The Taylor Family

So, Cadie hasn’t quite mastered the sippy cup yet, meaning things can get a bit messy. This evening she ended up with a layer of water covering the tray to her highchair. Henry, as he always does after I remove Cadie from the chair (and often before), stuck his head under the tray to clean [...]

I resigned from my job. It was a good two years. Last day is October 1 – seemed right to give plenty of notice under the circumstances. The circumstances are complicated. That’s not true. They are very simple. I don’t want to talk about it. Please send all librarian jobs my way, and all web [...]

Max and Henry are driving me insane. They’re driving me so insane that I don’t even want to talk about it.
So I won’t.
My mom pointed out that I hadn’t updated in a while, and I told her it was because not much was happening. Now that I think about it, though, that is actually totally [...]

You have learned so much in the last seven months. It’s absolutely awe-inspiring to watch how quickly you grow and learn.
You don’t crawl yet, but you roll and scoot and are constantly on the move. I put you to sleep with your head close to the right side of the crib, and every morning [...]

I uploaded photos to the Livestock (Max & Henry) and Arcadia (Weeks 29 & 30) galleries last night.
Here are a few of the livestock:

And some of my favorites of Cadie:
