come on over here...

friends, the blog has moved! we've outgrown this place, are making room for more family--redecorating, putting up new dry wall and painting. (how do you like sky blue? grey?) but our home is your home, and so please come over. bring your friends.

as julie lee would sing: we got muffins and cheerios, someone to paint your toes...there'll be a child to hold, so come on over here: http://bananie.thehummingbird.com

love.

pee ess: to those of you who have me as a link on your site (gracias), can you change the link? many thanks...
(oh the annoying details of changing address.)

what we gots

unbeknownst to me (because of the whole i'm in london thing) my shannon had a baby on saturday evening.

would everyone please give a warm welcome to a tiny, 6 pound beatrice abbot quiggle!

i heard her voice tonight over the phone; from erie, pa to belfast she cried, and i get to meet her in four weeks.

i'm in love.

i have mascara raccoon eyes after hearing shannon tell, so matter-of-factly, a story of contractions, the epidural that would never be, push, don't push. a tall, weeping husband holding his little bean for the first time with shaky arms. thick black hair (that will probably all fall out) and the longest eyelashes. full lips. skinny legs.

home is where i want to be. pick me up and turn me 'round.
