Note: There’s something wrong with the spacing around punctuation in the post. We must be due for a redesign.
While Eva was eating breakfast yesterday I asked, “Eva would you like to visit a farm today?” She nodded thoughtfully, and continued to eat her oatmeal.
I thought I hadn’t made much of an impact, but [...]
Run out of pita chips? No problem! Hijack a nearby ladle and carry on with your eating.
This is a girl who likes her hummus:
PS - Do you like her first haircut?
You know that place on the map where the squiggly street lines give way to blank space? That’s where we live now. The last housing tract right before a bunch of farmland. Things have been quiet around here (except in the photo gallery) as we settled into our new house. Here are a few things [...]
Today is Eva’s birthday. We’d like to introduce you to our two-year-old:
Can you guess what her favorite book is right now?
Today is also the last day in our Alexandria house, and I spent a great deal of time trying to decide what do today. Which special activity would make Eva happiest?

Last February I bought Eva a sketch pad and a box of crayons. Our new activity (she calls it “Kay-ons!”) was an immediate hit, especially when we added stickers to the mix.
While we played, Eva did not do much actual drawing, but we managed to fill up the sketch pad with drawings from family [...]

Eva’s latest favorite book is The Cat in the Hat. Or as she likes to call it, “Meeeeoooow. Hat-tah.” Apparently love of The Cat is contagious – here I am reading it to Eva, three of her second cousins, and my mother:
According to my quick Wikipedia research (forgive me, I’m tired), The Cat [...]
You would think there would be a story behind this much laughing, but it was just a giggly kind of day. Please enjoy three minutes of Eva losing her mind.
Have you ever wondered what life looks like from a mother’s perspective?
As I put up a picture from storytime captioned “Mom’s-eye view,” I thought, “I think I have a few pictures now with this very caption.” I ran a search in our photo gallery, and found five pictures. So here you go – this [...]
