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 [...]
First it was football. Then came the drums. Then golf and although the kid still enjoys to whack the little white ball around (photos and stories still to come), that phase was short-lived and mild compared to this. This video was taken on day two of the kid learning to ride a real skateboard. He’s [...]
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
Borrowing momma’s derby pads for some safe play in the living room. Listening: The Morning Benders (lovely lovely lovely)
From the moment we found out that our kid was growing inside my belly, I have imagined myself as a “Momma”. Which is, in my mind, an entirely different word from “Ma Ma” – the common few syllables first pronounced by babies. I never thought of myself as a “Mommy” – especially as spoken by [...]
This post has been a long time coming. Once upon a time – almost three months ago which in toddler-development-time is like three hundred years – I started to write… At H’s 18-month doc appointment three weeks months ago, I knew it was coming – the dreaded question – and was prepared with the canned [...]
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 – [...]
I was just going to post this old animated gif of the kid (sort of) waving without commenting on it, but, the more I look at the roundness of his face I can’t help but, reflect on how far we’ve come. In just a year we have gone from waiting weeks for any sort of [...]
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 [...]
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)
