and before that





Sam turned six! When I first had Sam, the limit of my imagination for my children was age three. Then it became age five. Now I guess I'm just going to have to get used to bigger and bigger kids (kids who might be taller than me in a couple of years, for example). We had a family party and then later a friend party. He wanted a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting decorated with Reese's, and then a lemon cake with vanilla frosting decorated with mini M&M's. I'm getting tired just remembering last week's baking activities. There was also the school celebration...blueberry corn muffins. I might wait until Abe's birthday to bake again. Yeah, right.

the new news


I'm giving up trying to post in order. I just get too behind that way. The most recent new news here is that Sam lost a tooth! I remember exactly where I was when I felt that little tooth popping through his baby gums for the first time (in the car driving to Fenway Park when he was seven and a half months old), and now it's out. Weird. The tooth fairy brought $1 (less than many I've heard, but still a lot more than the dime(?!) I got as a kindergartener).

so behind



Let's see. Someone had a big birthday in our family, and it wasn't me. Doesn't he look about 21? It hardly seems fair. Happy Birthday!!
