Spaghetti Dinner

January 30, 2009 – 11:57 pm

Tuesday night, Dad made his homemade spaghetti sauce. And for the first time ever, Mom and Dad made me a plate, too! At first I wasn’t so sure about it, preferring my apple wagon wheels instead. It felt weird. And can you believe they took my clothes off, and just left me in my diaper […]

Snowy Day

January 30, 2009 – 11:38 pm

When I woke up Tuesday morning, there was snow everywhere! But before we could go outside, Mom said I had to eat my Cheerios. As always, Tucker sat underneath my highchair, waiting for me to drop some (or feed him some when Mom isn’t looking). Dad shoveled the driveway, and then dried his snow pants […]

Lucky or Genius?

January 28, 2009 – 9:21 pm

A couple Sundays ago I had to finish two articles that were due Monday morning. While I showered, Sophie insisted she help me write my lede. As you can see, there was a lot of baby talk, a language Andy and I still aren’t quite fluent in, but there was one English word, a name—”Drasnin.” […]

Morning Entertainment

A squirrel, in a tree. “If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.” —George Eliot

A Night With Dad

January 26, 2009 – 10:42 pm

The last time I met my girlfriends for coffee after work, I came home to this. But also this, so I can’t complain too much. 🙂 “Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.” —Phyllis Diller

Ski Trip X DVD

January 22, 2009 – 1:30 pm

For 10 years we’ve gone to Timberline Four Seasons Resort in West Virgina with friends for a weekend ski trip. Beginning with the sixth trip, our good friend Greg began making hilarious DVDs, filled with pictures, videos and inside jokes from previous trips, as a preview to the upcoming trip. A couple Saturdays ago we […]

Sophie’s First Chipotle

January 19, 2009 – 11:09 pm

A couple Saturdays ago we went to our friend Erin’s art, yoga and meditation studio‘s grand opening. On the way we decided to stop at Chipotle for lunch. It was then that I realized I had nothing for Sophie—no food, no bowl, no bib, no spoon. I could have nursed her but I’m trying to […]

Dinner & a Movie

January 19, 2009 – 10:49 pm

A couple Fridays ago Nini and Grandpa came over to watch Sophie, and Andy and I went on a date. We saw Slumdog Millionaire at Esquire Theatre. It’s a love story. Although difficult to watch at times it was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. We then, appropriately, had dinner […]
