Extra Special Second Cup Today

18 Nov 2010

I usually have my morning coffee as soon as I can after I wake up.
On school mornings, that coffee is necessary, reliable and not very memorable.
When I get back from dropping O. at school, I usually have time to appreciate a second cup. Don’t tell anyone that I microwave it. (One day I’ll get a really great espresso machine – till then…)

This morning I opened the fridge to a surprise present from Sweet Kiera!
A chill is in the November air, the light is streaming through my southern exposure, and I am delaying my computer tasks in the quiet bliss of Lucy’s nap time.


hmmm. still just primer on my door.


hmmm. need to wash those windows.


hmmm. coconut and lemon. mmmmm.

Lucy’s First Birthday – Party Slideshow

08 Nov 2010

I’m very excited to share our party photos! Many thanks to Kiera for all her planning and baking – we had fun! Read about this on her blog too! – and to Kristi for sending love and supplies from afar. Also to Cole and Madie, for midnight sugar, the gorgeous cherry tree, and for giving Lucy something to eat. Best quote of the day came from Amanda, who grinned and shouted, “I want to live here!” What a compliment! And I can’t believe our little Lucy is One!!
