Spitting Images

One day Remy started sticking out his tongue all the time.  Not sure why, but it was cute.  Then as quickly as that habit came, it was replaced by the spitting.  Minutes of zerbert type spits.  Since he doesn’t seem to do this when he’s completely engaged in something, we think it might be [...]

Run Of Luck

I headed out in the balmy 68-70 degree weather for my hour run loop and was briefly waylayed by a four leaf clover in my yard.  I have a talent in finding those things and I don’t even have to be looking.  I take it as a sign of luck when that happens because [...]

2008 Reading List

I started the current reading list back in December 22nd of 2007, and it’s getting a bit unweildy.  It’s time to move the finished items off the page and start new for 2009.  I’m pretty impressed with how much is there although I imagine the pace will remain slowed due to other priorities (errr..Remy).  It [...]

Things I Was Wrong About

1.  Both Gary and I have a full head of hair.  Thick hair.  I figured our progeny would be the same, but so far that is not the case.  He has a light smattering of fine brown hair. 

2.  Both Gary and I were on the small side when young.  We figured our child [...]

First Christmas

Big day for the little one, not that he’ll remember any of it.  That’s what pictures are for, right?   We didn’t get that many, but did manage to get sort of a shot of Remy’s special Christmas outfit.  The reindeer on the butt is adorable.  So cute, apparently, that my mother and I couldn’t [...]

Bouncy Babbling Boy

Remy’s building some bouncing skills.  I got some video from this morning of him in the door jumper thing, but he’s better at it this evening.  Boing boing boing.  I knew he was going to love that thing once he figured it out.

He’s also been quite the babbler lately, especially when [...]

Burley Solo In The House

I’ve been looking at bike trailer options for months now and settled on the Burley Solo as the most preferred because (A) the maker has good reviews and (B) it’s one of the few one-child options out there.  Why do so many people buy trailers for two?  I guess lots of people have more than [...]

Why Cell Phones Are Important

I was a late adopter on the mobile phone wave.  I mean, why do people need to get in touch with me at ALL times?  Maybe I just want to be unavailable sometimes.  Be that what it may, eventually I caved for business reasons and have become a cell phone toter (when I don’t [...]

Enough Bibs And Bike Number Five

I used to think we had way too many bibs.  Hardly used, they sat in the drawer– all 10 or so of them.  That was until the drooling kicked itself into high gear.  Now we use several bibs a day to capture the waterfall of saliva (yum) that cascades from my child’s mouth almost every [...]

Reindeer Run And Birthday

Congratulations to my mother who won her age group yet again at the Chatham 5k Reindeer Run this past Saturday.  Not a bad birthday present for the petite and talented grandmother of Remy.  We have generations of athletic role models in this family!
