We had a pretty great weekend celebrating this guy, the most caring, engaged, loving and active father I could have hoped for for my kids.
May the force be with me - I’m gonna need it
I admit that I have whined a little here and there about Sophia’s princess obsession. She’s supposed to be above Disney’s attempts to teach her how a prince galloping onto the scene will ensure her “happily ever after” ending, right? OK, OK, if she wants to go all princesses and Disney, that’s fine. But I […]
One month . . .
Happy one month birthday, little man!
I can’t believe we’ve reached this milestone so quickly. The time with you has flown by. I think that’s mostly because your big sister is keeping me so busy making sure she doesn’t suffocate you with her love. It’s a round-the-clock job, this anti-smother duty she has me on.

Welcome, son!
He’s here! My little baby boy is finally here. Ian Christopher made his appearance last week on May 6th — all 10 lbs., 8 oz. of him — and I am realizing life will never be the same. It’s crazy and perfect and wonderful and noisy chaos with two kids. And I love it!

Sophia was very up for the idea and jumped right in with her awesome “helping” skills. I mean, who else is going to help me clean up the extra chocolate chips and […]
The Final Countdown
I’m getting really close to the end. I had one final ultrasound yesterday (to make it a whopping six total! What’s up with that?) and, no surprise from the 9 pound bundle I brought home last time, this little one is measuring not-so-little. He’s likely to show up at anytime — that’s what my body’s […]
Down for the count
We have had quite an eventful couple weeks around here. Sophia caught this insane bug going around her daycare that led to all manner of ear/eye infections, horrible-sounding coughing and then, inevitably, respiratory junk.
Chris and I were away all last weekend at a wedding (that he officiated!), and by the time we got back, Sophia’s […]
Gives new meaning to “play clothes”
Late this afternoon Sophia wanted to go outside to play. “I get my shoes myself, mommy?” she asked me.
I’m all for encouraging her budding independence, large personality and extreme individuality, so when she came back with these hand-me-down, ruby red, fancy pants sparkly shoes, how could I say no? She had done exactly what she […]
