Meg has started to chortle, “A Ho Ho Ho” when she laughs. It makes me laugh. Nate occasionally smiles, and not a whole smile, a kind of amused look. It also makes me laugh. I recently read two books: The Hope Chest: A Legacy of Love” and Hearth and Home. My friend, Heather, lent them…
Meg has recently begun to “help” me cook. She loves standing on the step stool and either watching or doing safe tasks for me. I got in my mom’s cedar chest and got the apron her aunt made for her out. My mom wore it when she was little. I wore it when I was…
When I took Nate for his two week pediatrician appointment, he weighed 12 lbs and was inches long. The nurse dutifully wrote those numbers down and charted them for the doctor to discuss with me. He came in and said, “Hmmm. Looks like 75th percentile for weight and 95th percentile for height.” I must’ve looked…

So, it seems my comments have been working and you could post them by hitting the permalink, I just had no idea they were there! In some ways it is fun to get 6 or so comments all at once, but in others I wish I had known they were there all along. Anyway, my…
Kristen posted recently on Kate’s starting to learn the Catechism for Young Children and her Amens. Meg is starting to do the same things. At the end of prayers, when she hears that key phrase “in Jesus’ name” she says “Am-eh.” Usually pretty emphatically. (Of course, most of the time prayers are right before a…
Meg loves being a big sister. All three times she came to the hospital, she’d just point and say, “Baby!” over and over and over. She’d go explore the hospital room, then come back and inform all of us that there was a baby. Then, when we came home, I let her “hold” him. She…
