I played for two teams for our last scrimmage of the season – the T-Birds and the Hawaiian Punchers. With the help of Sweet Hurt’s “magic tape” (Kinesio Tape) the knee held up and all was great – THANK YOU Sweet Hurt – if you happen to read this – I still owe you a [...]
About a thousand years ago I hyper-extended my knee in softball while running back to first base to avoid being thrown out by the pitcher. The meniscus cartilage was torn as was the ACL. I got a brace and stayed off it for a bit. Then I went to college where late-nights and a beer-drinking [...]
Saturday night found us at Bonnie’s house two-year-old-heaven for her husband, Josh’s birthday. Bonnie’s friend Mollie is another oh-so-talented photographer who took some totally covert shots of us enjoying our evening. Thank you Bonnie for the great night and Mollie for the great photos.

8:10am: No tears. Just an “OK – See ya mommy! Love ya!” as he rode away on his daddy’s bike. *** Now, on to more pressing matters. I need you to go to BlaseDesign.com and vote! Help me here people! This is SERIOUS!!! Listening: Watch Out For Rockets
When Auntie Kylies and I went to pick H up from school yesterday, we tentatively waited in the entry looking for him. He turned the corner to look outside and caught eyes with me from across the room. He was confused for a split second… then I could physically feel the relief and joy radiating [...]
I sent my kid off to preschool today to be raised by complete and total strangers. We have been talking about school… about how AWESOME it is… how there will be KIDS there! and GIRLS there! and you’ll get to have a nap with all the other kids… and there will be lunch – with [...]
Harrison met a new girl today. “Lucy. Has brown hair. Went in tunnel witha me.” Apparently Harrison spent some time in the tunnel and on the turtle at the park with Lucy. Stroking her hair and talking in a partially-coherent 2-year old language – according to Chelsea. Chelsea also reported that while H was flirting [...]
Bonnie rushed through the editing of our gallery. They turned out good despite the challenging circumstances – South Congress, 7pm, balloons = distracted, tired kid. The ultimate success of the evening is a direct result of Harrison getting his first ice cream cone – an entire adult-sized cone. Which he ate all of. And then [...]
Sinnerfold and Obi Mom Kenobi at Speed Skate practice. Photos by Obi Dad Kenobi. Me: “Mommy has to go to skating practice.” Harrison: “Mommy goes super-fast!” – swings his hands back and forth quickly – “schzoom schzoom schzoom schzoom” “SuperFast!” Listening: Sandwitches
We hired the excellent Bonnie Berry to photograph us once again, to commemorate Harrison’s second year. Here’s a little trip down memory lane to last years shoot: For this one we decided to brave the wild urban landscape and get gawked at down on South Congress. All dressed up with a few dozen balloons trailing [...]
