Tahoe trip 2010

We once again headed to Truckee (and Reno) to visit with our Bay Area (and Idaho) pals. Photos are in the gallery, and here’s what Jackson saw out the window of the 777 he and I were riding to San Francisco:

Action Jackson and the 18 month update

We now have the proof to support the theory (and sore backs): we have a big and healthy and rapidly growing boy! AJ and I went in for his 18 month appointment today. First off, he had to run around the waiting room picking up every copy of parenting and new baby magazine and declare […]

Hear Ye Hear Ye: Action Jackson turned 1 year old!!

Yes, it’s true. It turns out that if you’re born, and you are lucky enough to be healthy and someone is nice enough to take care of you for 365 days – even though you cry a lot and you aren’t potty trained and you tend to wake everyone up during the night screaming – […]

Action Jackson and the Very Boring 5 days at Home

Action Jackson and the Very Busy month of July

It’s pretty obvious that we haven’t been blogging much lately. We have brilliant ideas for blog posts, we’re all set to write them, and then, well, life happens. Keeps happening in fact. And keeps happening faster and faster, as our little chaos maker gains size and skills. But I’m getting ahead of myself. July started […]

DC chaos and Action Jackson becomes a bag-man

If you’ve seen the news over the past few days then you’ve probably seen that a crazy man walked into the Holocaust Museum on Wednesday and started shooting. Fortunately the other guards were able to subdue him. Unfortunately not until after he shot a guard who later died from the injuries. A horrible situation all […]

Something that will give you that extra edge that won’t cost you an arm and a leg? Well look no further. We’ve come up with one potential look that the men or the ladies […]

May Madness whereby Action Jackson visits 3 cities and is loved by all

As you probably have noticed, we haven’t posted anything for awhile. There’s a good explanation for this: May kicked our asses. From May 4 to May 16th, I was in NYC for the 17th meeting of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development: my first time away from the boy. And yes, it was hard, but […]
