I love having a munchkin - every day's an adventure. Last weekend, somehow, he licked his lower lip with the top of his tongue (tongue was cork-screwed, not folded). I've spent all week trying to do it, and I think I'm getting there. :) Today we went hiking and had a blast yelling and listening for echoes. Wendy went with us. Hopefully it'll become ( Read more... )

I just made cookies and I'm not happy with them. They don't taste quite right. Nothing's particularly wrong with them, they just don't meet my expectations. Erf. I'm going to have to work on this.

I heard a noise and turned to see my son chewing on his pacifier and staring me in the eye from less than one inch away. So I gave him a smooch and drifted back to sleep. The feeling of ( Read more... )

Yesterday we took Joseph to the doctor for his 'well baby checkup.' The doctor's office was clean and the doctor herself was very nice. Joseph grew a bit, but it's hard to tell how much. The measurement said he only grew 1/4" (the first one indicated that he'd shrunk - eek! - so they measured him again), but I know from how he fits into his car ( Read more... )

So I'm Twittering now. It's interesting for the moment. If it sticks, it'll be interesting to go back and read through them in a year or two ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went on an ATV ride sponsored by my work and I invited my wife and my mother and her boyfriend along for the fun. Without going into details or harping on the fact that you NEVER hit your brakes coming out of a turn because you could cause an accident, my mother's boyfriend hit his brakes coming out of an especially dangerous turn with ( Read more... )
