it’s official. i’m a soccer mom.

  
friday was our first soccertots class.  it was ridiculously cute.  pint size soccer players running around and having fun.  owen kicked the ball some but mostly carried it around.  owen wasn’t the only baby kicking.  i nearly wet my pants running around with owen with this little baby kicking my bladder.  i was happy uncle michael [...]

nothing cuter…

…than watching your own kid fall asleep sitting up.  owen literally ran out of energy tonight and just sat up, closed his eyes while i was getting him in his pajamas and fell asleep… he even did this swooning thing where he looked like a drunk.  it was pretty awesome.  no camera close enough to [...]

gut-check update

hey everyone.  now that the sunday is over — we’re on track to follow sequel through the stages that owen went through. we’re trying to keep a week-for-week account so that there will be pictures taken in the same window as owen.  it’s shaping up to be a totally different pregnancy.

watching me sleep

  
we had a great morning. brunch. friends. easter egg hunt. nap for everyone.
owen takes a long enough nap that john and i can each take one in the time of his one nap. i got the second half and laid down next to him on the couch. i was in and out of sleep when [...]

the quiet of a sunday morning

kara is asleep.  i took a minute to test out our new coffee machine.  it does all the work for you.  all you do is put whole beans in and set the brew strength to “apocalyptic” and off you go.

“you’ll get stuck”

 
“how many times do i have to tell you, you’ll get stuck.  fine do it your way.”
owen doesn’t climb through chairs anymore.

kitchen update

hey all.
sorry for the delay in the kitchen updating, etc. i’ve been so busy with work lately that i haven’t had free time to update the site. apologies all around.

those two pictures are of the new fridge wall, the new fridge and the new *gasp* dishwasher! we actually get all excited when [...]

putting owen down

we are at a really cool stage with owen now — as he gets older, he completely understands the concept of needing to go to bed at night.  we can finally put him to bed without too much drama… he can even be totally conscious that he is about to go to bed.
kara is out [...]

catch me if you can…

“i’m chasing your baby around your womb” said the dr. yesterday as she tries to do the fetal survey. we have a very active little baby with big feet. i thought i’d been feeling this one more but thought maybe it’s just because i know what to feel for or [...]
