I hope you’re all enjoying your day as much as we are. Avelyn had her FIRST day at the pool! PS – the wearing of sunglasses may be necessary while viewing this photo; don’t let the whiteness scare you away. Hey, at least you can’t see my legs.

A lot, a little late
Posted in Catching up, Firsts, HoboBaby, Just me, School on May 18th, 2009
It’s OVER! I am DONE with nursing school, DONE with working for free, DONE with living away from my family, DONE with living in apartments and with other people! DONE! DONE ! DONE! Where to begin? The past two weeks (Seriously? Two weeks? I can’t believe I’ve gone two weeks without blogging. It’s like I [...]
Her [sort of] bionic ears
Posted in Firsts, My Little Lady on Apr 28th, 2009
For the past several months Avelyn has suffered from recurring non-stop one freaking long double ear infection (AKA otitis media). Poor thing’s ear are always filled with fluid which has been causing pain and interfering with her ability to hear. Kevin and I decided to go ahead and get tubes to alleviate this problem and [...]
These days be a whirl of winds
Posted in Big days, Firsts, My Little Lady, Videos on Apr 25th, 2009
And I’m not just talking about the magnificent breezes blowing Avelyn’s hair all around her face that make her smile, sigh and giggle in the most beautiful way. We have been SO busy. Birthdays, school, work, moving… I can’t wait to be done with it all and living under one roof with just my husband [...]
Skortin’ ‘round town
Posted in Firsts, HoboBaby, Out and about on Mar 22nd, 2009
Avelyn played on the playground for the FIRST time today! I told Kevin he should take her to the park in his parent’s neighborhood because they had baby swings and he did! AND she wore a skort for the first time. How funny is that? A skort. Remember those? On those chubby little legs. I [...]

The plague sleepeth upstairs
Posted in Firsts, Funny, HoboBaby, Kith and kin, Nursey-ness, Randomness on Feb 27th, 2009
Two sick people are currently sleeping in their respective beds upstairs. I am supposed to be packing up the apartment for our big “move into storage” extravaganza tomorrow. Alas, I sit here in my white t-shirt and pink wet-hair towel writing because you know what? I’m tired of packing and I boycott until tomorrow morning. [...]

Death by cilantro
Posted in Dailies, Firsts, Funny, My Little Lady on Feb 7th, 2009
Tonight at dinner Avelyn confirmed my worst fear — that she finds the thought of a dead Momma really, really freaking hysterical. I was holding her on my lap and she was jumping up and down. When I went to inhale, a piece of cilantro (mmm) got sucked to the back of my throat and [...]
Happy [mostly] Merry Christmas!
Posted in Big days, Firsts, Holidaze, Kith and kin, Pictures on Jan 8th, 2009
The holidays are over, praise God. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Christmas. It is my favorite time of year. Lights sparkle all over town, shopping malls and traffic lights are adorned with festive wreaths and ribbons and the anticipation of Christmas morning looms in my mind. It also brings family which in itself [...]
