Offspring

Monday, August 30th, 2010You may not know this, but it is a crime against nature for a child to arrive in the world to a home where the tubs under his parents’ bed have not been recently evaluated. A home without neatly organized bathroom drawers? Equally egregious. Most shocking of all? Arriving in the world when your mother’s file drawer [...]
Baby Registry
Friday, August 27th, 2010We are 32 weeks into this 40 week adventure, which means only 8 weeks (ish) until the little man makes his appearance! Thank goodness. He’s making my stomach HUGE and I’m ready to walk up stairs again without considering it serious calisthenics.
It has been a very busy summer between travel and both of our jobs, [...]
Nothing much
Friday, August 13th, 2010There is nothing much to report from our neck of the woods, apart from an impending heat wave over the next five days. The doctor visit for week 30 went well today, and the little dude decided that it would be entertaining to sleep with a foot poking out in a big lump last night… [...]
Monkey Butt
Sunday, August 8th, 2010Allosaurus is one lucky little dude.
So am I. I grew up with 3 grandmothers, 2 grandfathers, and a great-grandmother for my entire childhood. Most of us lived in the same area, so I saw them all the time. And as for the grandma and grandpa who lived far away? We got to go on spectacular [...]
Eggplants (International)
Monday, July 19th, 2010Last week, we had pasta alla norma for dinner one night. This is a scrumptious dish with tomatoes and eggplant and fresh basil and whatnot. I’m not telling you this just so you can be wierded out that we voluntarily eat eggplant; we’ll return to this pertinent fact later.
Last week, I also [...]
Home again
Sunday, July 11th, 2010We are home again! For those who didn’t know, we took the week off from work and met Keith’s parents in Colorado Springs for a lovely 5 days of hiking and eating and eating some more. Before you ask: there was no particular reason we chose Colorado Springs. Seriously. It was [...]
Boy or Girl?
Saturday, June 5th, 2010If you haven’t already heard the news (and believe me, the phones have been humming faster than I can call people myself), we are having…
A BOY!
This probably shouldn’t come as a surprise when given the overwhelming number of men on both sides of the family. (I myself am the first girl in three generations!) But [...]
Spokane
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010For once, we have not been updating the blog because we have been doing so many things! Most importantly, we spent the holiday weekend in Spokane. Things to know:
We stayed with Josh and Mackenzie. Translation: we ate a lot of really good food, played board games late every night, and goofed off with the kitties. [...]
Big Mama & Big Daddy
Monday, May 17th, 2010Keith and I have a wonderful friend who grew up in the South. When I told her about the epic quest to find unique names for the baby’s grandparents (keep in mind: 2 grandmas, 2 grandpas, 3 great-grandmas, and 2 great-grandpas — whew!), she told me about the time she met an ex-boyfriend’s mother. The woman immediately said, [...]
Whoops
Sunday, May 9th, 2010If you are going to call/email and ask, “How did you celebrate your first Mother’s Day?”, let me save you the trouble. I celebrated by taking my child to work with me! Given the quantity of wonderful moms that work at my library, I opted to let them spend the day at home with their [...]
