Mmmmm. Smooch will be five when we are done here, too, and I wonder – how will I be able to leave this house? I’m so place-sentimental, probably because I didn’t have that ONE special place as a kid, that I want to take a million pictures and videos and not lose a second of what makes this place our home. Of course, I ended up with great memories of several homes (and I can still close my eyes and “walk through” the layout of each of them), so maybe that’s not so bad either.

Yes, these are the days for sure. I still listen to that song all the time. It was on the radio when Matt and I started dating. I feel like these are the days all over again, and they’re even sweeter this time around.

In a few months you’ll be up to your ears again in diapers, so savor these days – each blessed one of them. Trust me. I’ve been there, 3 times.

I think you just cured my Alice Cooper/Beatie Boys ear worm with the sublime 10,000 Maniacs. Thank you!

It sounds like a complicated feeling for you. You want the time to savor her, but you also are restless in the inertia.

Ah that question, that matter of want after needs are met. It’s necessary to know though, don’t you think?

What a lovely post. It seemed very cozy to me. And I remember that song! I love Natalie Merchant and have seen her in concert from 10,000 Maniacs to her solo career.

Home for the Poo will always be where you and her father are.

Where ever you live.

Loved this post. It’s damn cold here too.
