animals all perched on her bed with books propped open in front of them. Probably not a coincidence that they were all Pooh characters: Pooh...

Truth in Advertising

My little chatterbox is at least refreshingly self-aware. Last night at dinner she was going with her usual non-stop commentary that included exclamations over the advent wreath, the Christmas tree Dom brought home this evening and a recitation of...

Fa La La La La La La La La

Yes! Dom went and got a tree tonight after work. And then we discovered it was too big to fit into our old tree stand so he had to go back out and visit three different stores to find a new stand. And then had to come home and cook dinner because I...

Sweet Sophia

Dom’s been busy pulling all the videos off my camera and uploading them for me. For some reason my computer wasn’t recognizing them. Oh yeah, it might have been an overly full hard drive. Which is now not so full thanks to the thorough...
