Well now that my heart rate’s nearly back to normal, no thanks to Hudson, guess I can write my post. I had other things on my mind to talk about here today, but the events of the day won out as is often the case. Hudson’s actually a gentle little soul, Quiet, despite the unfortunate toddler finger…
Hudson & the Harvest Moon
Did you happen to look up in the night sky this past week, see that massive glowing orb? Yeah, the moon. I’m talkin’ Tuesday night. Yeah that moon. It was pretty amazing Monday night too. But Tuesday it hung low on the horizon. Driving along, thought I might bump right into it. Gargantuan. With a…
She Got Up Out Of Bed
Well hello friends. Yes, SHE… is me. My remaining gray cells have percolated a title for today’s post. Here’s what came: She Got Up Out of Bed. If you’re new around here, I post mostly delicious during the week and muse on the weekend. Try to fill you in behind the scenes around here, write about family, whatever’s…
Heart Hudson
Hudson’s cardiology appointment I’ve been dreading for some time finally took place yesterday morning. Little Hudson has been super blessed to have no major Heart issues. (Hudson’s five, has Down syndrome.) 40-60% of children with Down syndrome do have significant congenital Heart issues. Hudson has a very slight back-valve leakage that the cardiologist keeps an eye on….
Don’t Care If I Never Get Back
Hey friends – hope you’re well today! Love it when the dots connect. It seems there are often themes going on in my life beneath the surface that seem to converge almost simultaneously. This happens to me a ton, and here’s the latest scoop. At the beginning of this past week I was sitting in…
Are You My Mother?
You remember the children’ book Are You My Mother, right? That hilarious book about a little bird who goes in search of his mother. It’s by P.D. Eastman, author of the Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat series. Here’s a short synopsis of the book (by Wikipedia) to jog your memory. “Are You My Mother ”…
Twinkle Twinkle
(Hudson’s my youngest, 5 years old now. Hudson has Down syndrome.) Hudson’s adored music ever since he was a baby. I didn’t catch it at first. He was maybe 8 months old and we’d get in the car. I nearly always play music in the car. But every once in a while for one reason…
Extra Forgiving & Mostly Happy
Sure do hope wherever you are is as beautiful as it is here in New Hampshire today. Seventy degrees, no humidity. Blue sky, singing birds. We’re patiently waiting for the tree leaves to catch up with the rest of spring around here. Extra Forgiving & Mostly Happy It’s been remarked a number of times on our…
Just Like Billy
I got the biggest charge the other day, went to download pictures from my phone for the site, got quite a surprise. Oh yeah, Hudson was involved. Let me back up. You remember Bil Keane’s Family Circus comic strip, right? I sure do. Sunday mornings were always exciting when I was little. Why? I’d like to…
Two Words
I witnessed something so incredibly sweet from my breakfast seat at the kitchen counter early this morning. So moving I knew I’d write about it someday. Well, someone beat me to punch line. Stole my thunder. Yeah, someone. My better half. Ha. He was also there in the kitchen this morning. Didn’t just witness it, he…
