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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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.
