A Picture of Sophie

July 31, 2012 – 11:37 pm

So the reason for the last post is this picture. Andy has a computer hooked up to our TV and I don’t really understand it except that I know it requires a web of wires behind our TV stand that are completely disorganized and that I hate, and that normally I can’t do to the […]

The Faces of Siblings

July 31, 2012 – 11:12 pm

We use Flickr to organize our pictures. But sometimes, Andy uses Picasa as a filter. It has a cool face recognition tool—and lately, it has been mistaking Sophie for James and vice versa again and again. As shown here. “A man finds room in the few square inches of his face for the traits of […]

When You Turn 33 …

July 31, 2012 – 2:00 am

and you’re the father of a 4-year-old and two 2-year-olds and you’re married to me you get: (1) a Graeter’s ice cream cake as requested but with 33 candles on it that melt everything in the name of tradition. (2) take-out Indian food because, let’s be honest, you’re the better cook. (3) two children helping […]

FL Trip: Disney World

July 23, 2012 – 12:01 am

We didn’t tell the kids about our day trip to Disney World until the night before we went. Sophie was excited in a I’m-not-quite-sure-what-you’re-talking-about-but-I-like-Disney-movies-castles-princesses-and-Kings-Island-so-it-sounds-fun way. We rode the carousel, and waited a very long time in a very hot line so Sophie could meet Rapunzel. (She told Rapunzel she’s growing her hair just as long.) […]

FL Trip: Date Night

July 22, 2012 – 11:36 pm

We had dinner at Don CeSar and then took a long walk on the beach. The rain gave way to a beautiful sunset, a beautiful night. The next night we went out after the kids went to bed, to Mahuffer, the most fantastic dive bar I’ve ever seen. There, we met up with an old […]

FL Trip: The Importance of the Placement of Pack-n-Plays

July 22, 2012 – 9:49 pm

Kudos to the person who came up with the idea of renting baby equipment to vacationing families. We rented two pack-n-plays and a big bin of toys from Visiting Baby and it was worth every penny. In fact, we saved money not having to check two pack-n-plays and the new-to-the-kids bin of toys was most […]

FL Trip: First Day At the Beach

July 22, 2012 – 9:30 pm

Sophie insisted on being held when near the water. Owen wanted nothing to do with the beach, and instead was content sitting on the beach blanket Nini made, eating Goldfish crackers and drinking water. Sophie and Paw Paw Andy and James Aunt Fran Andy and James Sophie, loving the playground more playground fun Aunt Fran, […]
