Six Years

renidemus — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:38:35 +0000

Six years ago today, I had been married for just a day. It was a full day, too–checking out of the hotel, going to Liturgy with my parents, opening a few gifts before they started the drive back down to California, and then packing and moving all of our essential things to a new house–just for two weeks while we finished finals, before leaving for our honeymoon–because we both had roommates who didn’t want to be in a house with just-married folk. I understand that.

Six years later, I still remember the feel of my feet in my shoes.… read on...

16ish Months

You may have been looking for an update on the Babers on Good Friday. I’m sorry if you were disappointed. Maybe this will make up for it. Let’s do it in list form. #yaylists!

She is 99th percentile for head circumference. Taking after Dada on that front.. 87th% for height, and 60% for weight, so she’s “evening out” a bit. Still tall and slim, though :) Her pants are starting to get too short.
She got three shots, but she was a champ. It was so much better than her 12 mo shots. Goodness. I tear up just

I love you so much.

We miss you.

Sweet Leaf

You saw one happy peek at our Sunday visit to Sweet Leaf on Long Island during our NY trip. But I do have more pictures to share. I think this cafe was my favorite. Favorite. It had a great vibe, the baristas were awesome, there was plenty of seating (well, it was 10 am on a Sunday morning), and floods of light through big windows. Macia had some oatmeal, I had a capp, and Taylor had a pour-over. It was surprisingly and pleasantly wonderfully delicious.

I was a runner in high school. Yes, I was a proud member of the group that said things like “my sport is your sport’s punishment” (don’t ask me why that was cool–did it make us tough?) and “You run like a girl? Good for you.” and “Runners. Yeah, we’re weird.” We are weird. That’s for sure.

We do things like take pictures of nifty running shoes.

So when Taylor decided to pick up running and do the Seattle marathon a few years ago, I was all for it! Of course, I have never had a desire to… read on...

Climb Every.. Chair

Today we’re heading up to Macia’s 16 month check up. Yes, the kid is 16 months old.. is that crazy to anyone else? I’ll have growth and other update things tomorrow for those of you who are curious. All I know is this: she has grown so much.

She’s started climbing. Her first conquest was my rocking chair in the bedroom. She loves that chair. Every.single.night, that’s where I rock her to sleep. When she wakes up at night, I rock her back to sleep in it. In the morning, and before naps, it’s a spot for quiet and… read on...

Abundance

renidemus — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:52:17 +0000

We have lots of carrots. ‘Tis the season, apparently, for our CSA produce share, but I made the mistake of asking Taylor to get “some carrots” at the store one week when we didn’t get any in our box. One ten-pound bag later.. we still have an abundance. And, well, when life gives you, uh.. carrots, make pancakes!

Carrot cake pancakes (via Smitten Kitchen via Joy the Baker), specifically.

Macia wanted to watch the whole time, and she enjoyed nibbling on bits of carrot as I finished grating them.

I made her a… read on...
