Introducing Short Round

Hi, boys and girls, it’s me, Supa! I’m emerging from my huddle on the couch to say, I’m pregnant again! Couldn’t be more excited about a new baby. Kind of already over the pregnant thing, but I’ll put that down to the eternal, ever-present queasiness. Illustrated: I walked in the door last week and immediately […]

What I’ve learned from playing video games for a week straight

… That life is pretty awesome when all you do is play video games.
We had a super Christmas, you guys. Visited my family in Ohio, wore mustaches, ate a lot of delicious food and played a lot of games. We got a Wii for Christmas, so when we came home after the holiday, we set […]

Happy housiversary!

We moved in to our new house the week of Halloween 2008, which means we’ve now been here a whole year. We’ve seen all four seasons and every major holiday, memorized the quickest routes to school and work and grocery store, met a bunch of super people and started our own traditions.
It makes me a […]

Wedding notes

OK! I am rested and refreshed, recovered from our wedding weekend and back to show you the handful of pictures I managed to get. I guess I depended a little too heavily on my dad/the professional photogs because when I reviewed the pictures on my camera, they’re all of the hotel and the end of […]

Damp camp!

Got back from camping with my sister and brother and my sister’s boyfriend. We arrived under sunny skies, with lovely warm weather; went wading in the pond and hiking through the woods and I spent a lovely hour or two reading magazines in the shade. But by nightfall, the rain began to tumble down, and […]

You can do anything you want there!

Well, you can’t fly. But otherwise, yeah.
We’re leaving to go camping today with the boys and my brother and sister and sister’s boyfriend. It should be awesome — I’m holding out for seeing the Milky Way again tonight, if the clouds hold.

Lassitude

We went camping this weekend. My knees got sunburned. The children spent more hours than I have fingers throwing rocks into the pond. We ate meals cooked over a campfire. We all practiced peeing in the woods. The boys went hiking with their dad as I read Waiting For Godot and scratched my head.
My […]

Let the squealing commence

Popping in to say Merry Christmas in advance. We four are at our own house for Christmas Eve for the first time, playing Batman after a nice steak dinner. Usually we are at Iain’s parents’ or my own (with the exception of that one time I was ten months pregnant with Owen, not going anywhere, […]

Like holidays of yore, but with more beer

It’s weird getting together with adult siblings. You know you’ve all come from the same household, the same parents … but there’s really no telling what mental spin they’ve put on the experience. I wonder what their personal narratives are, how they explain my family to other people. I assume that my interpretation is the […]

Road trip!

Leaving in five minutes for Pittsburgh and a party at my sister’s house in Columbus — the weather will be”fabwelous” as Owen puts it and we’re going to slip in an early birthday cake for Cormac, too. See you on the flipside, with photos!
