“Oh what a circus” (Evita)

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Daily life in our house is still crazy at this point. Max sleeps through the night once in a while, but most often wakes up at some  point for another bottle.  Evan and Sophie are still struggling with their sleep habits – mostly at bedtime. Dad’s still haven’t had a great nights sleep since October.  [...]

“There’s nothing like packing a suitcase…” (Anything Goes)

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

We headed back to Kauai this year for another week at Kiahuna Plantation. We went the same week that we went in 2009, and got lucky with 9 amazing days of warmth and sunshine. A few things were different this year. We had one more child with us, so we were very happy to have [...]

“The Pajama Game”

Monday, January 25th, 2010

It has been a very interesting few days. It was about Thursday, Jan 21, that it all started. It happened to be Matthew’s 21st birthday, but that comes in a little later. We noticed that in the morning, Evan would climb into Sophie’s crib, and they would play there until 7 O’clock when it was [...]

I’m just a Broadway Baby

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Okay, Max isn’t really a Broadway baby just yet…Wednesday was Max’s 3-month birthday. He’s really come a long way. He’s big and heavy, and is still just a perfect baby. Not much crying, just sleeping & eating, and a lot more awake time. I’ve been trying to get him to smile really big for the [...]

“Dat’s a rainy day” (Showboat)

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

MLK Day was a VERY rainy day. Daddy’a had the day off and spent a great day at home with Matthew and kids.

“Trouble, oh we got trouble” (Music man)

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Evan and Sophie are great kids, and they love each other  – but – I have to post this video here only so that I can show it to them years from now! The funny part of the video is that you can see neither one of them cares that much about the toy!

Afternoon “fun” [...]

“May your days be merry and bright” (White Christmas

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

Christmas came and went as fast as it could.  Evan seemed to understand what was going on – he knew Santa was coming, knew Santa brought presents, and kept a look out for Christmas trees in every house we went by. Sophie seemed to go along for the ride. Her language skills are progressing quickly [...]

“I’m eating fancy chow And drinking fancy wine” (Sweet Charity)

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Mornings start early but usually are loaded with happy kids and fun.

Daddies

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

About 3 weeks ago we evolved into Daddy’a’ and Daddy’o’.  We had been using Daddy for both of us since Evan was born. Up until 2 months ago, it worked fine. If Evan said “Daddy” and got the wrong one, he would just say “no – other Daddy”. We knew Evan was starting to struggle [...]

“Could be, we three get along so famously” (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang)

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Evan and Sophie had colds this week. It didn’t get very bad for either of them. Some coughing and general grumpiness was about it. Daddies and Max and Matthew never seemed to get it, so it must have been mild and it looks like were headed into Thanksgiving with a completely healthy crew! Sophie is [...]
