Dorothy is looking coltish these days.

I’m fighting depression these days. It’s fierce! Like everything is foggy and down a well. I’m suiting up and getting shit done though. First off, I woke up today and I anticipate doing the same tomorrow, and so on. Second, even though it will be messy again before I can blink the floor is sorta clean now. Third, my husband is sympathetic and kind. Last but not least, my kids are pretty awesome. Also my cat #photobomber. #littlethings #depressionlies

It’s possible to knit and breastfeed at the same time.

Quine loves a good puppy-based phonics video. But then, who doesn’t?

Trixie drew these little doodles for Twine, who likes to draw with other people. The top one is a chicken, obviously, and the bottom one is Clem, with Harris nose and curly hair. I love the way Trixie draws.

Dorothy and my dad from last year. She loves him so much. She sometimes stops in the middle of playing and says “I love Grandad!”

Me: blasts ‘Blue Monday’
Faith: nods appreciatively
Me: I should make you a playlist of all the 80s New Wave you’d like.
Faith: That would be cool.
Me: I’d say “make you a mixtape” but I guess playlists are the new mixtape.
Faith: Haha, yeah.
Faith: What’s a mixtape?

Gilbert and Michele, who, almost exactly eleven years ago, caught him as he slid from my body one October evening. He’s grown since.

Dinner! Carrots for Michaelmas, of course.
St Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the Earth seeking the ruin of souls. Amen!

St Gabriel, pray for us!
St Raphael, pray for us!
St Michael, pray for us!

Tummy, seen below with Dorothy, is so named due to the pajamas on the left. Dorothy heard us say, “There’s a pig on your tummy!” so she inferred that the pig was named Tummy, and when she got a toy stuffed pig for Easter she named it Tummy.
Anyway, that is all to say that Dorothy is outgrowing her Tummy pajamas. It isn’t a problem though, because I have obtained entirely different pajamas also depicting a pig eating ice cream! Yay!
