A Blogiversary to Remember
And it happened four days ago! I was also a week before realizing I didn’t blog-celebrate Ruthie turning six months old, so forgetting my blogiversary should come as no surprise. But here we are, a...

Not Since I Was A Child
If you’ve ever been there in your life, you know right away that this is the first thing you see heading into the Museum of Natural History. I remember this Elephant statue from elementary school...

Turning Corners
On the other side of six months (she’ll be seven months in a few days), Ruthie has officially turned the corner from infancy to babyhood. It’s a distinction I never contemplated before having...

The Jimmy-Jinx and More Hytte Posten
I’m not a superstitious man. Not necessarily. But since having children I’ve grown to believe- no, I’ve grown to accept the fact that my outward acknowledgments control the fate of things around me....

Noro Jones
Last Monday I (somewhat jokingly, but more or less seriously) complained about Parenting While Hungover on the day after the Super Bowl. It all seems so quaint now. The passing headaches, the...

On the Road Again
Last March, Natalie, Loren and I moved into a one-bedroom apartment in our friends’ basement. It was a sort of nutty idea, moving our soon-to-be four person family into a smaller space instead of...

We Move Tomorrow
I’m 30 now, as Natalie informed you Tuesday, and with age comes wisdom. So what have I learned? I’ve learned that learning is a difficult process. I’ve also learned that to learn is one thing, but...

As the Dust Settles
I wanted to check-in while the kids were napping and I wasn’t actively doing any heavy lifting. We are officially moved into the new place, if not exactly finished moving. I’d say we’re about 75%...

“Our New House in the Big Building”
As expected, it’s been a fast and crazy couple of weeks. The move dominated everything – time, space, energy, focus. Loren, I think, is slowly realizing that this is where we live now. He’s long...

Blog Re-Design and a New Venture
You may have noticed that things around here a looking a tad different than they used to. I decided on a little face-lift for the website. Nothing earth-shattering from a design standpoint, just a...
