was a trip to the Tahoe City fire station. Where an awe-struck little boy with his mouth permanently agape held his breath for 15 minutes while the fire chief showed us his F-I-R-E-T-R-U-C-K! And then let him GET IN! And gave H a fireman’s HAT! The experience made Marc’s -er- Harrison’s day. Listening: Amanda Palmer [...]
…the day after we got back from Oregon I woke up with a sore throat and now have the kid’s cold. It’s funny how being sick just doesn’t seem to really matter any more. Having burningly dry throat all night, stuffed up nose and the knowledge that it is only going to get worse would [...]
We’ve been traveling to a far off land they call Oregon. It’s a strange and wondrous place with tall trees, rushing rivers and no internet. Where babies get sick and have to be taken to Urgent Care centers in strip malls. Where business gets unwillingly put on hold for a week. Where people sit around [...]
Turns out the cute little house that we are staying in here in Truckee used to belong to old friends of ours who have since moved to Pennsylvania. So, where we’re staying for the summer will now be called “Ed & Sarah’s House”. There is a great backyard with a cute little garden where H [...]

Sadly, Our last meal in Austin for the summer will consist of frozen burritos and the last few drops of chilled wine remaining in the fridge. Luckily, Me and the boy will get a home cooked meal tomorrow night upon arriving at my parents house after a quick and easy flight. Marc will not be [...]
I started a list of things we need to pack for our upcoming trip to California. Which is in 2 weeks! F@#$! How did it become June already!? The list included our “kitchen knives”, “at least one of our cutting boards” and “veggie wash“. OK, we’ll start with the easy one – Veggie Wash – [...]
