Two little Sophie stories I don't want to forget. Sophie was in the bath the other night, playing with her letters and empty plastic bottles. Aaron and I were in the office across the hall talking. Aaron says: "Sophie, are...sophie says...elffle2009-12-22T12:47:08-05:0028 Weeks!

Technically 29 weeks - so I'm officially in my third trimester. I've taken photos of the belly, but our mirror needs cleaning so I haven't been uploading them. I haven't been writing about this pregnancy much, other than to announce...news from the homefrontelffle2009-12-18T10:16:43-05:00Oh, the patience

First snow day of the season yesterday. We all stayed home and baked 5 different types of cookies that will be sent far away. There were toys strewn everywhere and it was, all in all, a very good day. One...sophie says...elffle2009-12-10T10:40:11-05:00Happy Birthday Sophie!

Well, where were we? It's now August and really, really hot outside. Very humid, very muggy. When I go outside around noon, the air seems wavy with the heat. It's like hitting a wall. It's also making it hard to...news from the homefrontelffle2009-08-18T09:09:24-05:00Whatsa happening?

Well, it's been a while. I was sucked into a FB-hole and am just now coming up for air. Such a time suck. Also, things have been steadily and consistently foggish around here. And by "here", I mean "in my...news from the homefrontelffle2009-06-29T16:05:08-05:00The Limitations of Magic

Sophie received a new magic fairy wand for Easter. I picked her up at daycare the other day and her "teacher" reminded Sophie on our way out the door that she brought the wand with her. "I turned people into...sophie says...elffle2009-04-21T18:41:13-05:00Accomplishment!

Now that it's warming up outside and Sophie's room is less frigid, we've made the move toward transitioning her to her own bed. I came up with the idea of having her earn a "fancy" marble for each night she...news from the homefrontelffle2009-04-02T19:55:33-05:00A girl named Quincy

I've mentioned Sophie's Ariel princess dress* before. She's very into dress-up right now. Dresses, the princess dress*, the princess heels, my necklaces, my rings, the princess purse, and, her new favorite: Mrs. Potato Head earrings.

I had the most disturbing dream last night. I was getting plastic surgery on my face. And the (very young) doctor was cutting by my left ear and sort of yanking and tugging my skin up. I was conscious for...news from the homefrontelffle2009-03-17T21:37:42-05:00Here, hold this
