Growing up too fast

Only this time, technically, it’s not costumes. It was our Anniversary dinner. At a fancy restaurant. Downtown. No kids. Just the two of us and several hundred people who could have been our grandparents. I’m serious, the restaurant had a very different demographic than… us. But the food […]

I’ve reached an age when candles are to be read instead of counted.

I also managed to do a better job with the dairy-free cake for my birthday than the
disaster that was Jim’s cake.

I am beginning to suspect that Evie may have a sensitivity to something I’m eating. She’s had a bad case of baby acne for a couple of weeks now, but in the last few days it has become a lot more severe, making me wonder if it’s a rash or excema or something. […]

After three straight days of cancelled day care from a freakish ice storm (no doubt caused exclusively by Jim having moved here to Austin, thus bringing the cold weather along), we finally ventured out of the house this evening to the grocery store. There, we met the entire population of North Austin. Fortunately, […]

Sunday night we went to a Mexican restaurant (which will remane unnamed) for dinner. Monday, the puking commenced around 5:30am.

I’m having a problem with the conservation of momentum. I have been completely slacking off in the training department over the last couple of weeks. A lot of it I think has to do with Jim’s bike ride being over so we aren’t constantly focusing on fitness here at the House of Cranky […]

Pink M&Ms to support Breast Cancer Research
I bought 2 bags this week. The funniest part is that Zane thinks they are his favorite snack, grapes, and gets really mad because I won’t give him any (he saw them in a bowl on the counter and even though I moved them he still points to […]

This week something important had to take priority over blogging for me. Sleep. It has been a constant challenge with Zane and it reached a breaking point over the last few weeks. I have been getting less and less sleep as Zane continued waking up to 7 times a night (sometimes more) […]

I just finished up a package of chocolates I brought back from my recent trip to Alaska to share with my colleagues. I think my colleagues in total ate about 1/8 of the chocolates.
