“You know the nearer your destination the more your slip sliding away” Paul Simon As Lillian’s first birthday approaches much faster than I’d like, the more quickly I feel the infancy and baby phase of her life slip sliding away.

Slip Sliding Away…
May 22, 2012The way we are
March 23, 2012Oh how I wish that more of my days look like the picture out of one of Norman Rockwell’s beautiful images, but more often than not the days ebb and flows of the day are filled with both the high and lows of riding on the motherhood roller coaster! I love thrill rides and [...]
Happy 8 months Lillian
February 28, 2012Dear Lillian, Wow, this past month has been an explosion of new developments for you and I have loved to watch every second of your growth.

Going the distance
January 31, 2012Running for me is more than just exercise; it is therapeutic and spiritual.

I was left to do bedtime alone, which usually isn’t a problem, but last night Lillian wasn’t feeling well because of a cold she is trying to fight. I did everything to try and schedule the [...]
A New Year
January 2, 2012Christmas is over, we have celebrated the new year and today I gathered the energy to take down the decorations and the tree. There is a certain sadness that hangs in the air like early morning fog across the cranberry bogs when I take down the decorations. I always feel a little depressed when the [...]
Just as we are
December 18, 2011The girls are asleep, I’m sitting in my flannel PJs under my warmest down comforter listening to Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker on the iPod, wishing I was dancing on stage with some of the world’s best ballerina. John is sitting next to me reading and I can’t help but feel the urge to blog! I rarely get [...]
