Shadow portrait

“I’m walkin’ on my shadow, I’m walkin’ on my shadow,” says the lil’ monkey whenever the sun shines from a fortuitous direction. This time we had fun making letters of the alphabet with our bodies.
If parenthood all goes downhill from this point onward, I wouldn’t be surprised, since I can’t imagine much [...]

Theater lover

It was a jam-packed and fun-filled weekend. On Saturday the beloved and I celebrated Ten Years of Commitment with an all-day, kid-filled party, complete with revised! and updated! vows. I’m not sure what got me more misty-eyed: hearing what my life’s love had to say to me before a clutch of our dearest [...]

We met a handful of great women through our (lesbo) childbirth education class. Like many such groups, ours stuck together post-birth, and we’ve cohered for over two years as a tight-knit clot of parents that has met, with few exceptions, every month.

Our kids are all relaxed buddies, and as planned, they now [...]

Lil’ Monkey: There’s a funny thing about apples.
Baba: Oh yeah? Tell me about it.
LM: The skin gets in my teeth: that’s the one thing. And the other thing is the funniest thing, is it makes a crunchy sound. “Kcchk.” Like that. That’s the funniest thing.
I think it’s the funny thing [...]

And so the three-week full-time Babarama childcare spree draws to a close. Next week resumes a somewhat more balanced mix of Mama and Baba childcare, and with it, a more balanced mix of words with images at this here blogular pit stop.
Did I love being with these two people all day long, [...]

The lil’ peanut followed in his sister’s footsteps yesterday at the Fourth of July BBQ chez DadDad’s retirement community, smiling brilliantly in the face of whosomever looked at him and charming ‘em by the baker’s dozen. The ladies, they couldn’t get enough of him.

    Lesbian Dad 101

    Hieroglyphics alert! LD recently made the jump to WordPress 2.5.1, with which came hieroglyphics (–) everywhere in the archival material. I've weeded a coupla dozen posts, and continue to do more when I have time, but please be patient 'til I git the mechanic to git the rest of it outta here. Shouldn't be too long.

    Other maintainence work:Whilst I figure out how to make the best use of spiffy blogroll widgets and the new Links page, links on this home page will be a-shufflin' a bit. Good news: more of 'em, better organized (I think).

    Lesbian Dad Lesbian Dad is written by a parent who answers to the name "Baba" and works toward a world in which amor does indeed vincit omnia.

    Still curious? You'll find a ton more on the About page. Baffled by the lingo? Peruse the Glossary. For the proper immersion experience, I highly recommend a visit to the Best of LD.
