No, we’re not talking about rootbeer. We’re talking about the adorable (if I do say so myself) Knight children, Addie & Westen. As I mentioned before, we had been making some small attempts to tell Addie about the baby that was coming. We pretty much assumed she didn’t really understand, and I was steeling myself [...]
I’m a little overdue on this, but given that I’m learning to adjust to having more than one kid in my house, I’d say I’m doing okay. About a month ago (Tuesday, July 20), I had my 38-week pregnancy appointment with my doctor, and he talked me into scheduling an induction for the following week. [...]
It’s been awhile since I’ve done an Addie update, and she’s had a lot going on in her young little life. So here goes! Addie is officially (though, it seems like she always has been) a Daddy’s Girl. I don’t think there’s anyone she loves spending time with more than her dad. She wants to [...]
We hope you’re enjoying as much candy… …and lovely springtime weather, like we are. What a beautiful holiday this is, on so many levels. Happy Easter!
I know it’s been a long time (almost five months, actually), but I have to post these photos. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and this year we actually did Halloween-time stuff I’ve always wanted to do. I.e., visit the pumpkin patch and pick out our own pumpkins. Okay, we did it the day [...]
At some point over last summer, Mel let me borrow a book called “The Physick of Deliverance Dane.” Uncharacteristcally for me these days, I actually started reading it. AND I finished it. (I used to be a great reader…now I can’t really say that, and I’m lucky to finish something I start. Yeah, sometimes I [...]
I know, it’s been months. Three-and-a-half, to be more precise. Believe me, I have a full essay written in my mind entitled “Why I Suck at Blogging,” because I’ve given that topic more thought than I’ve given actual blog-post planning. Counter-intuitive, I know. But, like my two novels (yes, count them, two) I’m working on, [...]
We’ve been watching Christmas movies for a few weeks now (Addie still loves Toy Story, but Polar Express is a new favorite…someone suggested that perhaps she just likes Tom Hanks’ voice!), and I almost forgot that we hadn’t had Thanksgiving yet! Last month, I took Addie to Boston with two of my sisters (Melissa and [...]
We’ve had a pretty busy couple of months. I’ve got a lot of posts to do about all the trips we crammed in during September and October, but before I finally launch into those over the next few days, I thought I’d start with documenting one of Addie’s current interests. Her ducks. Addie generally loves [...]
Wow. I really am a failure of a blogger. Oh, well…here’s a (photo-heavy!) snapshot of our last couple of months: Over the 4th of July, we had an impromptu reunion in San Diego with these guys: (The whole Knight clan!) Addie particularly enjoyed spending time with these guys: (All the Knight grandkids!) And Jesse enjoyed [...]
