A wedding with some Martha Stewart

We’re back. We survived. When I returned from the wedding no one was crying. One was awake though. Apparently Robby had gone to bed fairly well, but then woke up a few hours later and when I wasn’t there he woke up completely, as though it was a new day or he’d just had a […]

I have a secret.

That’s what it feels like, like I have a secret that I keep from everyone I meet, from everyone who reads this blog, from our families, although my parents have some idea of what has been going on. I’ve alluded to it before – in my blog, in your comments, in jokes made to […]
