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 [...]
A few weeks ago the lovely Stephanie aka Gadora Wilder aka Scrape Myrtle came over for the evening. She arrived early before adult-dinner-time for a glass of wine and to brave the almost-two-year-old infested waters. Harrison was smitten with her and asked if she’d care to share his grilled cheese with him. And right before [...]
A nonchalant email from my oh-so-big-city-cousin Meredith a few months ago reporting that they were going to be visiting Austin – that’s the capital of TEXAS, where… wait for it… REPUBLICANS have lived!!! – took us a bit by surprise. Regardless of the surprise we were excited to see them – it had been almost [...]
The Chowanecs were in town over the weekend and we threw a party for Harrison. A lot of fun was had by all. There were kid-friends. And adult-friends. And adult-friends holding kid-friends. And pretty girls. And cake. And bubbles. And the roll-catch-game with Stephanie. And swinging. And more swinging. And still more. And there was [...]
If you come to visit, I may take you out for a night of wine-drinking and for-no-reason-photo-taking at the Ghost Room and the Driskill Hotel where we will charm our way in without paying the cover, hide away in the back corner and talk all night about nothing at all. It was great to have [...]
While FUBALLLLLL is still firmly implanted in the kid’s brain as a worthy activity, a new one followed as an even longer lasting obsession. Elizabeth and her boyfriend Dave took H to the Children’s Museum where they discovered his apparent talent and love of every parents worst nightmare. Apparently he stayed and played the drums [...]
I’m not counting calories this holiday season – although, since I left my skates at home and have no plans to engage in any sweat-inducing activities for the next three weeks, I should be. So, this post from Livemom.com made me feel way better. Also – I just wanted to get that photo of me [...]
It’s snowing! Just a teensy, tiny, little bit. But, still it is snow. And it’s freaking cold! So, Marc made these for us. And they are lovely! Thank you husband and Smitten Kitchen! Listening: Lightning Dust
We had a lovely, lovely turkey day with Finn’s family. Absolutely one of the best t-day meals I have ever had. Thank you to you all for letting us crash. There was football on upstairs and while we were waiting for dinner H and I crawled up to take a peek. We were maybe in [...]
