Welcome Weekend
We all survived the weekend separation! Zoe had such a great time with her grandparents and aunts that she didn’t seem too happy to see us when we picked her up last night. She cried when we took her home. I was expecting a warmer reception, but such is life; I would rather have it […]

2 adults, 0 children
03.28.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsHere we go! Joel and I are off to the Welcome Weekend at UT Houston. I’m really looking forward to meeting my classmates and making plans for our move.

Getting back to normal
Our Chicago trip was extended by a day last week due to the bad weather in Dallas, and we came home Thursday. That night we returned to the airport to pick up Joel and my sweet sister who came in from Atlanta. We had such fun (as you may have noticed from the 200+ pictures […]

03.16.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsZoe has been saying things here and there, but today for the first time, she clearly said, “Hi!” I had gone to the couch at 4:30 AM to have a chance at sleep without being attacked for my milk, used as a pacifier, or clubbed in the face by Zoe’s fitful fists.

Pulling out my hair
03.10.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsExcept for about 80 minutes this afternoon, Zoe has been going strong ALL DAY LONG. She just now went to sleep. I’m not sure whether to blame teething or maternal anxiety or the utter chaos that is our life. All I know is that this child needs – we ALL need – a routine. Despite […]

Glorious Saturday and activities of daily life
When we are at home and Zoe takes a nap like today, I thank my lucky stars. I am getting so much done. After working three days straight, I have several housekeeping things to which I must tend, and having time when I don’t feel guilty about not spending it with Zoe is gold. Time […]

Fighting a craving
