No alarm, no noise, no bright lights or annoying itch even, yet I was fully awake at 4:45 this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. I woke up thinking about details for the Night of Laughter and after lying awake for 15 minutes decided it was a good…

Owen: What’s that up dere?

Mary: Up where?

Owen: Up dere…is it lady-guys?

Mary: (waiting silently for more clues)

Owen: Oh! Now dere’s two lady guys!

Mary: (finally catching on) Oh…do you mean ladybugs?

Owen is pretty good about pronunciation and understanding the definition of most of the words he uses, but yesterday I cracked up because he brought me a picture of a computer and said very distinctly…”Look, a cucumber!” Do you think he’s watching too…

Owen has been trying much harder to do things for himself. I know a lot of kids are dressing and undressing themselves by this time but he has been perfectly content to let me do everything for him and since he’s my first and I haven’t been too busy to…

At our wonderful sewing party last Thursday night (which I meant to write about but never did) I was given a brief tour of Madison’s bedroom which now is complete with bunk beds. She showed me how quickly she can climb to the top bunk and while she was…

I worked on it pretty much all afternoon on Saturday. In the morning I drove…
