One last post on our vacation. And this one has to do with one of Kristen’s favorite subjects. That would, of course, be bugs. I’m no fan of bugs, but if I see one crawling around the bathroom (the favorite haunt of the many legged ones), I’ll grab some toilet paper and go smooshing. If [...]
Today is Kristen’s birthday. (Happy birthday, darling.) We were planning on going out for dinner (with our downstairs neighbor Lillian looking after Henry), but plans changed when our little boy went and got himself sick. This morning, after waking up from his first nap, he threw up, and this afternoon, proving that the morning puke [...]
Henry looks like Kristen, Kristen’s father, Kristen’s brother, Kristen’s grandmother… everyone related to Kristen. He looks (at the moment, at least) nothing like me. (Except when he’s sleeping; then he’s a spitting image of ol’ dad.) I’m not so worried about this because he changes his looks more often than Bela Lugosi. But it has [...]
About six weeks ago, my friend Jodi’s fiancee emailed me asking if I’d like to surprise Jodi with a visit for her birthday. This was at the height of OMG! Swine Flu!! madness and I dragged my feet a little bit before committing because I was terrified of getting sick (and thereby getting Henry sick). [...]
Five years ago, Kristen and I were standing in the bell tower of the Santa Barbara courthouse as a flighty, granola-y woman told us all the things we loved about each other while an equally flighty, granola-y woman took pictures. It lasted all of 5 minutes (about 30 seconds of which were spent with me [...]
I’m currently sitting in a meeting room in Denver, Colorado, trying to figure out how this city can get any dryer. (I don’t have a single ounce of water in my body, I think.) It’s that season again, where I’m gone for most weekends for the next month and a half. Although Kristen will have [...]
When Kristen started her current job, the office manager/human resources person was, while a great person, not terribly organized. So when Kristen filled out her I-9 form and asked to have an extra $50 set aside for our Federal taxes (we had had to pay a little the last couple of years and this was [...]
Henry is much better, thank you very much. He’s still got a periodic cough and a sniffle now and again, but he’s back to his old ways — meaning he wants nothing to do with anything except for standing up. This is a good thing because Kristen was felled on Friday by the same cold [...]
(Another post about poop, so if you’re not so inclined, you can skip it and just read the last one about how much I love Henry.) On Sunday Kristen was knocked on her butt with a nasty stomach bug, so bad that it didn’t really improve and she stayed home from work yesterday. (I’m sure [...]
This is a sappy one today, so if you’re one who doesn’t like all the flowery, gooey stuff, just look at the pictures and be done with. Ready? This past weekend, after Henry woke up from a nap, Kristen and I made a baby sandwich, which means I held Henry in my arms, Kristen wrapped [...]
Henry is happiest when he's looking at or playing with or reading about cars and trucks and fire engines and bulldozers -- pretty much anything with wheels or that makes a loud, growly noise. This book has all that (and if you're a little nutty like me, you can add the sound effects).
