One can say many things about AJ and his life so far. He’s been to lots of countries, he’s met lots of people and he tends to be a mellow, happy kid – though not of late, with a cold and teething, alas. One thing that all can say with 100% confidence is that he […]
‘Cause that’s just how he rolls — as you can clearly see by his shirt ! 🙂 Best wishes to all, whatever you’re celebrating this weekend. xxx K, M and AJ
Well, it’s happened, our baby is no longer a toothless, drooling infant. He’s now a “tiny bit of tooth showing” drooling infant! When I picked him up a daycare yesterday Carileen his main provider told me “he has a tooth showing.” “How exciting,” I thought, and I went over to see. He and I played the […]
Yes it’s true: as our boy gets bigger, we try to keep exposing him to new and exciting things. Let me clarify, age appropriate new and exciting things — we will not take him bungee jumping or skydiving any time soon. It was lovely weather here the weekend of March 28th, and so I put the […]
If you’ve been paying attention, then you’ll have noticed something: the boy keeps getting bigger. I’m serious. When he popped out — with some pushing on my part, and yes, I’d still like credit — he was a scrawny wee little guy with spindly legs and bug eyes. We feared we would break him if […]
We did it! Instead of taking the boy out of the country to see new things, we took him to the other coast, the West Coast, or the Left Coast as those too kewl for skool sometimes call it. We had a great trip – we saw lots of our friends in the Bay Area, […]
Well, it’s happened – our baby is officially halfway through his first year today. I can’t believe it’s been six months. Everyone always says “enjoy it, it goes fast”, and while we were slogging through those brutal first three months, I kept thinking “fast?!?! What kind of evil and deluded person calls this fast?! I’ll […]
It’s true, we haven’t blogged in awhile. We’re aware of the issue and we’d like to fix it, but that would require more time, and that’s one thing that seems to be in very short supply lately. I’m back at work pretty much full time now, Mike’s been at work full time since week 3 […]
For those of you who pay attention to politics, you may have heard that there was an inauguration on January 20th. The inauguration took place in our Nation’s Capital, which is Washington DC, which also happens to be where we live. The next logical question would be: did we attend? Well, mostly no, but a […]
We get many comments about how totally cute Jackson is and “oh those blue eyes. Where do those eyes come from?” Well I tell you, you can get round many things, but genetics always gets you in the end. *Line is from the ee cummings poem Buffalo Bill Buffalo Bill’s defunct who used to ride […]
