Hallowe’en : Madeline is a strawberry, Henry is a monkey!
Well, another Hallowe’en has come and gone. And as usual, we have more candy left than we gave away. I bet if I bought candy I didn’t eat, I’d buy less. Ah well. Some...

Maine-spotting
We took Madeline up to Maine for the weekend. Nicole scored us a great deal at the Harborside in Bar Harbor. And when we arrived we told the folks at the front desk that...
Headed to Maine
Tomorrow we are heading up to the great state of Maine for Madeline’s first road trip. We have some lighthouses and quaint little towns we both want to see, and I had some vacation...
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Spent yesterday up at SQL Saturday #146 in Nashua, NH. Today was a nice lazy day at home. I left only to drive Scott to the airport, then to go pick up this box...

Madeline at home
Madeline hiccups a lot. I’m not concerned about this, I just feel bad – sometimes it seems to scare her. She’s also very sensitive to sudden sounds. Poor Kirby is going to need a...
Madeline : Home at last!
Today we were finally able to bring our daughter home. Huzzah! It was another busy day – discharge took a lot longer than I expected. Of course, just as we were paperworked up and...
Madeline : Day 3
Today was a little quieter for our little girl. Lots of commotion in the morning but a relatively uneventful afternoon and evening. She’s getting the hang of the whole eating thing, and her ability...
