To anybody who has given the kid a gift – I apologize for the lack of thank you note. I am at work at my computer with a stack of thank you cards ready for the writing. And there they sit each day, with their disapproving glares. The designer-thank you cards are beautifully printed – [...]
Dear Harrison, You’re sitting on your pop’s lap right now, while he tries to finish up work on the computer. You are content to sit and watch him work – following the moving objects and lit up screen. Your dad’s legs are naturally shaky making for the perfect baby-bouncer. We’re a little concerned with how [...]
Thank you to Albert and Tari who knew I was chomping at the bit – so, got samples of Kylie’s wedding photos up on their blog already. Allowing me to have one more day to write my “3-month letter to the kid” and post a link to their site instead so that the internet can [...]
Began interviewing nannies today. A little sad. A little excited. Part of me wants to take on all incoming work – get fully back into the swing of things – and design hard-core 8 hours a day. Part of me wants to sell our house, our rentals and all of our earthly positions and move [...]
I’m sitting at my parents’ dining room table surrounded by flowers that are dropping from their stems one by one – turning from “perfect white” and “ivory” to “baby-$#!^ brown”, parasols with “antique blue” ribbon tied at the handles and a group of people who look as though they went to one-too-many keggers this past [...]
…love, food and drink, friends, family… and loads of presents. (photos of festivities here – I will get some photos up as soon as I’m done writing my speech for Kylie’s wedding this Saturday…any help with that will be graciously accepted.) Last weekend the kid got his baby shower – or “sip and see” as [...]
Is he eating enough? Is he eating too much? Is he too short? Should we be worried about that yet? Is he sleeping too much? …I know – just rude to even mention it… Is he happy? Should we let him cry more? Is his skin loosing it’s softness? …he’s growing up so fast… When [...]
So, I spent most of the day yesterday stalking the Chowanecs. OK, so it’s not technically stalking when they are good friends and they invite you over, but, still. John pulled off a semi-live-blogging of the birth of their second child. A son! Dylan. The sex was a surprise – either way we were set [...]
3:06pm HE arrived! Dylan Oliver Chowanec – “Doc” – made it. We are very, very happy for the Chowanec family, which gained a member today. Listening: Elvis Perkins
No, not ours – not even close. But, the Chowanecs are in hospital and the sequel will be joining us here on dry land any minute. John is semi-live-blogging so we can follow along. Listening: Black Kids
