Wheels

Roan LOVES to drive these little cars. We recently bought him his very own “Cosy Coupe” at a yard sale and put it on the balcony for him. Best $1.50 we ever spent.

Roan Sleeping

This is a beautiful thing indeed, after an incredibly difficult adjustment period, trying to get Roan to sleep in our new apt. For the first few weeks, he screamed bloody murder and was inconsolable before every nap and bedtime (we were so afraid one of the neighbors would call the cops!). We couldn’t leave him … Continue reading →

Roan’s New Room

Roan’s new room is at least twice the size of his last room. He loves it. It’s bright and sunny. He can sit in the window sill and look at trees and squirrels out the window.

Visit from "Hair-er"

There was no initial shyness, no warming up period, no reprinting of the kinship memory. From the moment we picked her up from the airport to the moment she left, all we heard … Continue reading →

Our New Apartment

Here’s Roan in our living room, tucked in the corner of the couch in his jammies watching Thomas the Tank Engine. As far as apartments go, we love it. But it’s been an adjustment, for sure, after living in a single family home. For example, you don’t realize how LOUD your toddler is, until you’ve … Continue reading →

Roan Turns Two!

Two Years Old at Sherwood Gardens As usual, we’re about 5 months behind on the blog. But selling a house and moving with a toddler is a good excuse, right? Anyway, check out our little guy now – not so little anymore! Here he is at Sherwood Gardens, a now ritual springtime visit, as he … Continue reading →
