When we dropped Jackson off at daycare this morning I saw this on the wall at the Holocaust museum -which is the building next to the daycare center. I thought it was really cool and I exclaimed with excitement: “Look Mike, it’s an art installation using chromosomes to show the loss of human life and […]
It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for: we have finally posted all of our India photos. And when I say all, I mean there are A LOT of photos. We’ve broken them down into sub-folders so as to clarify and not overwhelm. No guarantees that we’ll be successful with that however. We also intend […]
So we just spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Graven, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Nathan and Cousin Henry in NJ. A fun time was had by all. I really have lots more to say about it, but the cab is coming to take us to the airport to go to India, so let’s just use […]
So for Jackson’s first Thanksgiving we decided to shake things up (we usually don’t go anywhere for Thanksgiving since travel is a mess and in case you hadn’t noticed it’s on a Thursday which is not the most convenient day for a holiday what with the whole work thing and all) and go to Minneapolis. […]
Just a quick note that Jackson and I voted in his first presidential election today! To celebrate, he wore his dad’s 1976 bicentennial hat and posed for some photos. Too sexy! And bonus- unlike the Stripey McStriperson outfit, this hat has vertical lines and is therefore more slimming. Thanks to Tim for the fashion advice […]
Boo and Happy Halloween from us and our little monkey! Okay, there was your extra Halloween excitement. I hope you all can contain yourselves 🙂 A special shout out and thank you to Lara and Alex who sent us the monkey costume now that their little monkeys have out-grown it. We were happy and honored […]
So our dear sweet baby boy is 2 months today. I can’t believe it- it seems both longer and shorter. I guess that’s what happens to time when it’s suddenly chopped up by feeding and crying and changing a small person, it starts to ebb and flow in its own type of rhythm. How did […]
As you may have noticed, when two shutterbugs procreate, then seem to take a lot of photos. Jackson cannot complain someday there are no photos of him as a baby. I think we’re averaging about one photo every 5 seconds give or take. We are, however, struggling to figure out how to post them in […]
So I was working on a 6-week update last week when it was week 6 (yeah, I know, I’m a stickler for time and date and keeping them real, what can I say) and then last week was kinda brutal so it didn’t end up happening. Mike was outta town, I was a temporary single […]
So today is the 3 week anniversary of bringing home our little bundle of joy/spit up demon – both are accurate nicknames, it just depends on what mood the boy is in. Every day is an adventure- we have good days where he naps a lot and is a good mood and looks at books […]
