We just got back from a perfect morning at Happy Hollow. I freakin’ love that place. I really do. We show-up at 10am, ride all the rides before any kids get there, eat our Zanotto’s picnic, visit some animals and then get the heck out of Dodge by 1pm. Today…
This past week I had an impromptu parent/teacher conference at Baby Nate’s school. Teacher Noemi had filled-in a one page sheet telling me what he can do and what he’s currently “working on.” It seems as though he’s meeting all his developmental milestones with flying colors. His current areas for…
I can’t remember exactly how long it’s been since Jake started singing… recognizable songs that is. It must have been eight months ago or longer when I heard him singing to himself and the only part I could make out was “Yesth, sir, yesth, sir,” sung with great gravitas. All…
Two Sundays ago, Daddy brought Jakey and Natesy to Mommy’s soccer game for the first time. It’s been quite awhile since she had any fans. Jacob cheered me on yelling, “Mama Power!” from the bleachers. Clearly this is the best cheer of all time.
We read a lot of books. Or maybe more accurately, we read a handful of books, alot. I’m thinking of starting a little blog book critique in all of my spare time. Stay tuned for that. The other night Jakey brought me a book. “Read this book Mama. This book no make you sick. …

It will be two weeks ago this Wednesday. We were at a standstill on 280 at 7:30am. I had stayed up late and gotten up early to ensure I would make an 8:00am meeting at work. I was spacing out… hypnotized by red brake lights as far as the eye could…
Natesy won’t eat. Honestly. He weighs 20 pounds and he’s still on an almost pure liquid diet. We started with the requisite rice cereal. Glue. Pears? Yawn. Bananas? Uh, uh. Mangoes? No go. Sweet potatoes! Yucky. We’re on week 2 of butternut squash. They’ve had some luck getting a few…
We are deep into the realm of real and pretend. We drink pretend hot tea. We hide from pretend T-Rexes. We catch fish in the living room and the doll stroller is a lawn mower. Jake frequently exclaims, “I have an idea!” And then runs from the room. Lately he…
Before going to Nate’s 6 month doctor’s appointment, I made a bet. I bet that only ten pounds separated Nate from his older brother. I guessed he would be twenty pounds and that Jake was about thirty. I was half right… Nate was 20.03 pounds and according to our bathroom…
