a goodbye
September 7, 2010, 8:41 am
In the spirit of embracing the change that is almost upon us, we say goodbye to our sweet red and blue Huck blog. Blog? You've been a wonderful companion these last six years, but now it's time to move on to a place that runs a little more smoothly. For all you Huck Heads everywhere (but mostly for me), this blog will always exist to look at and smile as we remember the good old days. Goodbye to summer, goodbye to full-time stay-at-home-mom-with-a-kid status, goodbye sleeping in till 8AM ... and hello brand new life!Now someone give me a tissue.

virginia visit

No summer is complete for the three of us without a visit to Ronnie's and Dottie's in Winchester, Virginia over Labor Day weekend. This year's trip included our usual day at the apple orchard with a special guest appearance by Praying Mantis, lots of origami and paper airplane making, some new tricks from the magic store (and a candy necklace), singalongs with Troy's new green guitar, kite flying, discussing Lisbeth Salander, plenty of time spent on the back deck, school shopping galore (got all the materials needed for a good sack lunch!), a wonderful Quaker silent service on Sunday morning, a game of Hearts, a delicious stop at Rita's, and one last day at the swimming pool. As always Heather, Elliott, Bryce, Carter and Emma came for the day on Saturday and gave us extra cute picture opportunities (as well as lots of fun).Next stop: first day of school on Wednesday. I think we'll be ready.

PS: For some reason the comments on our blog are disabled, and because of this recurring problem (as well as lots of Viagra and Nike spam) we here at the Huck Blog will be unveiling a brand new one in time for Huck to begin kindergarten next week! So stay tuned ... and save your comments for later! [ add comment ]
kindergarten insomnia
September 1, 2010, 8:32 am
I woke up around four this morning with all kinds of anxiety about Huck's school lunch. He's five years old! How will he know what to do? Will he have time to eat? Will the chaos and excitement be too much? I laid in bed deciding that his current snack bags are not acceptable for all the cold and hot things I must pack for him each and every morning in order to avoid the line for the free school lunch. I have no idea how long I was awake worrying about how he will open all the containers by himself, but I do know that exactly one week from now he will be at his first day of kindergarten.And this is going to be a long seven nights.
