Commonplace: We Are Still Here
http://commonplacemiller.blogspot.com/2009/11/we-are-still-here.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. We Are Still Here. So, having a toddler and an infant apparently make it harder to blog consistently. That's what I'm telling myself, anyway. And then I remembered that a post doesn't have to be long or involved or eloquent or interesting, though that last one helps, I suppose. It doesn't have to be timely, either, which is why I'm posting some pics from mid October, from our annual trip to the Avila Valley Barn pumpkin patch with the Rookses. We've been getting.

Commonplace: Volcano Story
http://commonplacemiller.blogspot.com/2010/07/volcano-story.html
Thursday, July 22, 2010. Hattie Rose dictated a story for Sarah today- her first ever original creation she wanted written down. It's sign she's following in her father's footsteps. It's also a sign of . well . here it is:. A large volcano. Spread out and burned! And the people was dead. And the bones. And the blood. And it's arms, and it's head. And it blowed down.". Ed note: "This rocks! Refers to the actual rocks flying out of the volcano, as in "These are rocks! Pride against the gods. Sound Your Hor...

Commonplace: June 2009
http://commonplacemiller.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 14, 2009. First and foremost, I'd like to note that I caught her. Literally. She was dropping toward the floor and I stuck my hand out and caught her like she was a softball. But a lot happened before that. Sarah and I had been planning a home birth. Hattie, after all, was born at home (yes, by choice), and by all accounts, she's turned out fine. At 2-years-old and counting, she's talking and walking and pretending to be a giant spider- all the normal things. Two weeks before her due date, S...

Commonplace: November 2008
http://commonplacemiller.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 13, 2008. Blood is a big expense.". I was never a little girl, so I can't confirm the claim that the almost-life-size S'mores FurReal pony from Hasbro will truly "fulfill every little girl's dream of having her very own pony.". My wife and I were walking through Costco the other day when we came upon the 3-foot-tall animatronic beast. It's a bit frightening in person, but the best part is the caution on the side, which reads: "Assemble completely before giving to a child.". The Burrill...

Commonplace: August 2009
http://commonplacemiller.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 8, 2009. August and Everything Before. As you may recall, this summer started with a baby. Matilda Jane joined the Miller family in May, wriggling and crying and kicking off a season of activity. All four of us went camping with my parents and four other families in mid-Ju. Hattie's favorite part of the day was the jousting, which also- I believe- was a bit of an anachronism. The knights autographed pieces of broken lance after the event. For a fee. That went toward care of t...Got to wa...

Commonplace: March 2009

Sunday, March 15, 2009. Sarah and I recently spent a lot of time in the hospital. I was there to keep her company and make sure she was getting the best care possible. She was there because she couldn't stop throwing up and had to have a constant stream of fluids via IV. I decided to look back over my notes. Among them:. If one more person says we need to let the virus run its course, I'm going to punch someone. Son to nurse: "She has a flap of skin on her lip. Do you have any scissors? Nurse to Sarah: "...
