It’s day 12 of the 24 days of Christmas. Due to the nasty weather in the northeast, Aunt Suzy experienced an untimely power outage so she was unable to join us for the present opening activities. At the time I didn’t know why she suddenly logged out but I made an educated guess and shot [...]

Day 2 of the 24 days of Christmas was a present for Eleanor, Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy. As you can see, this made her very happy. [More photos on Flickr.]
Aunt Suzy, architect of this 24 days thing, has this book in her bag when she takes her dog Maggie to her public library. [...]

Oliver and I had a perfectly delightful hour this afternoon, one of those “nothing special” hours that I need to write about so I can preserve it forever. He was more than a little peeved when I took Eleanor to Trader Joe’s this morning. I decided a post-nap outing was in order, and I’m fortunate [...]

As previously reported, Oliver discovered running around the playground and yelling “nekkid” gets quite a rise out of teachers and classmates alike. One of his teacher’s valiant attempt at redirection has caused the phrase to morph into “cheerio nekkit”. He still has no idea what naked means, though the different answers have stopped.

Photo courtesy of CD. We had a great Halloween. Both kids were in good spirits and adorable costumes, and we had lots of help from Aunt Suzy to make our Halloween a festive one. She decorated the house and helped kid-wrangle during trick or treating. She also looked mah-velous in her spider jeans.
Two more photos [...]

All of this baseball stuff with Oliver has had some unexpected consequences. Take this morning, when I asked Oliver to clear his dishes from the table. He looked at me and shook his head. Not being entirely awake, I just looked at him. He shook his head again. When I still didn’t respond in what [...]

Eleanor’s new words, all before 8am!: waffle, bubble, Boo Boo (a small blue gosling who likes to eat)
And a few more that happened after CD and I went out for the evening: Poop! (an announcement of her mad multi-tasking skillz during dinner) and bath (a post-dinner activity)
Not to be outdone, Oliver had some [...]

There are so many small moments in my kids’ lives that I want to capture and use to embarrass them later on keep forever. Yet I never have the video camera handy, and I have never watched any of the video we have already shot, except for a couple of little clips that CD loaded [...]

I heard Michelle Obama referred to as fearless today, not so much for her speech at the convention last night, but for letting her young daughter near an open mike! Four years ago, I would not have understood. Today? Different story entirely.
While we’re on the subject of the things kids say, Eleanor is in the [...]
