Well folks, this is it -- the last day of my blog-a-day challenge for the month of November. I have to say this turned out to be a lot more fun than I expected, and I'm very grateful to Diane for turning me on to the challenge. Sure t

We just got Tate's first official school photo:I am DELIGHTED with how they turned out!! I don't know what that photographer did to get him to smile like that! I'm convinced he MUST have used laughing gas or something like tha

I am having one of those mornings where I am self-medicating with a piece of pie for breakfast. It is one of those days where you think, "This is going to be a bad day," and it isn't even 7am yet. Please indulge me while I u

Monday, 26 November 2007 2:05 P GMT-08
A few days ago we went for a walk around our cul-de-sac. At first I started noticing a few dead bees on the sidewalk. I thought, "That's ironic! Felicity was just stung by a b

I don't think I ever told you this, but I have a tracking system on this blog that tells me a bunch of statistics: how many hits I get per day, what region of the world these hits are coming from, etc. Mostly this is useless but fun in

I wouldn't dare step foot in a store today, but I've been online for the last hour doing Christmas shopping with all the amazing deals that are out there right now!! I love shopping from my own desk! : )I swear these ret

I swear I am going to lose this blog-a-day challenge any minute, especially since we are so busy and thrown off with the holiday! Very quickly now...Happy "Ganks"giving, as Tate would say. We just got home from my mom's wher

This picture is courtesy of my friend Lily. It's an image you can put on a tee-shirt or a onesie. I MUST get one for Felicity! (And one for Diego, too! Hee.)
what to do when you have no time to post? rely on more trusty videos!

Do you remember me once writing about Tate's "hit hugs" that he does every night? Basically it's a big hug with a running start. He'll run run run run run until he slams into you for a hug. And he's been do
what's this? wait...not another birth story?!?
Monday, 19 November 2007 7:07 P GMT-08
Today's post-of-the-day is a bit of a cheat because it's one I've been writing for the last seven months. Yes, it's Felicity's birth story...finally!You thought Tate's birth story was long; I think this one might be
The Quest
Sunday, 18 November 2007 7:39 A GMT-08
This weekend I went to a charity fashion show and luncheon which required somewhat dressy attire. If anything, this experience simply reminded me how infrequently I dress up. And how too much of the time, I resemble hell in a handbag.Most

I wish I had the stamina to write a really decent post right now. However, I am EXHAUSTED from the excitement and activities of the last 24 hours. Jeremy has logged on to the bar website to check his results 13 more times (no e

Bar results came back today at 6:00 p.m. And guess what???HE PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!We are both on Cloud 9 right now!!This has seriously been the most tense week ever. Jeremy was a jangle of nerves, up at 4am every day and unable to go back t

In yet another confessional of the week (also somewhat related to baby food, no?), I am also cloth diapering this time around. Yes, you read that correctly. This is something I never, ever, EVER in a million years thought I would do. The

As you all probably know, Miss Felicity started eating solid foods about a month ago. So I thought I would blog about something I'm pretty jazzed about: I'm making my own baby food. I never did this with Tate, mainly because

Tuesday, 13 November 2007 2:03 P GMT-08
No time to do a lengthy post -- Tate is sick and Felicity is mobile. So hey, how 'bout s'more home videos, folks???Here is Felicity's first time eating a green veggie. Jeremy is the camera man and you'll notice he did some

I don't think I have enough mindpower today to write a complete post about any one topic, so here are some random fleeting thoughts going through my head right now:* Whomever thought up the idea for adjustable waistbands on kids' pants is a g
where did the last seven months go?
Saturday, 10 November 2007 7:01 A GMT-08
Felicity is seven months old today. SEVEN MONTHS! I find it so hard to believe; I still think of her as my little newborn. She is still such a sweet baby, and she is SO MUCH FUN now! She laughs *so* easily, and it gives me an
this video thing is addicting!
Friday, 9 November 2007 11:41 A GMT-08
We shot this video a couple of months ago (Felicity was 5 months then). This is *such* a typical moment around here.: Tate singing incessantly, in Felicity's face incessantly, and me telling him "Give her space!" Inces

I swear there is a book waiting to be written about what goes down at the market. You'd think it would be a relatively innocuous place, but no. Asshats abound! (You can read about my previous Trader Joes asshat grumblings here a
Our weekend at Legoland
Wednesday, 7 November 2007 9:36 P GMT-08
A couple of weeks before Halloween, we took a trip to Carlsbad and visited Legoland. THIS was an excursion to end all excursions! Who knew Legoland could be so much fun? I was thinking we would go for a couple of hours, see a few Legos,

Okay, minor freak out this morning. I dropped Tate off at preschool and as I was walking back to my car, suddenly Felicity starts screaming and I see a BEE crawling on the shoulder of my Moby wrap. I instantly knew from her cry
