VA Is for Very Alone

Backdated Entry January 14, 2014 Ayla has gone to Virginia for four weeks. Last Wednesday, I called my attorney with a couple of questions.

Your Current Favorite Book

I'm between books at the moment, so why don't I fall back on an old-time favorite series of mine. I listened to it constantly while I was pregnant and it became something of a bedtime story for me. Folks, allow me to introduce you to the Fablehaven series, by Brandon Mull. Fablehaven For centuries,... Sign in to see full entry.

Write about some of the teachers you've had and why you liked or dis

I can think of a few off the top of my head, though I'm only going to write about one. I'm not in the mood to travel down memory lane right now. Besides, the others really deserve their own posts. For now, I'll talk about the woman who is still like a second mother to me. Mrs. Z: VI Teacher From... Sign in to see full entry.

Music and Movement, Holiday Style!

Backdated Entry December 18, 2013 Today was Ayla's Music and Movement Christmas party! Okay, so it wasn't actually hers, but since I'm biased, everything's about my Ayla! Last week, I signed up to bring animal crackers and fruit snacks to the party. Since I didn't know how many kids and adults would... Sign in to see full entry.

One Year Pedi Hell

Backdated Entry December 18, 2013 Monday was Ayla's one year checkup with her pediatrician. Let me just take a moment to say that I adore this man. He's so kind and helpful; all pedis should be like Dr. Mike. I left the house at between 8:00 and 8:10 AM and arrived right on time at 8:30 AM. Tony,... Sign in to see full entry.

At 8 pounds, 6 ounces, 20 inches long, she was a healthy little miracle. It all began at 6:30 AM on December 12. As was typical in those final... Sign in to see full entry.

Little Feet On The Move!

Backdated Entry December 10, 2013 Ayla started walking today! While playing with her in the living room, Ayla suddenly let go of the hassock I was sitting on, turned toward Tony's bed and took off! There was no warning, no preparing. She just saw something she wanted and walked for it. Naturally, I... Sign in to see full entry.
