my sacroiliac hurts
Posted on | June 24, 2009 | No Comments
i can hardly bend and stoop right now but i’ve been to the chropractor and it’s been adjusted and now it’s just a matter of waiting for it to get better.
i have been working obsessively to design a new kind of necklace and really it’s been annoying at best. i just can’t work out all the technical stuff yet.
so i’ve not been in a great mood. i haven’t even been taking any pictures. maybe i’ll give the necklace crap up for a bit and take some cute photos of chloe. because she is always the more willing model.

i just got a new haul of weird little vintage things. now i need some motivation.
“thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes..”

i’m so grateful to have noah and chloe. somewhere amidst the bickering, bothering, crying, and general frustration of being a mom to two toddlers are moments of pure happiness.
the moment it left me

i think most people will see this image and think i mean my heart.
which is in part true. but i also mean innocence, hope, faith and my ideas on how everything in the world worked.
i remember when it left and i’m pretty sure it looked just about like this.
oh if…

photo recovery
Posted on | April 7, 2009 | No Comments
that’s what i’m doing right now because somehow all of my pictures from chloe’s party are gone. deleted. i have no idea how it happened. first i cried a little and then i started trying to get them back somehow. i’m running a recovery program right now but so far i’m getting the pictures back that i erased beofre we left to make room for the new pictures. doesn’t feel promising.
i’m frustrated. i know nothing went wrong with taking them because i constantly flipped through them like i always do. maybe buttons got pushed after i put it away. i don’t remember if i turned it off. i probably didn’t. i don’t really feel hopeful.
chloe’s 2!

chloe is 2 years old today. i can’t see how that could be possible because she was clearly just born.
i could not be happier that i scrapped the idea of killing myself over a big party and took them to chuck e. cheese instead. we picked up her dora cake and that was pretty much the extent of our involvement.
we invited the 3 “kids” she loves. one of which is 13. the kids -with the exception of the 13 year old- LOVED it. it was way more fun if you had a little kid to follow around and play with. but since there was a total of 4 little kids, there were parents and grandparents that looked like they would rather be anywhere else doing anything else.
the place was loud. it was annoying and disorganized. i had a great time. we are going back for noah’s birthday. the days of the huge parties may have come to an end.
missed them

yesterday i had the first alone day that have had in a very long time. no noah, no chloe, no husband. just me and you know what? it wasn’t that great. the highlight of the day was when emily stopped by and brent showed up with lunch. i watched a movie from start to finish and even knew what it was about. there was no demanding, no yelling, no tantrums. but also no hugs, no crazy stories, no kisses.
i went for a long walk around town with my camera-something i used to do all the time by myself. but i missed the wonder and magic of seeing things through noah and chloe. i missed explaining things.
overall, i felt lonely and am happy to have them bugging and pesting already this morning.

we went for a walk in the park yesterday and fed the ducks. we raced and they picked tiny flowers from the blooming tree branches. chloe couldn’t reach and noah would proudly place them in her hands. it made her so happy. i love to watch them together.
it was a little chilly but we don’t mind and that usually insures that we have the places we like all to ourselves.
i need to get my other stroller out of storage though because oh. my. these kids are getting hard to push in our long double one. the stroller that converts from a bike trailor is so much easier to push. my bad wrist is aching.
we are enjoying these warmer and brighter days.
noah planted some flower seeds in cups a bit ago and they are growing into little green plants. he is so excited. when he first saw the teeny stems and leaves he said “it’s a miracle!”.
chloe’s almost 2 photoshoot

i always like to take a nice new photo of the kids for their birthday party invitations. so we grabbed a couple things, put a dress on her, added a clippy and headed upstairs. she wanted nothing to do with it until i let her have one of my vintage cameras (n & c are crazy for those things) to “cheese” me back. i didn’t really get a nice headshot-save that for another day…but i got some pictures that i love…of chloe being so very chloe.
