30 Days of Thanks: No Time for Surfing

I hope you aren’t too disappointed, but I’m going to cop out of Saturday Surfing today.  The last few days have been jammed packed, and though good, they were definitely exhausting.  Not only have we been busy here, with friends and toddler fun, but I’ve also been working on websites and getting more active with Papoose (if I can get anyone signed up, I’ll be teaching another breastfeeding class next Tuesday and, I’ve started posting again on the Papoose Blog, which means I’m now blogging twice every week day!)…frankly, I haven’t really had much time for surfing.  I could go dig through the depths of my Google reader now, but I still have to publish a new website for somone tonight, so I think I’m just going to skip Saturday Surfing.  Will any of you miss it?

I will not, though, skip out on 30 days of thanks, because I have to share a photo of this adorable little guy we just met today:Mr. M is Nora’s very best friend Miss E’s new baby brother.  We went to meet him at the hospital this morning, when he was not yet 24 hours old, and he is just the most delicious and adorable little boy ever.  He was so much fun to cuddle, just perfect in every way.

Today, I am thankful for womb-achingly sweet newborns, that my friend Jess had a wonderful birth experience, and that Mr. M (who had a true knot in his cord) arrived here safely.

As if bitty babies are not exciting enough, Nora and I were also invited to an impromptu Indian food potluck.  I’m thankful to have such nice friends here on island, for easy dinners, and a nice evening change of pace.

Now off to work I go, and I’ll be back tomorrow with a better post.

    Can’t wait to see the new restaurant website. And thank you a hundred times over for the awesome new Lovelorn Poets site-redesign – I love it! I’ll be sure to let you know when the positive comments start coming in. 🙂

      I’m so glad you like it! I do too. I always feel like they’re a puzzle to figure out — it’s really fun to do. 🙂

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
