Amelia turned two this week, and seems to be ready to move forward after a bit of a long year. She was so happy today at her party – having fun with her cousins, eating her cake and playing with her new toys – it was great to see. Maybe it was just because weContinue reading “Amelia’s 2nd Birthday”

They’re Coming Back
After nearly 12 long years, it looks like my favorite band will be reuniting for an album and a world tour. Extreme became my favorite band when I was a senior in high school, and they’ve held the throne for all these years in absentia. During the break, their lead singer, Gary Cherone, served asContinue reading “They’re Coming Back”
Not So Super Tuesday
Yesterday was Super Tuesday and since this is the first election in a while where it seems like there aren’t clear cut candidates on each side of the aisle, I thought it would be good to attend our local caucus. I have been a life-long Republican, but my beliefs don’t really fit there these daysContinue reading “Not So Super Tuesday”
Weekend Catch-Up
We had a pretty laid back weekend. Friday night we did nothing and Saturday we hung around home all morning and headed out to shop in the afternoon. Apparently the fact that the temperature hit 20 for the first time in a month brought everyone out of the woodwork, because it was like Christmas trafficContinue reading “Weekend Catch-Up”
Twins Offseason Moves
Everyone’s been asking for my expert analysis on the Twins moves so far this offseason, and since I aim to please, here goes: Losing Hunter to the Angels – the Angels overpaid in terms of years and dollars per year, so I can’t feel bad about this. I would have been willing to goContinue reading “Twins Offseason Moves”
Nightly Schedule
It seems like when we get home from work each night is when our work day really begins. We pick up the girls by 5:30 and head on home. Amelia needs to eat (or be distracted) immediately because she’s always hungry, and she’s been conditioned to eat as soon as she gets home. If weContinue reading “Nightly Schedule”
The Big Girl Birthday Party
We had Katie’s first big girl birthday party today as she turned 4 this week. I call it a big girl party, since there were no other parents involved. That was great for Katie, but by the end both Becky and I were trying to see if we had any alcohol in the house. Continue reading “The Big Girl Birthday Party”
Good-bye 3 Year Old
Katie’s birthday is coming up soon, and it’s starting to dawn on me that she’s growing up. She’s going to preschool and Sunday school and all that, but now that she’s actually gaining a year on her age, it seems like time is going by fast. It’s amazing she’s grown from a 7 pound babyContinue reading “Good-bye 3 Year Old”
General update
I seem to be suffering from analysis paralysis – I have too much to write about but I can’t think of enough interesting to say about any particular topic to make for a good entry. So I’ll take the easy way out and just bullet point my way through a list of recent happenings: Continue reading “General update”
2008 New Year’s Resolutions
OK – I didn’t do so hot on my new year’s resolutions last year – other than the ones about Katie and Amelia all I did was keep writing the blog. Plus, helping Amelia walk wasn’t something I really achieved, she just eventually did it on her own. I said I’d take Becky on aContinue reading “2008 New Year’s Resolutions”
