Because if you are, could you pick up a package of size 4 Pampers with me and Graham on it? Yes, 10 months after the last photo shoot, Proctor & Gamble finally made their decision. According to the photographer, it’s the picture of Graham stacking a block on my head. I wonder if I’ll ever [...]

Yes, Graham is 2 years old… which I find odd since I’m pretty sure he was born about 30 seconds ago. I keep waiting for his “difficult stage” to start. But so far he is all about being amiable and affectionate. Granted, he’ll automatically answer any yes/no question with a “NO”. And every task is [...]

Yes, it’s about that time. Graham will be 2 soon so clearly he needs his own shiny new twitter account. I swear we’re not just trying to be trendy. It really is a great way to have a record of what they say, because, let’s face it, I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast [...]

Poor second child.) weight: 26 lbs height: 34″ (both around 50th%) Graham-lish: replaced by toddlerese (“Rawr-rawr bite… ‘fraid.”) voice: not unlike Kermit’s finally has a name for the most important person in his life: La La (Violet) alphabet: obsessed idea of the perfect day: eating while watching videos, clutching Nunu [...]

There is no way to describe how awesome this kid is. But I’d better try because the Terrible Twos and Theatrical Threes are fast approaching. I know he can’t possibly be this easy-going, happy, sweet and affectionate forever. For now I’m enjoying him waking up laughing, cheering at every request, entertaining himself, randomly bestowing kisses [...]

Our anniversary was earlier this month. It just so happened to be the wedding weekend of my best friend from college, in the same town we where Rob and I met and had our own wedding. So we left the kids and flew across the country. This was our first trip alone since Violet was [...]

(Today’s post is brought to you by my amazing husband and mother-in-law who have taken the kids out to let me get some things done.) We’ve been trying to teach Graham sign language, really we have. But it’s a much more difficult task when your hands are busy doing something for the first born child. [...]

We never heard back from Pampers, or the photographer for that matter. A few months after G’s last photo shoot I sent her a vaguely sneaky email saying something like, “You know how you promised to send me some shots? The ones Pampers didn’t want? Or the ones of Violet? Well, I just realized that [...]

Rob had a fundraiser gig with the Texas River School last Saturday. Every month, on the Saturday closest to the full moon, there is a potluck dinner at the Texas Rowing Center. A band plays music on a raft tied to the dock. At 7:30 the raft pushes off, everyone hops into canoes or kayaks [...]

I hate to compare the kids. Okay. That’s not true. I like to compare them. Let’s face it. It’s interesting. (I’ll just try to avoid future statements like “Your brother eats his peas. Why can’t you be like him?” or “Your sister can leap off the back of the couch without breaking her arm, why [...]
