It has been busy.  I would write more, but I will take this small sliver of time after the boy is asleep and before I am to work on 2 and 10. March is one of my most favorite ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/892 My family and I are just getting back into the swing of things after a big wonderful wedding weekend (such big adventures can be tiring for tiny boys!).  Upon returning home we ate some lazy meals, watched a movie or two, went hunting for our camera (we left it at ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/878 February 19, 2007 Just one dollar (two for both of us) bought an afternoon of summertime, canaries and orange trees. (thanks for the suggestion, Bri) http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/853 Today, Reed took an honest to goodness nap.  A real nap.  A nap longer than half an hour.  A nap at home.  Not in the car.  Not on a walk.  A nap outside of my arms.  Off the rocking chair.  Just him sleeping.  On his own.  Two (two!) hours. I made ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/869 February 12, 2007 It's official. I am engaged to Adam Lloyd Whitlock: owner of my favourite smile. I am super excited. A lot of people are a bit confused about why it's so fast. I don't have any superb, dynamic reason to give them them, I just know that I'm ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/846 Today is snowy.  Not December snowy: the sort of snow that makes you want to strap on a snowsuit and jump and run and roll in it.  It is February snowy: the sort of snow that you want to watch from the warm side of the window with some cinnamon ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/865
