High on the boys’ to-do list today was a snowball fight on the balcony. As it happened, they more threw snowballs off the balcony, trying to hit various targets — all the better, as far as I am concerned. Clara gleefully watched and stayed nice and dry inside.
I’m not sure it’s quite accurate to call the fabulous little panadería on the corner of 11th and G a place we go. It’s a place we’ve been meaning to check out for a while, a place we finally did go, and a place we definitely plan to make of habit of. A week […]
It was a beautiful day, and the superheroes were restless, so we went to the park.
I wanted the boys to be able to play outside in the snow, but I didn’t want to have to bundle Clara. We found a workable solution: the boys played on the balcony, and Clara stayed snug in her crib. It took twice as much time to suit up and unbundle as it did for […]
Today we visited our friends in Plattsmouth, about an hour away from Lincoln. The boys wanted to know how long it would take to get there, and we answered using the standard unit of measurement when explaining time to preschoolers: two Dinosaur Trains (actually, closer to three, since we watch without commercials). This answer satisfied them […]

As I was uploading the pictures for this entry (one for each hour I’ve been awake today, taken sometime within the hour but not necessarily on the o’clock), I realized that most of them are blurry. That’s so fitting for how today has felt to me: I have a head cold, and I was always […]
The boys helped me make waffles this morning, and Clara didn’t want to be left out. We’ve started a couple new charts on our kitchen chalkboark, one for obedience and one for (not) complaining. The obedience one is new this morning, and we have some kinks to work out, but the basic idea is every […]
I take photos of my three kids almost every day and of other people (and places and things) when I get a chance. I love to travel. I quilt and read and organize with great passion and in bursts of creativity and motivation with long (sometimes years-long) breaks in between kicks. I like cooking better than baking. Read More...
