Wake Up Call

Two friends have told me lately that they had their babies at 37 weeks!

It really freaked me out. I have so much to tell my replacement at work, haven't bought new maternity bras or new pjs with buttons down the front, no suitcase packed (literally or figuratively), the camera has gone missing, you name it!

So- you guessed it! I'm trying to get those things done now.

Los Pininos

We were looking for just the right name to capture the joy and struggle in balancing all the parts of our lives here in New Orleans, with our children, family, work, and selves. I couldn't help but think of Elliot working on his balance, and Tita (my mom) standing him up, gazing in his eyes, and slowly letting go, screaming "Pinino!" Sometimes he'd stand for a few, others he'd crash down...Whatever the outcome, Elliot's response was half-fear, half-thrill and all smiles. I'd like to think that's how we face our daily lives. We are Los Pininos.
