I can’t believe Thanksgiving is only two days away. It doesn’t feel like Thanksgiving week. Maybe it’s because I still have no kitchen and no downstairs to speak of and so I’m not shopping or pouring over recipes or cooking. Instead I’m crashing friends’ dinners and hoping to sneak home some extra pumpkin pie. Who […]

Couldn’t Be Prouder
This is a gushing mom post. Skip if mom stuff bores you. But this boy, my Ty, had me in tears Saturday with his performance in his school play. He sang. He danced. He acted his heart out and I cried, tears falling throughout his entire first scene. I was so proud. I loved his courage. […]
Happiness
I had all the boys here last night. Jake and Ty, Surfer Ty and Mac. And as we’re living in just a few rooms of the house, we were all squished into Jake’s room to watch TV together. I loved it. I’m happy when we’re all crammed together. I sometimes think its such a mistake […]
On The Sidelines
It’s been busy. So, so, so busy. And chaotic. But boys are thrilled to have their bedrooms back and I’m glad to be in my home again but camping out in an unfinished bedroom, and trying to minimize the smell of primer and glue and wood stain, especially as I worry about all the fumes […]
Laguna Beach Book Signing
I’m back from my Southern California sojourn and now facing a move into my house… although we’re going to be relegated to the boys bedrooms for another week or two while the contractor and crew try to finish the downstairs, which is essential considering that’s where the kitchen and dining room and family room is. I still don’t have […]
When They Were Little
My niece Krysia Sikora just sent me this picture of my ‘big boys’. It was taken at our old Arizona house years ago. Jake’s wearing Power Ranger pj’s so he must have been 5 and in Kindergarten. Ty must be around 2 1/2. I absolutely love this picture as Jake is now way taller than […]
Befriend a Friend
I haven’t been able to log on to the internet in days due to the hotel’s moody wireless router but I finally got a chance to jump on so here I am. Quick update: Ty’s gone back to Hawaii. Mac’s got his first cold. Boys had a crazy busy weekend of sports and birthday parties and I’m […]
Balancing Act
This is going to be short and sweet since its Saturday and a busy sports day with my son Ty having a soccer game in ninety minutes and my high school freshman playing in a water polo game over on Bainbridge Island this afternoon which involves getting us all in the car, over to Seattle […]
The Suite Life
I’ve been back in Bellevue 8 days now and it’s the Suite Life of Jane & Family. For those of you who have kids who watch the Disney Channel you might recognize the play on the TV show The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. And for those of you who know the show, Zack & Cody’s […]
Mac & Misc
I told Mac today’s our last day in Hawaii until December so he’s decided to do some sun bathing of his own on the living room couch. He’s a nature baby, that’s for sure.Nude and naked are his favorite states of dress, although he’ll settle for a diaper when we have to go out and […]
