Goodbye 2005....hello 2006!

Saturday, 31 December 2005 8:42 P GMT-08
We are ringing in 2006 in our typical fashion with our 2nd annual "New Years on the Couch" celebration.  This involves putting Tate to bed early, playing a board game or two, popping open the champange and having a toast at 9pm (PST) a

Christmas Recap

Wednesday, 28 December 2005 12:13 P GMT-08
Christmas was a whirlwind, but we had a really nice weekend.  Tate couldn't have been more disinterested in opening presents.  We had to *force* him to unwrap his gifts.  As of today, he still hasn't opened all of them.  He was ju

All I want for Christmas...

Saturday, 24 December 2005 12:32 P GMT-08
Well, we managed to make it to the day before Christmas before breaking an ornament or getting a fat lip (separate incidences, too!).  I think I mentioned in a previous post that we only decorated the top half of our tree because of Curious

holiday shopping

It's been a good week.  Tate and I are both healthy for the first time in I don't know how long.  Jeremy is done with final exams.  Christmas shopping is basically done with the exception of one person.  We got Tate's new playroom

Who's who

Ah, Christmas.  'Tis the season for remembering family and friends....and relative strangers. We received a Christmas card today, complete with a detailed letter and photo...and we have no idea who this woman is.   I sat there, readin

Santa, baby

Tuesday, 13 December 2005 9:02 P GMT-08
Wanna see a really scary picture? Here I am on Santa's lap, circa 1989 (which would make me, what, 13 years old?).  What is perhaps scarier than a 13-year old still sitting on the lap of an old man in a costume, is the fact that I am apparent

would you like some cheese with your whine?

You know you're a mom when you catch vomit in your hands...and don't flinch or think twice about it. Tate is sick...*again*.  I swear this is the fifth cold he's had since September (not even counting the croup).  I am SO OVER the cold and

18-month check up

Tuesday, 6 December 2005 8:49 A GMT-08
Tate had his 18-month well baby visit last week (a month late, again).  Stats:  Weight: 21 lbs. 5 oz.  Length: 31 inches.  Head:  I can't remember. His weight gain is a little better this time around, but the pediatrician sa

Can anyone explain to me all the hoopla surrounding iPods?  I think I finally understand what they are (like walkmans, but without tapes or CDs, right?).   But I'm just not quite understanding what the mass appeal is.  Maybe it's
