Gen X is dead

The phone rings.  I can tell by the look on Charley’s face that it can only mean one thing.  Survey.  Oh, and hold on tight!  It’s a radio station survey.  Could he be any luckier?  I’m ready to kick the phone out of his hand when I see the smile start to fade from his face.  He’s not a male between the ages of 18 and 34.  Apparently at 35 we are no longer cool enough to give our opinions on music.  Suck it clear channel.

Summer Bummer


It was only a matter of time.  In fact, it’s a miracle it’s taken this long.  Our resident Super Hero is laid up with a broken leg.  Axel took a fall off a zip line in our neighbor’s yard and now he’ll be in a non-walking cast for 6 weeks.  That is all but two weeks of our summer break.  No swimming. No camping.  Not a whole lot of anything.  I’ve hired Spencer to build us some wheelchair ramps and a contraption that can link together a wheelchair and a double stroller.  I’m sure he’ll get right on that after he’s done flying thru the house in his brother’s wheelchair.

a little break for greater things

I’m taking a bit of break to devote myself to my new venture, Will Play for Food.  I’m So excited about it and as soon as I have a legitimate website, I’ll post a link.  Those of you who have listened to my dream and offered advise, THANK YOU!  I think this is going to be great.  

We have been busy living and I’ll try and do a re-cap of our last month.  Spencer was in an Art show.  Piper and Tuesday are full of new tricks and Axel continues to be the greatest kid in the world.  Thanks for checking in.  :)

1 REALLY long year + 6 really quick months.



This time last year I was beginning to think that clocks and calendars in my home had been sabotaged.   Days became nights became days and yet here I was in the same chair, wearing the same p.j.’s that I wore in the hospital the day after delivering.   Now I’m looking for those same clocks in hopes of freezing time.  Just for a while.  It’s just that all of a sudden it’s going so fast.  The girls turned 18 month old this week.  They are doing all of the things that one does at 18 months and we are all so smitten with them.  Poor little Tuesday was sick with Roseola this week and spent 4 days in my arms.  Piper took full advantage of a quiet sister to really turn on the charm.  Singing, chatting and dancing.  Such a girl!  It makes me smile to think of them in another 18 months.
