Quick Home Post

The last few days have been both amazing and stressful.  Friday, Nora and I headed off island to join two of our Nantucket Friends at the Mass., Rhode Island, Vermont La Leche League Conference.It was, by all accounts, wonderful, educational and perfect — except for the part where Nora got a mysterious illness which resulted in vomiting at precisely 9:00 p.m. every night, in between which she was 100% normal.  Actual, real throw-up is…gross.  And really sad, too.  And, more than a little exhausting to manage and clean up, not to mention anticipate every moment of the day after seeing her act normally and throw up without warning.  Thank goodness, we are finally home (without a single episode of toddler-illness today!!!) and off to bed. Tomorrow, I will fill you in on the past three days.

    Hi Amber, That’s great you had such a wonderful trip to get away and enjoy the conference with Nora and your friends! I wonder if Nora vomited because of the strange surroundings, excitement, and such. Maybe she doesn’t react too well to change. Enjoy your week!

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. 😂
