One of my favourite books as a kid (or at least one I remember most vividly) was Judith Viorst’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Even though the illustrations are black and white, Amelia loves it too and often pulls it off the shelf for us to read.

Sometimes there is mail from New York, or some pictures, or stickers for Amelia or my mom’s latest knitting creation. The last time she came over she brought a slim volume called The Beauty of Motherhood: Selected [...]

“Sisters. Sisters. There were never such devoted sisters.”

It is hard to believe I’m already halfway through this pregnancy, but we have our 20-week ultrasound next week to determine/confirm that baby #2 is, in fact, a boy. Either way we’ll be happy, of course, but I’m relatively confident it is a boy. Most of the time I don’t really notice that I’m pregnant [...]

When I have time, I’ll post about all of Amelia’s recent adventures with some guests who visited from Boston, several parties and all the new words she can say. But since it’s late, here’s a photo of Amelia playing the piano at my cousin’s engagement brunch.
