Tuesday Morning Nick often wakes up before I do. Unlike me, he actually responds to his alarm clock and gets up when it sounds. I either sleep right through it or turn it off. He gets ready for work and before he leaves gently wakes me up in the morning. To put it mildly, I’m […]

An Impending Change
Notes from Home Plate has been going strong now for about two years. I first began it as a way to keep everyone updated when Nick and I moved to Boston.

Baby Grand, Baby Isaiah, and the Headache that Won’t Go Away
It has been two weeks now that our bathroom (at least half of it, that is) has been gutted. And, thankfully, since my last post, much progress has been made. Just last night, I came home and was pleased to find pretty white tiles in place, a new fan and light installed above the shower, […]
