a little of this, and a little of that

I've been rather busy these past couple weeks as I've begun clearing out the little room in which Luther sleeps so that I can transform it into my sewing/crafting room. Realizing that the room will be there, but moments with my son will pass and never return, I spent my day out on the front porch with him. We enjoyed the fresh air, the sounds of the birds in the trees...watched squirrels play in the grass, and did some playing of our own on a lovely handmade quilt laid out on the planks that make up our old porch.

It was a day well-spent.

Time Warp

Whoever it was that said "A baby changes everything" certainly cannot, and should not, be considered a liar.

It's been over a month since my last post. Whaaaat? Apparently, this time of year is busy whether I am teaching or not.

Time has been flying by outside the walls of my home, but inside it seems as though it is simultaneously passing quickly and dragging. My beautiful baby boy will be 14 weeks old this coming Thursday, but there's no way that's possible. Mother's Day is in less than a week. My two-year anniversary is coming up in October. And at Christmas, Little Bird will be nearly 1 year old.
But these long, drawn out nights of up-every-two-hours, the inconsolable crying due to teething pain, the endless diaper changes (I think our record is 4 in one hour) are all what help to make time seem to stand still in here, not to mention the sudden explosion of laundry in every room of our home, grass that grew a foot and went to seed overnight, and my inevitable lack of productivity.

I have pictures to post, but Little Bird is between moods right now. He's making happy sounds, but has an odd look on his face.

It may be time for a diaper change.
