The Bird Haven: 11/1/10 - 12/1/10

Welcome to the Bird Haven! Tuesday, November 9, 2010. So there is a reason this post is dated November 9, 2010. I was about 9 months pregnant - how close to 9 months I did not yet realize - when I posted up a bunch of our recent pictures on facebook and gmail photos. The next day I started a blog post about it to give our now apparently "yearly" update on our soon to be threesome family. The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Or click on any of the links in our last blog post, dated May 2010. Subscribe to:...

Welcome to the Bird Haven! Saturday, January 29, 2011. So this post is a catch-up post, about having a baby. I was fine for the first week and a half… but after that, things started going downhill. I wondered, don’t I need to actually catch up at some point? Doesn’t nature make allowances for that? Ha ha… yeah right! And of course, no one that hasn’t had a baby really understands the reality of that kind of a life change - including us! Luckily now he is 2 ½ months old and a lot more “grown up...We are g...

Welcome to the Bird Haven! Friday, April 29, 2011. Mom is a genius. Sometimes I just have to applaud myself for my exceptional intuition. Maybe it's a mom thing - but I really can just sense sometimes what James needs, when to feed him, when he's tired, when he's bored, and when he just needs to cry for a bit. As you can see, James's mom is a genius. While James was screaming away at the top of his lungs because someone (who could it be? Had been mysteriously turning out the lights on him and limiting br...

Welcome to the Bird Haven! Monday, May 11, 2009. I turned into a redhead. We repeated this on Wednesday except it was much colder and we only had time to play for about 15-20 minutes because I had to leave for work and it took a long time checking everything out from the RB. We are hoping it gets warmer in the mornings. On Saturday we invited Natalie to come over to our house to remind her of our fun, exciting days back home in Wenatchee. In the early spring. (that means lots of yard work. X replace our ...

Welcome to the Bird Haven! Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Dates, deadlines, and dinners. It was the end of a long day, April 14th to be exact. Nick and I had both spent the last night (Monday night) working on tax returns, extension filing, change management client deliverables, ethics case teacher notes, emailing random folks with random errands, laundry, dishes, dinner, etc. etc. and we were both pretty much done with the whole thing! It was a great way to not be doing anything related to taxes. Though I'v...

The Bird Haven: Running for a Good Cause
http://thebirdhaven.blogspot.com/2012/03/running-for-good-cause.html
Welcome to the Bird Haven! Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Running for a Good Cause. Nick and I have done the Rex Lee Run every year for the past five years. In fact, we met on the day of the Rex Lee Run on March 24, 2007 . not at the run, but afterward. I ran the Rex Lee Run (or part of it anyway . those were the days when I had to stop everything halfway through to rush on to the next thing I was doing). Pretty smooth, eh? Running amazingly enough always puts him to sleep.). And the rest is history. I improve...

Welcome to the Bird Haven! Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Dare I quote Emily Dickinson. Sometimes I like to read poetry. Actually, I love it. I think I like it so much because it requires only reading a little bit and thinking about it slowly. It is a way of healing for me, I think, from some things in life that come too fast. Nick got me The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson. For Christmas. (Yes, unasked! Then, when we finally get everything ready for James to eat and sit down in the chair to start our lit...

Welcome to the Bird Haven! Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Our Trip to San Francisco. We just got back from a FABULOUS. He also still takes two naps a day, a fact I am immensely pleased with and am going to faithfully hang on to as long as I can until the baby comes. So when we planned to head out to Nick's sister Nicole's wedding in Oakland in March, we decided to pick that as the time to test out our family vacation possibilities. And after only a few hitches in the beginning, it worked! Sallied through the...

Welcome to the Bird Haven! Saturday, March 19, 2011. So on the subject of business, I have a confession to make. Our family business runs overtime on Sundays. I have always loved Sundays. Well, almost always. There is nothing sweeter than a day of real rest . taking time off from work, homework, housework. I like listening in church, doing home and visiting teaching, and preparing lessons . and enjoying the quiet moments when it's all over and it's just time for family and talk. It also meant we had to c...
