I’m trying to be better at getting Bella outside for a little bit each day to get some fresh air and reduce cabin fever. A few anecdotes from today’s adventures. . . . I was nursing Sophia down for her nap in the bedroom, Bella was out...
The other night Dom took this video as we were getting Isabella ready for bed. A typical evening in our 21st century household with us talking about blogging and a variety of other topics as I braid Isabella’s hair. A little behind the scenes...
Since the beginning of this pregnancy I’ve had this recurring dream. I’ve had it at least half a dozen times. It’s never really the same dream; but the theme, the problem, the emotion at the heart of the dream is always the same...

Today the Bookworm has a post up about her little Cherub’s play time. Cherub is just about the same age as Bella and I love comparing the two of them. It is interesting to me how similar their play times are. Bella is doing lots of imaginary...
