Happy Halloween!

We are not doing anything exciting for Halloween this year.  The twins are too young to trick-or-treat, and it would be past their bedtime anyway.  Our neighborhood is not a big trick-or-treating neighborhood, but I bought a little candy just in case.

We did have some fun posing for pictures, however, and the twins learned a [...]

I should probably just let this video explain it all, but I have more to add. Not only are they climbing into their high chairs and bouncing around, but they are also pushing the dining room chairs around and using them to climb onto the table. It’s only a matter of time before [...]

The economy

This is not a baby-related post, but since part of this blog is for Claire and Ronin as they grow up, and part of it is for us in the future when we want to look back and remember everything about their childhoods, I thought I might enter a little bit of context. When [...]

Science Museum & leashes

Justin telecommuted yesterday, so we picked up my mom and went to the California Academy of Sciences on a weekday when it wasn’t so crowded. It was pretty cool because Justin was literally telecommuting. After a few hours of conference calls in the morning, he telephoned some more business contacts while I commuted [...]

We had an exciting weekend. We discovered that the pipe leading from the main water supply under the house to the faucet in the back yard had a huge leak, and it was virtually inaccessible, being under a concrete slab. We found out on Saturday afternoon and called our home warranty company who [...]

Benihana

I forgot to mention our trip to the new California Academy of Sciences museum last weekend. Probably because it was a fiasco. We picked mom up, drove into the city, and started getting worried when we got into a traffic jam in Golden Gate Park. Uh-oh. The new museum opened just [...]

New Baby

Our next-door neighbors, Oum & Sabatino, had a baby boy on Saturday, and we went over to see him tonight. He was adorable, all black hair and tiny fingers and long lashes. He was 5 pounds 7 ounces, and so incredibly tiny. Our babies looked GIANT compared to him, and it was [...]

Naptime woes

I’ve received some comments lately about how I don’t post as frequently as I used to. Part of this is because I’ve been having a difficult time with their naps. Claire used to nap in the swing and Ronin would nap in my lap and I could sit at the computer and [...]

Fever

Ronin has a fever today and has been crying but has no other symptoms. To our knowledge this is his first fever. We gave him a little Motrin when it went up a degree in an hour and he became more cheerful after that. We’ll see if anything develops and keep you [...]
