Not-Ever-Still Life with Girls
http://noteverstill.blogspot.com
I began this blog about our family life to remember all the funny stories, avoid forgetting the hard parts, and keep the grandparents and extended relatives entertained. I'm Not-Ever-Still (now known as NES), married to M, mom to two girls: E, born January 2006, and L, born December 2007. E has been a handful from day one and L is thus far her mellow counterpoint. But parenting them does not ever include a lot of sitting around! M holds a high-powered fancy downtown job, and keeps the appropriate hours that go with it and his Blackberry. I have a much cozier (read: less insanely demanding) position with the federal government. I love a good story. This might not always be one, but it's ours.
