A glimpse into the future


Nick showed Talullah how to use his iPod today.  Everywhere I looked, she was sitting down listening to some tunes.  I imagine I have much more of this to look forward to in the future.  But I'm hoping it's a looooong way off from now.

Totally domesticated



For anyone who hasn't also discovered this awesome tip via Pinterest, you can regrow green onions by simply saving the last inch of the root end and putting in in water.  I can't believe I'm 30... wait, make that 31... and I'm just now hearing about this.

And, a huge step in my life.  A feeling of accomplishment outdone only by the fact I've experienced childbirth.  I have, twice now, made homemade dinner rolls.  Edible.  Actually, quite delicious.  I'm not sure why I've been intimidated by making any bread involving yeast, because it ended up being a simple process.  I really do feel like I've fully committed to this whole stay-at-home mom, domesticated wife, future home schooling type lifestyle that I'd sneared upon in my early twenties.  Go me.

So sweet


Havanna has just started playing with her little toys, so I sometimes have a whopping ten minutes of hands free time when she's awake.  Her big sisters are usually pretty fascinated by the toys, as well, and Berlyn often pulls one off and goes running away with it.  Talullah just plays mini momma and helps the baby to calm down if she starts fussin'.

And now, I can finally relax
