It’s all Fiddler all the time around these parts

[Ed. note: Sadly, my usually pinched time is getting pinched-er with some upcoming work deadlines, and it will stay that way for a while. I've had to punt to next week my reflective second part to the whole back-to-school transition dealie that I thought I'd post here today. It deserves more massage time than I've been able [...]
A brief ditty about time
13 Comments Published August 15th, 2008 in Baba familias, Mostly a picture.The kiddles, they love them some Wood Nymph!
After four years of piloting our family into the uncharted waters of trio, then quartet, the beloved and I have come to realize how critical time away is. With two such dependent dependents, we are like camels. We go for days and days on a wee dram of [...]

I don’t come to my sister’s cabin nearly as often as I could. Not nearly as often as I should. It’s beautiful; it’s above 5,000 feet elevation; it abuts a state park and is just a few miles from a beautiful national forest. She has always extended me and mine an open invitation.

14 Comments Published July 28th, 2008 in Baba familias, Re: the lil' monkey.My recent braggy fit about our daughter’s budding literacy might have left the impression that we’ve rushed out and purchased a set of kid-sized Latin flash cards. We are thrilled for her, and cliché-proud, and daily taken aback by what goes on in her feverishly active little brain. But we’re more tempted by [...]
Trolling for insight on the MommyBlogging question
10 Comments Published July 9th, 2008 in Baba familias, Metacommentary.Take five minutes and let me know what you think! Okay, seven!
There is o so much to the topic of “MommyBlogging,” which the astute readers among you will notice I have a hard time not placing gently in quotation marks. The more I read about it all, the more the topic splits into [...]
Don’t let the bucolic photographic moment fool you, though. It was melt-your eyelashes off heat; littler kid awoke from his nap en route and was wacked for the rest of the day, so overtired that it took 1.5 hrs to get him to go to sleep at bedtime; plus you don’t want to know [...]
A few observations on the day, in bullet point fashion, so as to encourage a modicum (but only a modicum!) of brevity. And a few pictures, too (hundreds more at Flickr, here).
[Above: Just a few of the hundreds of bikes on which dykes led off the parade, hours earlier. More DOB info [...]
