The other day Ronan tried to cut bread with a chef knife. Today he was able to turn on the stove and dishrag caught on fire. (Okay both grandmas should take deep breath, and try not to have anxiety attacks.) I saw the whole thing, Ryan was called and dishrag was promptly put under running water.

My new gray hairs need to be colored pronto and more kids safety gear has already been ordered via express delivery from Amazon.

I am also realizing that children and not age that are the main culprits of premature graying/balding.

we are boring!!!!

so its been about 6 weeks since chase was born. and i think that we are starting to settle into a routine and a new life…

- we have to get new baby-proof furniture… shelving, entertainment system you name it

- realized that i love the minivan. the other day we were able to fit: three adults, two carseat kids, strollers/baby paraphernalia and an entertainment system from ikea.

- we “eat out” about once per week, to introduce roni to restaurants. his restaurant behavior lasts for about 20 minutes so most of the time we are ready to leave as our food is coming. is that even considered eatting out?

and……. in my husbands mind….”why go out when we can sleep”

Mary had a f#&%ing little lamb

On Friday, Chase decided that he wanted out… right now. The contractions started at 5 am and by 5:45 I was singing expletive laced nursery rhythms. Upon hearing a very creative rendition of Mary had a Little Lamb, my husband started to get dressed – all on his own initiative. (From previous experience he knew that Mary heralded the real deal.) Four hour later Chase entered the world.

His brother, Ronan, is absolutely fascinated with the latest addition. He likes to pat Chase on his hands, his head and show Chase his treasures. I am so lucky to have such lovely boys.

We have set up a Boren family blog to showcase the whole family. Come an check it out.
