I just joined facebook because I decided that I was doing too much bon-bon-eating and needed something productive to do with my days.

Dear dad,
In lieu of a gift this year - because let’s face it, one really should shower and brush ones hair in order to go outside of the house to shop - I’ve decided to write you a letter. And post it on the internet for you and all of the world (or the other [...]

While visiting the Chows this past weekend and getting to meet Dylan for the first time I was astounded at my inability to remember Harrison at that size. At two weeks old Dylan is the size of the newly-born Harrison. And he is TINY! TEENY-TINY! Just a little ball of baby.

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 it [...]

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 - [...]

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

Kara has been outdoing herself with gifts for the kid. I think because of the lack of knowledge around the sex of the sequel she is finding herself not able to buy anything but unisex clothes. This situation, albeit short-lived (she’s due any day now), is working out quite well for our little man. Not [...]
