Merry Christmas

in Uncategorized on 15/12/11

Minutes before these pictures were taken, Harper was rolling on the floor screaming because we wouldn’t let her wear her tennis shoes with the dress she’s wearing.  Meanwhile, we were telling Hadley to stop pulling her dress over her head.

I got them to smile by standing behind Jesse and yelling, “POOP!” as he took the picture.

You do what you gotta do.  When I write, “you,” I mean me.

    Those photos are great, and I can’t believe how big they look!! And I am not a stranger to the “poop” tactic either 🙂

    Funny. Did you make the dresses? The one Caroline was wearing that you liked the fuzzy trim on – twins with Erin. My MIL found a sale at Gymboree – they were so cute at church yesterday.

Hi! I’m Callie. I’m a writer and teacher living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I write Creative Nonfiction, and in my oldest daughter Hadley’s words, I “use my imagination to add a bit of sparkle to the story.” I’m a contributor for Coffee+Crumbs, Off the Page, Makes You Mom, and Relief Journal. My writing has also been featured on Art House America, Tweetspeak Poetry, Good Letters, and Altarwork, and in 2014 I was one of the cast members of the Listen To Your Mother DC show.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University, and I am working on my first book that will be published through TS Poetry Press.

When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth k When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth knock out during a baseball game. I was in the dugout, trying to make a butterfly in the dirt with my shoe. The batter, who’d hit not just a home run, but a grand slam, came running in and everyone cheered and so did I because I’d gotten really good at reading cues for when a good thing happens in sports. I even attempted a high five, and somehow I knocked my face into her batting helmet, thus spending the good part of that weekend summer day in the dentist’s office getting a root canal.

No teeth were lost in this latest incident, but I was lost in a bit of imagining on Sunday when I tripped and fell on Packard while running. I look like I’ve been in a bar fight and my shoulder looks similar to how Wesley’s looked after being attacked by an ROUS. 

But I’m going into work today, and when I told my boss I’m nervous about how I look she said, “It’s OK because you have a story,” and if that isn’t the best thing you could ever say to me, I’m not sure what is. 

So, here I am with a story. Thanks to all my friends and family who’ve been so kind and keeping me laughing.
