It’s that time of year again – last Saturday, Matt, Eva, and I attended the 2009 National Book Festival. I have to say it was a much better experience this year. What you didn’t read in last year’s blog entry was that I was still in the midst of morning sickness (which should be called [...] 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 count, she [...] We flew out to the LA area Labor Day weekend. It was Eva’s first trip and the first step toward our goal of having a travel baby. I think it went well – Eva hardly cried on the first flight, and didn’t cry at all on our return. She had a meltdown or two on [...] I must be tired. I cannot think of a remotely clever title for this post. I already posted a warning about our August gallery, so here are the highlights for those that aren’t brave enough to face all 75 photos. This photo was taken at the beginning of the month, but that’s still about as well [...] 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 normally [...] 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 walked to [...] 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 (for [...] We blogged about this a few years ago, but we live three houses away from a great spot to watch the D.C. fireworks. From this spot you can easily see the tip of the Monument, as well as the Capitol (if you know where to look). This year we paused Ghostbusters (which I’d never seen [...] A month is a long time when you’re learning something new every day. A statement that applies to Mommy, Daddy, and baby. Aside from finding mirrors, here are a few more highlights from the last month. There is much more (with captions!) in our June photo gallery. We’ll be starting a July gallery soon. We learned [...] |
