New Pictures! (and life musings)

Posted in babies, family, mothers, parenting, personal, pictures, sons on April 23, 2012 | 2 Comments »

During my aunt’s visit from California two weeks ago, we had a last-minute photo shoot for some Mother’s Day pictures (it wasn’t last minute for my aunt who planned in advance to hire the fabulous Karen for a photo session, but the addition of me and my crew was last-minute). I’m currently at the end [...]

Step out onto the Planet Draw a circle a hundred feet round Inside the circle are 300 things nobody understands, and, maybe nobody’s ever really seen. How many can you find? –Lew Welch I’ve almost finished reading the book Earth Prayers and the above is one of my favorites from the book. It was actually the [...]

Yarn Goddess

Posted in birth art, family, mothers, Neat stuff, personal, pictures on January 5, 2012 | 3 Comments »

I made sweeping promises about all of the fabulous posts I was going to write over my break and apparently I only had ONE in me. I find a good blog post really takes a minimum of three hours to write and that is after having the idea, taking notes, collecting links, etc. Someday I [...]

So many blog topics and ideas and yet so many papers to grade! (Expect a flurry of extremely awesome posts from me during my break that starts Sunday.) Just a picture post then to show my two most recent experiments in polymer clay birth goddess pendant making. This little one is my tiniest effort. She [...]

Ten Months Old!

Posted in babies, family, mothers, pictures on November 19, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Today marks ten months of baby girlness in our home! I’m so glad she’s here! Quickie update in developments this month: she has seven teeth now! She cruises around furniture with impunity. She pinches your arms and then scream-squeals to demonstrate her empathy for your pain. She ate a gemstone, but it was recovered when [...]

New Pictures!

Posted in family, mothers, off topic, personal, pictures on November 11, 2011 | 1 Comment »

I took Alaina for a 9 month photo shoot with my friend Karen (of Portraits and Paws Photography) who also took my pregnancy photos. I really have fun getting high quality pictures that capture what our lives are like. She is able to catch expression, details, and feeling in a way that I can’t usually [...]

Eightmonthababy!

Posted in babies, family, mothers, personal, pictures, postpartum, self-care, women on September 26, 2011 | 5 Comments »

I don’t know if it simply because we’ve said she is the last baby, or, because she is such an awesome baby, or what, but Alaina makes me want to never not have a baby. Maybe I have a different perspective this time around because my oldest is now 8, so I can see right [...]

Eight is Great!

Posted in babies, family, mothers, personal, pictures on September 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »

Eight years ago today, I became a mother for the first time when I gave birth to a magical baby boy. Born at sunrise on a Saturday morning, he surprised us all by weighing over 8 pounds and by crying when only his head was born! He had lots of dark hair and a tan [...]

Take Pictures

Posted in babies, pictures, poems on August 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve been thinking of one of my favorite poems today. Published some time ago in Mothering Magazine, it is called “Take Pictures” and is a poignant look at how fast it all goes.  The end gets me in my heart every time I read it: “Holding tight to my neck, my son trusts – he [...]
