This blog is a lot like the fish we bought for Eli a few months ago. No matter how much I neglect it, it’s still alive when I come back to check on it. Looks like we’re stuck with each other — my blog, Fish, and me. (Eli isn’t very creative with naming things. Just ask his favorite stuffed animal, “Friend.”)
Things have been — surprise! — busy around here. It probably has something to do with Eli being in the throes of two-year-oldism, Sophia trying to do everything Eli does (despite his “loving” violence toward her), my pregnancy (18 weeks and counting), and my little nannying charge, Rory (11 hours a day, 5 days a week).
My life has gotten significantly easier (and more fun) since the arrival of Molly, my sister and current favorite person in the whole world. She’s staying with me for a few weeks and is a tremendous help. The idea that a dish left on the counter might be washed by someone else … it’s a wonderful feeling.
I’m going to try to update more regularly, although I’ve said that before (and the holidays aren’t a great time to start). Stay tuned for pictures of our Christmas decorating (and our sad little tree)…
Give me more, please. Your faraway friends demand it. Love that pic.
And your mother likes them, too (the posts, the pictures, the flattering comments about her other children…) Just can’t get enough of it :)
