Halloween

Okay- so i tried to be the crafty Mama-like my Momma was- and make Lake’s halloween costume.  Husband and I decided that Lake would make a great Charlie Brown -seeing as how he has very little hair.  (Not to mention the fact that I tried to cut his hair and used the wrong attachment on [...]

Home Sweet Home

Finally!  We are finally getting settled.  We bought a house a little over a month ago.  It feels a little like Christmas at our house.  We are unpacking boxes that haven’t been opened since we left Alaska (two years ago).  Lake has his own room.  I finally got to make my baby a room!  I [...]

We are a nomadic sort….

Hooray!  Tonight is our last night in the military hotel (at this base anyway)!  We are on the road -beginning tomorrow morning!  I am so excited that I don’t know what to do with myself!  After five years away  (far away -like Alaska) and the addition of a baby -we are finally moving closer to family!!  The [...]

The Mama Games

As I had coffee this morning I was reading other blogs.  I stumbled across a post on Baby Games at one of my favorite new sites (www.amotherlikeallothers.wordpress.com).  Too Funny.  You should really read. 
It really made me think of another type of game strangers/family members/ mothers play with each other.  Taking amotherlikeallother’s lead -I will call [...]

Reason Number 1 that I LOVE being a Mama

Watching my baby play and learn 
Tonight, as my husband and I were watching the Democratic debates Lake was playing in the floor.  He was just crawling around, investigating, just enjoying himself.  He crawled over to his plastic mirror and looked in it.  He smiled -he saw a baby.  He leaned back -then leaned forward quickly.  [...]
