Celebrations

We have a lot to celebrate in our household in the upcoming month and there is a lot of preparation involved and I am feeling a lot overwhelmed. At any rate, Baby Magoo is set to have his baptism. I am so proud of him and am really looking forward to his special day. I [...]

My Little Magoo

Now that it is night and things have settled and the house is quite, it gives me a moment’s peace to reflect…and so I began to think about my day with Little Magoo. He amazes me. He amazes me in every single way. Although he is still not talking in full sentences, he has been [...]

Come in Mrs. Magoo, Are You There?

The past few days here in New England have been sweltering – summer sweltering heat in the 90′s, in MAY. Unreal.

The Latest Olympic Sport

There is a new Olympic Sport at my house. The fine art of the Laundry Toss. How does it work? Take baskets of fresh, clean laundry… …and throw. I give him a 5.8 – he needs to work on the height of the toss a bit. At least he helped pick up.

Spring Has Sprung

The flowers are blooming. Even the tiniest plant is pushing through the leaves from last year. Bees are buzzing… and pollinating… …and battling each other. And walks around the yard in the late afternoon with Daddy… …looking at all that the world has to offer.

Happy Easter

This is how our Easter photo shoot went. I laugh at this picture every time I see it… It wasn’t all a total waste though. I got to experience a beautiful day outside with my two beautiful boys, sunny and in te 70′s. Unusual for New England, but I’ll take it. The fresh air tuckered [...]
