 valerie -- July 24th, 2011Maia has been through a flurry of 5-year checkups the past week. At her dental appointment, she received some welcome news. One of her bottom teeth is just a teensy bit loose. Of course, that makes the prospect of a visit from the tooth fairy that much closer to being a reality. Oh joy! Almost [...] valerie -- March 27th, 2011At the farmer’s market this morning one of the farmers was wearing a shirt with a forest being chased by a bulldozer.

Elise is [...] valerie -- May 5th, 2009Three statements that Maia has made that tickled me: After music class Monday: “I’m sick with freckles and need to go to the doctor.” Looking down the elevator shaft (the crack between the door and the car): “That’s where the mice live.
