Here’s more from our great weekend of doing nothing. Funny faces while at lunch at Enoteca: Riding the frog at the park a few days ago & almost exactly a year ago: Swinging and laughing: And the kid helps us put away stuff after shopping. Watch for the “shhhhhh” after he lays his head on [...]
… I heard it. We can take ICE out of the Folder-Of-Lies and place it on the official list of Words-That-Are-Barely-Perceptible-That-My-Son-Has-Uttered. Other items on that list include, but, our not limited to: Ice Bus Truck (but, you knew that one already) Moo Meow Roar Ree-Er-Ree-Er (That’s a fire engine siren for those of you who [...]
Just played hookie to see Inglourious Basterds with Marc and Bryan and Lindsay, who have been visiting this week. I have to say, that despite all of the Austin locales and the fact that we attended the premier – I hated Death Proof, so I was extremely pleased to see the new QT movie and [...]
“Their work reveals that the all-over lines do not give rise to positive or negative areas: we are not made to feel that one part of the canvas demands to be read as figure, whether abstract or representational, against another part of the canvas read as ground. There is not inside or outside to the [...]
HELP! Aliens have broken in to our home and stolen all of the adult brains from the premises. At least, that is the only rational explanation I can come up with for what transpired over the weekend. *** Marc and I returned to Austin last week and decided simultaneously that our living room (which for [...]
“Marc, please stop staring at him crying! Go… make him HAPPY!” (Me to Marc after a long day without our Elizabeth. She came down with the flu late last night and left me and the kid to fend for ourselves all day, while Marc worked on the three-thousand items on his to-do list.) H and [...]
It was H’s first day back at “school” (Finn’s house with the nanny) after our extended home-away-from-home-trip. He was apprehensive and sensitive and sweet compared to Finn’s confident toughness. Things were different just a year ago when Elizabeth started and Finn (Mr. Perfect) was a cute and cuddly little muffin and H was an act-before-thinking, [...]
Elizabeth, the nanny, just texted Marc to tell him that she showed Finn a photo of Harrison and he giggled for 30 minutes. I’m sure that’s an exaggeration – like the time she said that he was talking (a flat-out lie) – but, still how cute is that!? Listening: She Keeps Bees (new music Fridays! [...]
Elizabeth, our nanny, had a family emergency on Sunday, which took her to Dallas and away from us for the week. We finally got word yesterday that everything with her family is OK – a huge relief. But, this means that we and especially H won’t get to see her for two and a half [...]
We’re having a major problem with our nanny. She cannot stop herself from laughing at H when he picks his nose. He recently discovered his nostrils and the fact that his fingers are perfectly sized to fit in them. He’s been doing this for a couple weeks now and every single day she can’t help [...]
