Here it is. Post 1000. I should look back and do a quick review but I really just want to move forward (and drink!). But a bit of looking back is apparently required. I offer here just a little. We’re not going to be doing any of that wallowing thing. Ahem.
I started this blog on [...]

Here’s the annual photo of the kids on the front lawn, just prior to embarking on a little Halloween fun. (see also last year’s photo, and the year before that)
Once again, Oliver chose the costumes back in August, but I think it is the last [...]

I renewed my strange and wonderful relationship with rugby yesterday, as Eleanor and I caught the second half of the Pittsburgh Angels’ decimation of their opponent in the Midwest Division II tournament. We had to cross two of Pittsburgh’s three rivers to get there, multiple times even, but get there we did. Founder’s Field is [...]

It was a full family assault at PNC Park on Sunday. We bought two tickets (Oliver and the parent to be named later) to eight Pirate games, and bravely bought four tickets to the last Sunday game of the season, hoping Eleanor would be old enough to make it through to the end. Wow, did [...]

Last night’s meet up at AlphaLab, hosted by iTwixie with produce donated by Isidore Foods, cupcakes from kdiddy, blueberry zucchini fabulousness from Abby, and pastries from….I dunno. The [...]

We hit two milestones today. Eleanor started talking about bedtime while we were in the car tonight. That should have been my first clue. When she starts says, “No bath! No bath! Brush teeth!” she is thinking about bedtime. She said she didn’t want any dinner. She says a lot of things that are not [...]

Stay tuned. I’ll be back to blogging tomorrow. For now, enjoy a shot of the kids while CD was away. We amused ourselves one morning with a visit to Dippy the Dinosaur.

Long time. No blog. Anyway.
It’s hardly a newsflash but Sesame Street is on YouTube. This was handy with Oliver when he was younger, as in the days before iPhone. He would watch videos of Elmo singing with a wide variety of celebrities, from Andrea Bocelli to the Goo Goo Dolls. Oliver killed one screen on [...]

Last Saturday, during which Verizon decided three days without internet would be good for me, Oliver turned 4. Four. Years. Old. It couldn’t be possible. And tomorrow Eleanor turns 2. It’s not surprising I have been waxing nostalgic about their births. The good, the bad, and the war zone. I get even more nostalgic knowing [...]

It’s been forever since I posted a picture of the kids. Bubba got in there as a bonus. Eleanor’s hair is long enough for pigtails now, and Oliver looks more grown up every day.
Tuesday nights require Scholastic DVD since CD has a conference call during the time he usually amuses the kids while I cook. [...]
