Today is Justin’s birthday, and we are celebrating with an appointment and a date. We have the day off work to take care of the business part of the day, and since we had to do it anyway, we scheduled it for Justin’s birthday so we could combine it with some fun stuff. This [...]

Not sleeping
Posted in Uncategorized on January 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Last week Claire and Ronin both inexplicably started not going to sleep. It seemed worse than it might have otherwise, because it followed on a brief , several-night period of me putting them to bed slightly early and then sneaking out to the living room and having a little baby-free time with Justin while the [...]
A morning at the playground

It is warm, we had no errands, nobody is sick, and everyone wanted to run around. We had an extra-long playground excursion with lots of videos for your viewing pleasure.

Happy New Year!

We crammed all four of us into a photobooth on New Year’s Eve. It was a tight fit. Justin and I celebrated by putting the babies to bed a half-hour early and then turning the baby monitor on, sneaking out of bed, and staying up until 9 PM ourselves. Yay! It is nice to have [...]
