Thanks to three cups of this...

And this....


I could make a regular dinner! I am freed from concocting tasteless crock pot dinners, or worse yet, frozen entrees and canned soup. Those are tiny bits of pancetta in there! And FRESH asparagus. Ahh, I didn't think this day would every come, or at least not for months ahead The family can rejoice, even Oliver is excited.

Park House






Just kidding, I was on a roll with the House posts, in all seriousness this was the first trip to the park for Truman.

Sick House




If you haven't already heard it's been a trying week for the Dinon quad, including ear infections, hospital stays and fevers. Luckily everyone is feeling better and well on the way to a full recovery.

Mad House



Literally. Things have been crazy around here, as I'm sure any of you who have visited us have noticed (Did our laundry room actually move downstairs? Is it proper for Milly to be wearing pajamas all day, two days in a row? Is Mike supposed to smell like that? And really, when was the last time I actually washed my hair?). But at the same time we have been having so much fun finding our niche as a four unit family. Routines are starting to be formed, and the impossible excitement I found in getting out of the house to grocery shop in the earlier weeks is diminishing. Who knew browsing the specialty cheese case could bring such happiness? Or that I could get my fill of adult interaction by chatting with the lady at the deli counter.

Truman is getting so big, six weeks old tomorrow. He was smiling at Mike and Mil yesterday as I made dinner. MIlly is slowing adjusting to becoming a big sister, she deals with the changes by singing lots of Christmas songs and constantly talking about when she was a baby. Like she reminded me that when she was a baby she never cried, she only talked. And when she was a baby she slept in her own room, NOT in a co-sleeper like Truman in our room. Ahh, I didn't have the heart to tell she was wrong on both accounts.

Bath time



Not all of us have time to take baths daily anymore ( like me, terrible), but Truman sure does enjoy his bath time.

Just in.....


The cupcakes at Starbucks are AMAZING, take Milly's face for it.
