Peach

Today we got the first (and likely only) glimpse of our little baby.

Nora came along to the ultrasound and the two of us watched in wonder as tiny fingers and toes swam across the screen.    I’m 18 weeks and some days pregnant, and I can’t help but marvel at how much faster this pregnancy is going since I have big sister to keep up with.  Most of the time I can’t even tell you how far along I am so it was nice to get a peek at our little baby and to take a moment that was just about baby.

Up until today, despite our best efforts to prepare her for either gender, Nora has insisted that baby is going to be a boy and that we’re going to name him “fruit.”  Today though, for the first time, she said she wanted a little sister and that we should name the baby “peach.”  We still don’t know what we’re having (because Chris and I love surprises), but I think Peach will work as a lovely stand-in name until he or she arrives.  So, meet Peach:

    Great name! It may be one that sticks around as a nickname for some time… 🙂

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. 😂

Visiting my sweet tiny niece. I had the honor of being the doula at her birth and helping her come into the world. Her parents did amazingly (especially her mama) and everyone is excited to have another little girl in the family.
