What if I told you there were a way to spend more time with your kids, improve your sex life, and make your waistline thinner? Well, there is. There is a story that has made it’s way around the internets about a professor, a mayonnaise jar, and two cups of coffee. It goes like this: […]
A new girl was born yesterday – Ruby [middle name] – to April, Jake and Dean. We’re going to go see her today, so I’ll be back with more details tonight or tomorrow.
I know, it is all about pirates these days. I’m working on a pattern for a swing shift for a new baby, so there will be other things on the blog, I swear. Anyway, if you are in San Francisco this weekend with pirate lovers, the big ships are coming to harbor. At noon today, […]
I’m kind of amazed that there are not google-able alternate instructions for installing the Burley Kazoo considering it is one of the more expensive trail-a-bikes on the market and someone who is opting for this one is likely to have a bike that can’t handle the pannier rack attachment. Anyway, put two Doug’s on it, […]
We’re pooped. A bunch of rowdy pirates came by our house to dig for booty. Blowing the cannons: (Amazingly, we didn’t burn down the ship!) Party Details: I baked for 10 hours, yesterday. Doug swabbed the deck. And the kids followed us around sticking fingers in freshly piped icing, leaving smudges on anything shiney, and […]
The trail-a-bike Will’s grandparents bought him arrived, today. When we returned from school it was sitting on the front porch in it’s shipping box. Not one for surprises, he had opened the box before I was even out of the car. “Now I can push daddy up the hills?” Smart kid. We picked out the […]
In honor of Will’s birthday, we went to the donut shop this morning. We bought 2 dozen donut holes and one chocolate cake donut with sprinkles to hold the 4 candles. The highlight was Will floating around, today, so happy it was his birthday, and Sylvie, following along caught up in Will’s enthusiasm. Will’s big […]
Thank God it is Friday. Our Nanny has been ill all week and what we imagined would be the calmest and cleanest week we’ve had in 4 years was actually one of the harder, dirtier weeks. I’ve swept up a kazillion dried pastas and peppercorns from our many tea parties this week, and still I’m […]
We spent the past weekend in Tahoe at the cabin, and the past two days our Nanny has been very ill leaving me to juggle work and micro-me, so I’m just now getting the chance to record our recent events. Ah, Tahoe. We’ve been watching Deadwood thanks to NetFlix about the North Dakota gold rush […]
As usual, we had a long action packed weekend. Saturday, we went to the Youth in Arts Italian Street Painting Festival in San Rafael to see Dante Diego’s work in progress, and then off to Napa to celebrate Chetan’s big three-oh. (Sylvie at the Festival in tutu and sweater made by me) Chetan’s parents live […]
