Ma. Ma.
Derek and I have been working hard to get Isaac to say “Mama”. We chant it over and over at him and he just continues to grunt and babble on with mostly “eeehh”s and “oooh”s and the occasional D or B sound mixed in. Today, in the middle of one training session, the boy stopped […]
Coughing Genes
I’m still fighting off what I like to refer to as my “whooping cough”. It’s very frustrating, but whenever I get a cold or a sore throat, it turns into a lengthy bout with an annoying cough that consumes my life. A few years back, I had it for FOUR months. I finally had this […]
A Thousand Splendid Suns
I took advantage of some really good naps by BabyZilla and over the course of last night and today, I read A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. It was quite good. Like The Kite Runner, I couldn’t put it down. It’s maddening, I tell you.

Here is a slideshow of pictures from our trip. It will update whenever Derek adds new […]

He practices it whilst clearing off the coffee table of all of its inhabitants.(cell phones, cameras, coasters, towels, books…) We are heading to the mountains for a few days to […]
