Last Mother’s Day, in
utero- now in my arms,
you made me a mom.

February 19, 2018

Something emerges
from deep in laundry pile- heat
lovin’ hobgoblin.

January 25, 2018

Up at dawn, roused not
by song of a lark- baby’s
dulcet morning song.

January 19, 2018

My laundry monster
may steal socks, but doesn't wear
them- wee feet, fierce teeth.

January 13, 2018

Another rainy
day could be dull- we’ll have fun,
your first swim lesson.

January 10, 2018

You’re especially
enchanting in your sleep- peace
envelops the house.

January 7, 2018

Weekend’s grinding to
a halt, rain lashes windows-
just want to hold you.

January 5, 2018

A new book, a new
adventure together- we
read by the warm fire.

December 18, 2017

Your hands and feet are
tiny, yet were much smaller-
baby less each day.

December 11, 2017

Laundry is so much
more fun to do with someone
else- play hide-and-seek.

December 10, 2017

Reading this sweet book
about kittens, by the fire-
life comes full circle.

December 5, 2017

Ready to embark
on a new adventure with
you- time is flying.

December 1, 2017

More difficult than
being a trial lawyer-
reward much richer.

November 12, 2017

I remember some
books, others new- together
we read, learn, and grow.

October 23, 2017

A quiet moment,
when you’re finally sleeping-
I think I’ll doze too.

October 19, 2017

Adult feet are gross,
but baby feet are so sweet-
give me one more dose.

September 19, 2017

First chestnuts of fall,
new texture for little hands-
baby's first autumn.

September 11, 2017

Grab some shut-eye here
and there, people say it gets
better- I wonder. . . .

September 2, 2017

Your hand in mine, we'll
conquer the world together-
one step at a time.

September 1, 2017

In this together,
pledge you’ll bear with me- babies
don’t have manuals.
