…and receiving. And boy did we ever receive! Marc, Harrison and I were lucky enough to receive plane tickets to fly back for Christmas courtesy of two very special grandparents and aunty. It was beyond generous and we are extremely grateful. Because without that we would have had to decorate our own house, cook for [...]
Me: “Today you get to… GO TO SCHOOL!!!! HOORAY!!!” H: “I don’t want to go to school. I want to stay at MY HOME and play.” It has been three weeks + 2 days since the kid has been in school. Three weeks of being sick (for an entire week with stomach flu, fever, sinus [...]
Click below to see a way-too-long video of Harrison eating a “posipcale” as slow as humanely possible and driving my mom insane in the process. NOTE: Grandma is not a total clean-freak AND we are sitting outside so, the urgency with which she tends to Harrison’s drips is, in my opinion, brought on by the [...]
No crying today at pre-school drop-off! Hooray! The kid may just come out of his toddlerhood unscathed! And while we’re celebrating stuff… how about Baby’s First Roller Coaster? Yep – Harrison experienced his first roller coaster while we were in California. And, had my mother (the one who is terrified of most things gravity-defying) not [...]
I have made this photo my desktop background to remind myself that we did indeed have a vacation. It’s easy to forget a thing like that given that I spent a great deal of our three week trip to California shackled to my computer dealing with client “emergencies”. The working-while-on-vacation thing is nothing new. It [...]
I thought I’d spend a bit of time this morning getting caught up on vacation photos – when I found Christmas photos from last year. Oopsies! So, rather than a peak into our Bay Area-Tahoe-California-summer-extravaganza, I give you a look back on a chubby 1.5 year-old learning the finer points of present-opening cupcake eating skateboarding [...]
It took a trip halfway across the country to find kids that Harrison could accost without objection. If it isn’t obvious – we’re on vacation and because we are short on cash and other things that make a vacation really fun and indulgent I have allowed myself to not blog for three weeks without guilt. [...]
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 [...]
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)
