Christmas with Seanie's family was a little early this year. We celebrated it on Sunday the 22nd, instead of on the 25th or 26th as we have in years past. It was a pretty good day, albeit a very long one ( Read more... )

Seanie and I went over to Terry and Rhi's to sneak a peek at the bookshelves of the twins. Now that the kids are finally getting old enough to appreciate a good picture book, we want to get them some fun ones for Christmas - but obviously, repeat titles must be avoided ( Read more... )

This text from Rhi really made my night:

"At breakfast this morning we were talking about phones and out of nowhere Liam says: 'Suzi has Uncle Sean's penis.' Thought you might like to know that their Uncle and Aunt are always on their minds....WHAT ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday Liam and Arlo!

So I’m rushing out the door this morning, as usual, when my Mom mentions that Seanie called. Rhi’s water broke!

OK, I think, but I have to drive to work now. I’ll call him when I get there. When I run into the office, practically sprinting so I can get my timecard punched before 8:01, the general manager pokes his head out and calls, “Sean called ( Read more... )

I went over to Terry and Rhi's house again today. Unlike my last visit, we did a lot more baby-focused projects today like putting baby clothes away in the nursery, setting up the diaper changing station and the like. We managed to clear a lot of stuff out of the baby room so that it will actually be usable when the babies arrive...but there's ( Read more... )

I spent most of today trying to help Rhi get her house ready for when her twins are born.  At most,  we have about a month until the babies are born, but I suspect they'll probably come sooner.  (Twins are usually preemies, as I understand things.)

Today was mostly shuffling things around.  I carried empty storage boxes downstairs, where they'd be ( Read more... )

Rhi had a baby shower today.  It's her second one - first one was hosted by her mother - but I figure she's having twins, so two baby showers makes sense.
I was pretty late, even though Jeannie was kind enough to come into work early.  I had to run home and wrap up a copy of The Cat and the Hat.  See, the gift I had *actually* gotten for Rhi's belly ( Read more... )

I knew this year wouldn't be a "real" Dicken's Fair when I woke up and couldn't be bothered to dress up in a Victorian costume. I wasn't feeling up to it; my throat was sore with the itchy beginnings of a cold. I pulled on jeans and my black-and-white Katwise coat and was ready to go ( Read more... )

I went to Seanie's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Spent most of the afternoon sitting on a couch with Rhi, who is massively pregnant and can't stand for more than a few minutes. In addition to Sean's brothers and us girls, his parents, his uncle and aunt and their son, wife and grandchildren were all there. It was a huge group. A little ( Read more... )
