Finally, a post of sorts

Leanne — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:17:47 +0000

I know I haven’t been posting lately. It’s for a lot of reasons, really. Reasons I can’t get into right now. A sort of strange existential crisis? Family crisis? Personal crisis? Chasing a toddler? Tiring of winter? Feeling blah? Yes. Yes. And yes.

Oh and also, Poppy is doing this now, so I find escaping to open my computer really hard to do these days.

I hope to return soon. I have a lot of writing I’d like to be doing right now. It’s just finding the oomph to do it. Spring, come quickly!

My GURLS

Yes, I know this song is old news to you kids, but I’m posting it anyway.

Because I love it and I love my girls.

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

I heart them.

Old and new

I’m sorry, but when did we get from here,

To here?

There are six days left until Poppy turns ONE and the tears have already been flowing over here. Mine, not hers. I love this little girl and I love who she is becoming right before my eyes. What an amazing year. She has enriched my life in more ways than I can ever say.

Sigh. ONE!

Music Tuesday

More music from me to you on this cold January day. Both are very good for soothing small children to sleep, for what it’s worth. Also, they are beautiful pieces of choreography in my head.

Enjoy.

My body’s in shambles, incrusted with brambles

Poppy is 11.5 months old and not napping.

Which means I am not blogging.

Or eating.

Or bathing.

Or thinking.

To make matters ~~worse~~ better, I have this Adam Green song stuck in my head…

‘Tis the season.

We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year!

With all the love in the world,

Jacob, Leanne, Poppy, Miss Penny, and Captain

Weekend Moment:: A parade

Leanne — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:32:26 +0000

We had a wonderful weekend with family and friends giving thanks, making first memories with Poppy, eating good food, looking at old pictures, listening to a fart application on the iPhone, playing games with new friends, and getting some much needed work done on our new house. I raked our front yard on Saturday! OUR yard. Which I raked. I’ve never even used a rake before, people.

There are so many special moments I would like to share for today’s Weekend Moment, but honestly, the one I will remember forever and always is waking up on Thanksgiving day to watch the Macy’s parade with my own little family. Just the three of us, snuggling up together on the couch on Thanksgiving morning to watch the floats and marching bands. Poppy soaked it all in and especially loved watching the Rockettes perform. This girl has got some aspirations.

Poppy and the Box

This is why I still only have 0.5 boxes packed so far…

Where’s the Baby?

See what I mean? My especially favorite part of this video is the one-eye-reveal followed by the other-eye-reveal. Oh, and her delightful post-game squeal. She cheers for herself every time. She’s a genius.

My Hrrrrr

We have a wedding to go to on Saturday, and I don’t have a new outfit to wear, so I’m thinking of doing something new and CARAZY with my hair instead. Like maybe a faux hawk?

Yes, a faux hawk.

Oh, and also, this video has been viral on the Internets for a while now, but in case you haven’t seen it, it is hilarious. Real, real hilarious.
