What a difference four months can make. The last time I saw Sonnette, she was one week old, sucking on a binky in between two-minute naps, her eyelashes fluttering beneath her dainty headband. This morning, she was a lot more active — lending a hand to turn the pages of a storybook (kind of), even […]

The Little Fella didn’t like the feel of the grass on his bare feet. He didn’t like the powdery sand between his toes. Or the wet sand on his soles. Mom guessed he was teething and had a headache.

We couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon, or a better family. Plus a tea set. Tulle. Some sidewalk chalk. It really can’t get any better. And the best part is that I’ll get to do it all over again — when baby Sonnette is born in a few weeks, and again every three months, […]
