Moving on . . .
I have moved my Blog to WordPress. This is in not way reflective of the friends that I have here on LiveJournal. I have enjoyed my stay at LiveJournal and make the decision reluctantly.
Please, if you enjoyed it, continue to read my blog: My Lil' Goombas

By All Accounts . . .
By all accounts today should not have been as bad as it was, but something, somewhere, somehow put me on edge today. Rachel woke up at an astonishingly late 8:30, 2-2.5 hours later than usual. Her nap was on the long side of normal. She was not terrible fussy. She ate well and went down for her nap easily even with the late morning. We took an easy ( Read more... ) -
The Curse: Seasonal Allergies
In Monday's post, What did you say?", I mentioned about trying to post through the haze of a allergy attack. While I felt a little better through the middle of the week, it hit me doubly Friday. I did go out to the park Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday which I'm sure did not help the situation ( Read more... ) -

I love to just sit and watch her as she tries to add to her accumulating knowledge, building on things that she has already learned to experience and interact with the world ( Read more... ) -
What did you say?
As her list of words that she repeats and understands grows at almost an exponential rate, I am somehow still surprised at the things she'll repeat. There is a fine line between parroting and understanding. I often wonder which she is doing ( Read more... ) -
The park, The mall and a festival
It's been pretty busy around here the last few days. Michele had Friday off, doesn't have to work the weekend and is even off on Monday which gives as a nice four day weekend. Because of all this, I've been trying to having a lot of family time - going out and doing stuff ( Read more... ) -
Dear Rachel
My wife has commented to me that we should write letters to Rachel that she would open up at a later date. I dismissed the idea, until I came across Doodaddy's post Dear Boobaby (part XIX). I found this a wonderfully good post, and pulled me into the idea of writing my own letters. Here is the first installment ( Read more... ) -
Here, try this; it tastes awful.
Recently she has learned the art of dipping (and double-dipping). Actually, the chip or whatever is used more as a spoon to transport the yummy stuff to her mouth. While we were at a local mexican restaurant Rachel decided she would like to dip the chip into the hot salsa. And as you can imagine she did not like this one bit, but for some strange ( Read more... )
