So the pedi that we saw (not our actualy pedi, it's a big practice) thought that it was probably some nasty bug bite and said not to worry too much about it. He felt around and said that he didn't think it was staph. But he didn't make me feel like some crazy mom, either. He actually said that he was glad we came in, that staph does go around in ( Read more... )

My name is Punk and I am the cutest toddler in the history of toddlerhood.

( See for yourself: )

(I'm a little behind on posts because this is the week of illness. Sorry!)

The Sick House received a lovely package this week from aminahfiddler. She knitted the most gorgeous and lovely dress for Punk and I can't wait to put it on her. Just holding it up to her was cute ( Read more... )

When I was in Boston the other weekend, stacy knitted Punk the most adorable little baby sweater that is so fashionable. I need to take pictures of it to show you. It is really quite awesome, especially the casual way she said, "Hey, I improvised the pattern in my head and kind of made it on the train today," because umm, I have no craft skillz and find ( Read more... )

1. Jennie FTW!

Punk takes Prevacid which, on our craptacular insurance, is a Tier 3 medication - $45/month. sassywoman said that she had some Prevacid packets that she received by mistake (her daughter used the solutabs) and she would send them to me. But HOLY MOLY, there is nearly 3 entire months worth! Jennie just basically handed us $135. WOAH! <3 <3 <3 ( Read more... )

1. Many many big huge thanks to yarnaddict and saldemonium for sending Punk some presents! The bib and the tshirt are really incredibly cute and we were totally surprised! Punk was surprised too but she probably won't get around to telling you. But thank you so much! You didn't have to do that ( Read more... )

First of all, thank you so much to drainbead for the presents. We have already cracked open the Wildfire sauce. :)

( Lots of whining over here. )

1. This year I didn't make a big 9/11 rehash post. It's not that I didn't remember. I spent most of the day remembering in my head... I just never made it to the computer for a big metapost. You can read my old ones here: 2001, more 2001, 2003, 2004, 20062. We got a lovely visit from Joe and Dorie today. They are in town from Boston (and Lowell) ( Read more... )

Once again, mollysummer72 has outdone herself. I thought you were just sending me more dom, but I was totally overwhelmed and surprised by the /adorable/ clothes and the swaddling blanket. How could you have known that we had started outgrowing the swaddle-me? And thank you for the coupons as well - we will put them to good use for sure ( Read more... )
