Landon

A Special Trip to New York City For a Special Little Boy

November 2, 2010

Happy 4th Birthday, Landon! My baby turned 4 on Saturday! Can’t believe it. It’s official: my boy is growing up waaaay too fast. L’s gift to me — he threw up all over me during the night. Motherhood is so glamorous. After L opened his present — and Don and I exchanged our presents because [...]

Not Me! Monday — Sickness and Health

March 15, 2010

I did not forget that it’s Not Me! Monday today. Last night I was almost ready to write the post early, but then Landon woke up at 11 p.m., played a little, and threw up all over Don (“Sweety! Can you come here?!”). I don’t know what it was, and this is the first time [...]

Cute Video of Landon Playing Guitar and Singing to His Teddy Bear

December 8, 2009

My first video on Dagmar’s momsense, I’m exited! This is one of my favorite videos I have shot of Landon so far. It was shot in our old home. He is about 2 1/2 years old here and is serenading his teddy bear, Manhattan. Since Landon has always been very musical and loves guitars, Don [...]

Landon’s 3rd Birthday Party and Frugal Tips

November 5, 2009

I am almost done with unpacking/repacking/shoving things under the bed. This place is starting to look like I want it to look — sans the drapes and the color on the wall in the living room. And oh, wouldn’t it be nice if I could get Don to finally fix that rod in my closet? [...]

Storytime and Craft Hour at the Library

September 19, 2009

This is the first time in months that we have been to the free storytime and craft hour at the library. They just started the program again after the summer. The class was packed! At first, Miss Linda sings a few songs, and then she reads three books while the kids eat a snack. Landon [...]

Not-So-Frugal Sunday: The Grange Fair

September 14, 2009

We killed a couple of hours today at the Grange Fair in Yorktown. We went for the first time last year and had so much fun with Landon that I wanted to go again this year. Unfortunately, as you may know, these fairs are ridiculously expensive. It cost us $12 to park, $30 in tickets [...]

Extended Co-Sleeping

September 13, 2009

Since we moved, I have been sleeping in Landon’s new big-boy twin bed with him. And Daddy is sleeping on the couch. Our new bedroom needed to be painted, so we don’t have our bed set up yet. I think that is going to finally happen tomorrow, since I finished painting the trim today. Honestly, [...]

A Fun Afternoon With the Bleasdale Clan

August 19, 2009

I would love to work on my next long blog post, but I have to work tonight. I make the milk in this house — and sometimes also the money :) So I thought I’ll just share some pictures I took last Sunday. We spend the afternoon at aunt Lisa’s house with the large Bleasdale [...]

Hitting Milestones – Great for Baby, Tough on Mommy

July 26, 2009

A girlfriend, already? I’m adjusting to you going to “cool” (preschool)! Landon is now almost two years and nine months old, and it is becoming more and more apparent that he isn’t my little baby anymore. I am trying my best to deny/ignore/dispute/negate/reject/contradict/disclaim this fact, but it is true. My sweet little boy still sleeps [...]

Traveling With a Toddler — Day 5: Train Ride, Farm Life, and More Vacuums

July 12, 2009

Recounting the fifth day of our Germany trip: One of my best girlfriends, Danja, who I have known since we were three, invited us to come over for breakfast. We had a nice time with her and two other girlfriends. I am always the one behind the camera, so I am glad I asked Danja [...]

Recounting the fourth day of our Germany trip. Please bear with me here, I have so many great pictures of this day. I hope you enjoy them!

July 4, 2009

Recounting the third day of our Germany trip: After breakfast, Landon and I drove with Nani to the local supermarket to get our usual stash of candy and chocolate we always bring back to America. I couldn’t help but take a picture of L in front of the Wurst (sausage) section and the long aisle [...]

Computer Trouble — I Don’t Like Macs!

June 20, 2009

I give up. I am not able to easily download and size pictures from here, I look forward to sharing them with you when I am back in New York. Here is just one of Landon asleep on my parents’ sofa. He was very tired from two days of running around in the country. Landon [...]

How I Became an Attachment Parenting Mom

June 4, 2009

People sometimes ask me why or how I became an attachment parenting parent, and that made me wonder myself. The truth is that I never planned to be an attachment parent, I didn’t even know about it until Landon was about two years old. It wasn’t until a few months ago that I finally made [...]

Saturday in Review — Irish Festival and Hudson Park

May 26, 2009

We had such a nice day on Saturday, I thought I’d share some pictures. After we woke up, Don told me that his friend Richard, who married us, is giving a mass at an Irish festival not too far away from us, so we decided to see him. We got ready and were in the car before [...]
