gauwlf-ing!

So, I promised to talk golf, when I brought up H’s latest obsession. So, here it is.
Marc’s parents were here last month. Grandpa, the committed golfer, has long grumbled about our lack of cable. He has a weekend routine that he needs to keep, which includes watching sleeping through golf coverage on TV each afternoon. [...]

visitors

Elizabeth and Dave are here visiting. So, we went out to breakfast and walked around south congress for some window shopping.

It is great to see you guys again!
Listening: Lightning Dust

sucker!

The kid woke up asking for cake. So, I gave him some.
No frosting though - duh! - I’m not a totally delinquent mother!
Marc’s parents are here and they bought some cakes and left them in the fridge right in front of the milk. So, every time I fill up the kid’s milk - he sees [...]

a night out in san francisco a few weeks ago

Beer.

Great friends that we so rarely get to see.

But, whom after years and years we never loose a beat with - we just start right back up with the stories, the laughs and mutual-admiration.
Movie. With Wine/Beer.
Back to the Chow’s place to stay the night sans kid while they are away (THANK YOU!). Jeremy and Annika [...]

the new nanny

We found her!
She started.
And is doing great.
But, since I don’t have permission to post all of the details of her life yet. I will leave it at that.
Yesterday she organized a shaving-cream-play extravaganza that my kid loved and probably could have done with an hour or so more of.

However, Finn touched the foamy, white substance [...]

Happy-Cheesy-Smile-Christmas from the McKirdy/Blase/Keyzer/Kato/Vanderzee/Broadbears!
Yet another awesome smile from the kid on Christmas #2.

Listening: Vampire Weekend (the new album - BUT, I just can’t stop thinking that this is the new “Your Mom’s Favorite Band” - which makes me not really want to listen anymore)

favorites

Just 3 words for you - Kylies.
MOVE. TO. AUSTIN.
And those aren’t my words, although, it’d be great to have you and Jeff in town so that we could take advantage of all of your childless-time for free babysitting. But, seriously, I look at all of the photos of you and H and really worry about [...]

so much to say so little time

We head back to Austin tomorrow. Excited to be getting home. Sad that we didn’t get enough time with friends and family. And scared that Harrison will be forever scarred from being taken 2,000 miles away from his most favorite person in the whole wide world.

Listening: Dead Man’s Bones

new obsessions

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 for over [...]
