Carolina Chronicles: January 2010
http://carolinachronicles.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 31, 2010. Have tooth will giggle. I remain amazed at how beautifully serene our little guy is. Even though he has clearly been teething, as evidenced by the tiny tooth which now graces the left side of his jaw, he has still been a very pleasant boy. I have noticed a slight upswing in fussiness, but it is hardly worth mentioning. Daniel and I feel so incredibly blessed to have been eased into parenthood by such a gentle soul. Links to this post. Tuesday, January 12, 2010. He was a special ...

Carolina Chronicles: May 2009
http://carolinachronicles.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. I was killing time on the New York Times website today when I came across an editorial. Collection discussing whether or not prom should be abolished, given that it has become an evening of excess of just about every sort for hormone-driven teenagers who have not fully developed the capacity for good judgment yet. I'm not criticizing them for it. it's just true that the brain doesn't mature until about the age of 26! No way, Jose! There you have it. No prom for me. Perhaps I am jus...

Carolina Chronicles: March 2009

Sunday, March 29, 2009. Like to see him perform, and if practices away from me are part of the deal, then I suppose I'll figure out how to live with this every 2 weeks or every month or so. This arrangement has several benefits for Daniel:. 1 Excuses for road trips, which he loves. 2 Being a performing musician again in more than just a church choir capacity. 4 Inspiring new admiration in his wife.

Carolina Chronicles: April 2009

Monday, April 27, 2009. Take Me Out to the Ice Rink. Well, 5 hours of much-needed napping later, I can officially state that I both survived and really enjoyed our little field-trip to Raleigh and the RBC Center to see a game in which the Hurricanes stuck it to the Devils and the guy in our net got a shut-out against his childhood hockey idol. Wooooooohoo! These are my top three reasons for this conclusion:. Links to this post. Thursday, April 23, 2009. Links to this post. Tuesday, April 21, 2009. It's r...

Carolina Chronicles: June 2009
http://carolinachronicles.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 26, 2009. Lost Icons, and Unfading Icons. The AP ran an article this morning on the events that added up to a "bad day" for Generation Xers, the generation to which I apparently belong by virtue of my birth year. It was a bad day because we Xers lost two cultural icons (or three, if you want to count Ed McMahon, whose passing quickly became passe in the wake of the news about Farrah and Michael). Daniel and I sat on the couch last night watching my belly bounce up and down as a little person...

Carolina Chronicles: September 2009
http://carolinachronicles.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. The report is mixed today. First, the fun stuff: We went to the Greek festival on Saturday. The weather has been nice - crisp in the evenings and warm enough for comfort during the day, with showers (and the occasional torrent) from time to time. We chose to eat at the festival and bring home some goodies for later. Everything has been very yummy so far! That's it for now. I'll try to upload some pictures later on! Links to this post. Sunday, September 20, 2009. We've started...

http://carolinachronicles.blogspot.com/2010/02/you-say-that-to-all-moms.html
Friday, February 5, 2010. You say that to all the moms. What I do like is the other thing I was told at Ian's appointment on Wednesday. Oh my gosh, he's so cute.". He's sooooo cute.". The girl checking us in said it about 3 or 4 times before I said,. Well, thank you, but I bet you see a lot of cute kids in here.". She replied, "We see a lot of kids. You could say that much.". No, really, he's so cute! I think so - flat, lopsided head or no! You have ONE CUTE BOY! I want to see some more videos! Choral So...

Carolina Chronicles: July 2009
http://carolinachronicles.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. So, while unpleasant, this development wasn't unexpected. Some elective procedures I'm okay with, but not those that take two lives into the balance when nature has been doing a pretty good job of accomplishing the same thing since the advent of humanity. So, I fretted and read and worried and cried off and on for 12 hours until finally, mercifully, had an appointment with our OB just before office closing time. 3 My gestational diabetes - which can cause premature aging of the pla...

Monday, February 23, 2009. Thank God for Little Things. Especially the first gentle pokes of tiny little person. Links to this post. Monday, February 16, 2009. Driven to my Knees. Fear, or love? I am not sure which motivation is stronger in my life. Sometimes I think it just depends on the day. Whatever the case, I found myself sitting and talking to our local priest yesterday about some of my recent struggles, and when he asked about my prayer life, my answer was a bit unusual - even for me:. Still, isn...
