Lifenut — 1. This is probably the most astonishing, raw, gorgeous birth story I have read. By the end, I was sobbing. Go read about Nella Cordelia and her beautiful family. 2. Sam is reading The Secret Garden for school. We discuss it on Wednesday nights, which is when he has to hurry and rip through 8 chapters because he procrastinated. Thursday reading circle sneaks up on you, doesn’t it? Anyway, I was talking about how much Colin irritated me when I read it years ago. Sam asked why, and I said because Colin is whiny. Sam noted that he was sick and really lonely, so of course he ...

Hello, my blog!
Pinwheels — It’s a blizzardy day here, the snow blowing sideways and the sun a pale gray circle in the sky.  There’s Green Chili and Corn chowder made from last summer’s corn simmering on the stovetop, the boys are playing Lego’s “Pirate’s Treasure,” and I’m reading blogs.     Which is how this ray of sunlight came into my kitchen:  meet Nella Cordelia, her pretty mama, and read their story, here.

I say this because I still do this with my 7 year old.  I still do this with my 4 year old too, even on days ...

Pregnancy Stories
Design Mom — Here's something a little different. For the 2nd pregnancy/childbirth/adoption post today, I'm going to send you elsewhere. Here are some terrific (amazing!) stories that have found their way in to my inbox, but that are a little too lengthy to post in full. You won't want to miss these. I promise: 1) Is That My Uterus in that Taurus? It's exactly what you think. A baby born in a car. Which doesn't sound funny but will make you laugh till you cry. 2) The Story of Nella Cordelia Every once in awhile a baby with Down Syndrome is born to parents who had no idea. ...
