The perfect coat
Due to a shipping snafu, I ended up with six meters (instead of the three I ordered) of a gorgeous teal melton wool from Blackbird Fabrics. Last fall Two falls ago I made a cape with it, and I love it, but capes aren’t the most practical and I’ve wanted another teal jacket/coat since I […]
Read More…Bench #7
My brother and niece were in town and we took the 7th bench picture. Or sixth, if you choose not to count last year’s curb pic. I’m not sure if I do or not. 2022: If you look at the previous pictures, you might ask yourself if that’s the same bench as in previous years. […]

First soccer tournament in a while
The boys joined a competitive team again, but not the same one they played on a few years ago. They’re probably the youngest players on the team (it’s for kids born in 2006 and 2007 and they’re right at the end of 2007) but they seem to be holding their own. That said, the team […]

Fourteen and three quarters
Technically, according to Louisiana law, they could start driver’s ed now. :hyperventilating: I mean, for obvious reasons, that will not be happening just yet (are the reasons obvious? well, okay they are: these are my babies; they can’t possibly be that old yet; is louisiana insane?; drivers ed for three is going to cost a […]

They just keep getting bigger and bigger. To see the difference between this August and last August, check out my instagram. (And you’ll be getting an almost identical picture in four days, on their first day of high school (!). No uniforms!)

Summer camp recap
We (the boys and I) got home yesterday from ten days in Virginia and I’d better write it all down before I forget. The beginning of our trip already feels like a lifetime ago (but like, a really fun lifetime.) We arrived after an early flight at around lunchtime on Saturday the 9th. Kiki picked […]

Ketchup
Well, summer has officially begin. We’re in it now. What’s happened since the last update? Every minor in the house has had covid, but no adults. I got my booster when the first one had it, so fingers crossed I’ll avoid it for now. I know it’s going to get me eventually, but I’d prefer […]
