January 2008 Ode to my ridiculousness.
February 2008 Imagine a time when I was mad that my stomach was flat.
March 2008 If only it hadn’t hit my butt eventually.
April 2008 John! This was it!  The thing you said you’d only do for me 3 times in life, so I had to use them sparingly!  Sigh.  That [...]

Christmastime with a Little Baby Boy

Before I gave birth I gave the actual birth/babyhood of Jesus only a cursory thought.  It happened.  He was born, he was a baby.  Mary was his mother.  This Christmas it’s very different for me.  As I listen to the hymns and contemplate Mary riding a donkey into Bethlehem I think about how I could [...]

Not Wigged out in the Least

The Thanksgiving Holiday was a good one.  My Mom-in-law thought that I might have been wigged out by the reservation, and I was thinking I might be, to be honest.  We didn’t experience any pan handling or get chased by any stray rez dogs (even though there was a beautiful blue boxer mix that I [...]

We’re home!  We spent Thanksgiving in Many Farms, AZ with John’s parents.  They are serving a mission on the Navejo reservation and we brought our Camper down to get tons of cuddles from Grandma and Grandpa and eat lots o’ food.  Well, bottles, anyway.  It was a really good visit, and I’ll update more on [...]

And the Swaddle Continues

I think we’re learning how to “embrace” Camper’s sleeping schedule.  A friend of mine told me that she gives her baby boy warm bottles at night, as opposed to room temperature, and that it helps him sleep longer.  I was reluctant to try warming bottles because I was afraid that Camper wouldn’t take the lukewarm [...]

Happy Halloween!
My owl baby is sleeping, a pretty long nap if you ask me.  (Watch, I’ll jinx it.)  For pictures of Camper in his costume head on over to codenamecamper.com.  If you haven’t signed up yet feel free!  So today was the TA DA 6 week appointment.  For me.  At the OBGYN.  I had a [...]

Camper’s going to be an owl for Halloween!!  So far this is all I’ve got…

This is what I’m going for…the hat anyway…except a newborn version.

I don’t like the body…and I’m going to make him a snowy owl (so he’ll be all white) but you can get the general idea.  I’m thinking a long-sleeved onesie, some [...]

Pizza and Monsters and Birthdays

Doesn’t anybody sell pizza by the slice out here? Seriously. After leaving work tonight I had to run a couple of errands and the traffic was horrible. I keep thinking about the pizza we had yesterday, and wanted some more. To safe myself the horror of getting an entire pizza, I [...]

Ring, Happy Bells, Across the Snow

It’s 2008. Last night John and I went on only one, small, excursion to find a book that I felt I DESPERATELY needed. I’ve been avoiding reading the Twilight series- mostly because it was so popular, but I finally got curious enough to read through the first one, and loved it. I [...]

A Wee Summary

Christmas has come and gone. I can’t believe it’s over for a whole year! A few days ago John looked at me and said, “This is your time of year, isn’t it?” I guess it is. I love the decorations, I love the presents, and I LOVE surprises. Even though [...]
