OJ Im

ozzy loves the remote control! t.v., fan/lights, blueray, etc. he esp likes it when he pushes the buttons and it makes it do something. he will purposefully point the remote towards the t.v. to see if he can make things happen, MUCH to mimi's displeasure.
little man! he's 3 days away from being 11 months. this is the day after his haircut.

Osten Jaesoon Im had his first sip of orange juice today. i tried to catch it on video but something went wrong and only the first FOUR SECONDS of it got captured. i was very sad because it was SUCH a fun, cute moment.

rob was sitting in the family room eating a quick meal on the ottoman while watching some t.v. he had a glass of watered down o.j. to drink. ozzy came by, made the sign for 'drink' and reached for rob's glass of juice. since he's just a month away from being one year old, i told rob to go ahead and let him try it, figuring he wouldnt care for it anyway because 1. it was watered down and 2. acidic and tart. wrong as usual! he LOVED it. after the first slurp from rob's cup, he started doing his excited, impatient sound that he makes when he wants something and just cant wait to have it. i guess the best way to describe it is that it's like a pot smokers laugh. huhuhuhuh. channel bill and ted. i digress, he's signing drink over and over so rob gives him another sip. and another. and another. and each time he's thrilled to pieces with it. it went on for so long, i grabbed the video camera to record it (fat lot of good that did. we got a new fangled video cam recently that i'm still sort of figuring out...maybe i did something wrong. pro'lly should read the manual.)

when i went back to view the recording i was so so so sad to see that it didnt even record. :( doin' a crap job of keeping up with the second child! i'm really trying my best...i dont want to have ozzy ask me one day why there's more video/photos of mimi and the dog than him!

another moment that should have been documented was ozzy's first haircut. mimi, ozzy, kaya and i went over to our neighbor's house yesterday afternoon. she has a whole salon set up in her basement. went over and got ozzy's haircut. he was pretty good for the most part. by the end of it, he was getting antsy, but mimi helped out by making funny faces at him to keep him still. i wanted to take pics of the day, but came unprepared because i didnt know she was going to cut his hair the minute we popped over to check her schedule.

i now fully understand why the second kid has less photos. it really is that much harder to capture moments when you have two to be responsible for. i'll have to start planning in advance to have some extra hands on deck so i can be available to capture these moments!

Rainbow Magic Birthday (Mimi's 7th Birthday)

this year was a particularly difficult year to plan mimi's birthday.  after rob's dad became terminally ill, i didnt think it was good time for a party for mimi and her friends, so we decided it was best to skip a party this year and just have a quiet family dinner out.  then after dad passed and we slowly started to get back into our routines again, we all began to feel bad about not having a party for mimi, so we decided to have a party after all...although, a much belated party. mimi said she really wanted to have a party here at the house.  she really really really wanted it here, so i told her she could, if she kept it small.  since she was turning seven, i allowed her to invite seven friends. then i tasked her with thinking up a theme, and she finally settled on a favorite book series of hers called Rainbow Magic .  how perfect...each of the book sets in the series showcases 7 fairies, whether they be the rainbow fairies, the gem fairies, the party fai...

Gardening My Albatross

 sometimes when i think about giving up on life in general, and sitting like a blob all day, unbidden my mind fills up with images of a neglected garden turning brown, rotting, dying, and thats often enough motivation to keep going, if for no other reason than to prevent the desolation from becoming reality.  is it weird that when i think of dying one day, that i get sad knowing my garden will die when i am gone?  i dont think anyone else would go tend to it when i am no longer around.  i hope they will at least keep a plant or two in remembrance of me, but the little pollinator waystation i've been working for several years now to create will likely be razed and no more.

Growing Things

 it's crazy how long it's been since the last time i blogged here.  i spend so much time on insta and facebook, this blog has been largely ignored.  i'm on my second year of gardening and have been trying to maintaining a physical gardening log and failed at several attempts.  So i think this may be my best bet.  So here's the first gardening entry! Today is March 29th, 2022. Temps today were unseasonably cold and have been for the past three days.  Todays high temp was 47F and the low tonight will be 22F.  But should warm to the low 70s tomorrow.    This crazy cold and heavy winds yesterday blew down several daffodils.  many are leaning but upright enough that i left them and only pruned the ones that were knocked to the ground.
