And I thought succumbing to pink was the end of the girly invasion. I give you the cutest thing ever: a leotard, tights, and tiny ballet shoes. Upside-down, of course. It wasn’t enough that the girly world suck me in. The equally jaded Uncle Austin was in town, and is now also under [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] My grandmother passed away in her sleep last night. It was both expected and sudden, and I had no idea what to do after receiving the news. Work and do yoga, as I normally do during Eva’s nap? I decided drinking coffee and looking at family photo albums would be better way to start grieving. [...] After a busy June, July, and August, it’s time to dust off the old blog and tell our summer tales. I’ve had a number of blog entries knocking around my brain, but no time to write them between Gymboree, toddler-chasing, and a sudden influx of business. But thanks to a recent huge storm (more on [...] I’ve been friends with Marissa since fourth grade – that’s twenty years as of right now. I can’t think very hard about that. We got pregnant around the same time – she was three months ahead of me – but since we’re both new moms, we haven’t been able to fly for months, and just [...] Sunday was a great day. Matt spent most of the day reading his school book, but how hard is that when studying looks like this? We spent time with Grandma and Grandpa (my parents) and Uncle Austin. Eva can only hope she inherited these eyes: Eva had a great time meeting her cousins. [...] By my calculations, Eva’s heritage is more than 50% southern, with roots ranging from North Carolina to Alabama. It is therefore fitting that her first trip was to Princeton, North Carolina last weekend for the annual Hartley reunion. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to traveling with a baby. The drive is [...] Just a few days after Gigi and GD left, my mother flew into town on a whim. My mother, you should note, is on her third visit since March – what a jet-setter! We had a great week going for walks, visiting friends and family, and sitting quietly with Eva. We braved the heat and [...] It’s been a busy month for our little family. During the first part of July, Eva met two more great-grandparents, Matt’s maternal grandparents. Great-grandparents on my side of the family – we’re working on plans to come see you. We had a great weekend visiting with the newly crowned Gigi (GG for Greatgrandma) and GD [...] |
