Sleep Update
So Lulu’s 1. How’s she sleeping? About the same. I’d say we’re still averaging up twice a night. We had a short stretch a week or so ago when she was doing no less than 3 times a night. She’d wake anywhere between 11 – 12, then up again around 3 and up once more […]
A Real Workout
Now that Lauren’s 1 and Jen is off the full time nursing she’s started hitting the gym a couple of times a week. They just opened a new LA Boxing down the road from work, so that’s pretty convenient. I too need to start some kind of exercise routine. I managed to get out last […]
What’s to Come
After a couple of weeks of gift buying frenzy, we decided to take stock and assess. Some is going back. Some is being withheld. Most is going under the tree. Don’t worry Grandma A. The larger – more physical – items are not in this picture. They will stay in the garage until the night […]
More Stove Chow Please
Since the season is so mild and Home Depot still has plenty of Stove Chow at a great price, Lauren and I picked up a few more bags this weekend. I find it kind of funny after marrying a girl who said she’s never date a guy with a pickup truck that her daughters absolutely […]
Winter Rack
Started sorting out my winter climbing rack the upcoming trips this year. That’s 9 lbs. of gear. Probably won’t need so many ice screws for the Adirondack trip. First things first – mark all my gear. I used hot pink nail polish to remind myself with every placement that I’ve got three girls waiting for […]
Lauren Apocalypse
I’ve made the mistake of likening Lauren’s newly acquired walking skill and insatiable appetite with that of a zombie. She spends her day bumbling around, arms in the air making un-intelligible sounds searching for food, attention or toys. It’s really cute. Even when Abigail quotes “Uh oh! Here comes the Lauren Apocalypse!”. Though not very […]
Jack White & The Black Keys
Abigail is identifying Jack White’s “I’m Shakn’” and The Black Keys “Little Black Submarines” almost regularly. Sometimes she’ll sing a little of Ben Howard’s “Only Love”. Yeah. There isn’t any of that Barney crap around here. Maybe some Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Old McDonald, but that’s about it. – b
Boat Load of Stuff
Went into the Christmas Tree Shop yesterday looking for a single item. First time I’d ever been. Came out with a cart full of gifts. What was supposed to be a single item deal quickly became a few stocking stuffers, then ended up being a sleigh full of stuff. Christmas is fun with kids. – […]
