Dear Zoey, You turned 4 years old today. Okay, that’s not true at all. You turned 4 years old 10 days ago, and this post is late like most things we do these days. But you like to pretend that every day is your birthday, so I know you won’t mind. (Make that 18 days. [...]
I finally pulled a bunch of photos (almost 400) off of our camera’s mini hard drive. I whittled that down to 127 and uploaded those to Flickr. They include a belated Hanukkah with Grandma Arlene, and a visit to Grandpa Lou and Rachel’s house up in Bellingham; a snowy Christmas day in Portland at Grandma [...]
Keegan’s got (at least) six teeth poking through now, and he also has a cold that Zoey kindly shared with him. We’re taking him in tomorrow to see Dr. Tracy. It was supposed to be for a shot (can’t remember which one) but I don’t think they’ll give it to him when they hear his [...]
We had another nice relaxing Thanksgiving with the Hesses, the Mashlans, and Auntie Bonnie. Thanks (heh) to Rona’s new wheat / milk / egg-free food plan, we had to get creative with some of our dishes. Several things were doubled up, with traditional and alternate versions. It was all good. Ala Alton Brown, we brined [...]
Zoey’s Family Originally uploaded by FrogTaco Z is running around naked today, so rather than a live photo of her, here’s one from the other day when we went to get holiday pix taken of the kids. We stopped by Old Navy on the way, and Zoey had to hold hands with all of the [...]
Thanksgiving pumpkin Originally uploaded by FrogTaco Keegan’s still teething like a madman, with #4 popping through on his upper middle left (his left). He’s helping me get stuff ready for Thanksgiving.
This little guy is a go-getter when it comes to popping out teeth. Today he squeezed out tooth #3, on the top middle right. Last night was rather un-fun, with Toothy working on his pearly whites all night long. Sleep? Bah! Overrated.
Today was Keegan’s six-month appointment. We got some erythromycin for his goopy eye, since it hasn’t yet cleared up on its own, and he is otherwise doing great! He weighs 19 pounds, 9 ounces. Rona and had checkups too, and we both have high cholesterol. Rona’s blood pressure is perfect as always, but mine is [...]
Today is the fourth day in a row that Zoey and Sarah (granddaughter across the street) have played together. It’s also the fourth day Sarah’s been in town. Zoey is loving this, and we think it’s great, too! Right now Zoey is across the street playing soccer and blowing bubbles and drawing with sidewalk chalk [...]
A couple (three?) weeks ago Cousin Evalynne and crew were in town shortly on their way to an Alaskan cruise. Rona had to teach that morning, but the kids and I headed downtown to meet up with the Long Island Cousins and Grandpa Robert and Grandma Barb. Zoey was having a bit of a cranky [...]
