…the inspection of our old house on Courtland Place. Please send us good thoughts.
We got the offer Sunday night. It was a VERY low-ball offer. We had just lowered the price Wednesday of last week. We countered with it closer to what we wanted and she accepted pending the inspection. YAY! It is [...]
So, now we continue on to the following day. As Evan wrote before, it was a day of waiting. I had to wait for my bp to keep rising. I had to wait for ibuprofen, more blood draws, and the iron IV. Then, I could go home. I was supposed to be able to leave [...]

Oliver was the name we had decided on the night before. We were eleven and a half weeks along. We felt all along he was a boy, and although we have no actual evidence, he will always be a boy for us.
The day started with a beautiful [...]
On Thursday, February 16, 2006, I’d guess between 7 and 8 am, our baby miscarried. I still haven’t really had a chance to absorb the impact of this fact, because Rona started hemorrhaging. She was losing prodigious amounts of blood, and passed out at least once at home. I made various calls to our midwives, [...]
This morning, much to my surprise, Cable Guy #3 appeared at the door. He’s #3 because he’s the third one Comcast has sent out to get us up and running with their Digital Voice service. The first dude (and he was definitely a Dude) did the least possible work he could do and still leave [...]
I went to Sears yesterday to complain about our dishwasher. It hasn’t been cleaning our dishes and doesn’t compare at all in quality to the same brand and similar price model from 7 years ago. I have a big list, but I wont go into it here. I ranted enough yesterday with Stan the sales [...]
Some of you might recall the addictive puzzle-solving game Lemmings from way back when. If you liked it then, you’ll probably like it now, online, for free. Why, I’d be playing it now if I weren’t in the midst of editing a book. Oh, right—I’d best get back to that…
(I just tried the link again [...]
Word on the parenting street is that no matter your good intentions, Kid #2 always has fewer photos taken to prove his or her childhood happened. Well, we aim to try to keep taking lots of photos, especially since we have such a nice, expensive camera. Just to prove our point, here’s the first ever [...]
Thanks to Washington Wind Storm 2006!, Yesterday morning at around 8 o’clock our power went out. The fine folks at Seattle City Light got it back on at around 6:30pm, but our cable TV/phone/Internet was down until some time this morning. For the record, underground utilities are neat and all, but they don’t help much [...]
Are you ready? Really ready? Okay.
We are listing our Courtland Place House today! Here is the Windermere listing. How cute does our little place look??? With lots and lots of help (Thanks to Brian and Jen and Talia and Luis!), we spread bark and gravel (Evan did the gravel all by himself!). We had [...]
