An indicator of things to come?

At four weeks, Zach was in the 20th percentile of weight. At one month, Samantha is in the 85th. I can’t help but sense some sort of rivalry here.

Minor, sleep-deprived update

There have been not many updates here because of the following two factors working in conjunction with each other: Samantha doesn’t like to sleep for more than a few hours a night, and Zach thinks that getting up after 6am is a ridiculous proposition. So the routine while I’ve been on leave has been for […]

Greetings from the land of nursery rhymes

(it is important to note that this exchange has no context whatsoever) Me: “Hello, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Zach: “Hello, Old King.”

And now a story about Sarah

We have a fireplace. Things are put by the fireplace to be burned. There is a small pile of newspapers and other such junk mail there. The other day, Sarah was madly fussing around because she couldn’t find an article that had appeared in the local newspaper. She berated me because it turned out that […]

General update

So, August is here (and almost gone again). Since I’ve been unutterably slack at providing updates, I thought I’d assemble all my notes into a semi-coherent list of bullet points. We were down at the library the other day, and ended up walking back to the car with various handfuls of things. Zach didn’t want […]
