What did you get for Christmas?  Me?  Five prescriptions.  Yes, I said five.  Technically, I guess I got pneumonia and a sinus infection for Christmas and the prescriptions were for Boxing Day.  Do you give presents for Boxing Day?  Anyway.  At least Nathan is better.  We had two middle of the night trips to the [...]

New picture of Nathan.
And so this isn’t completely off-topic we have three people left for which to buy Christmas presents. And we have a five month old baby who refuses to sleep. Ever. I’m pretty proud. Of the shopping, not the not sleeping. Oh, and everything that has been delivered? [...]

That fills me with more joy than is probably rational. Because we’ll be there. Not just because it’s going to be cool somewhere. We’re getting [...]

We went to Minnesota to introduce [...]

My Jessika was here last weekend and one of the many things we discussed during our languid afternoon spent on my back patio was that sometimes you come to the end of the internet.  You’re minding your own business surfing along and all of the sudden there really isn’t anything more to catch your fancy.  [...]

Dear Nathaniel,
We had a hot dog party for you tonight. Some day soon you’ll understand your daddy’s obsession with the Pigeon books - you can thank My Jessika for that. Although, I guess now she is your Jessika too. I don’t mind sharing her with you. I don’t mind sharing anything [...]

I saw the doctor today and it looks like tonight is the night.  I’m not at all a candidate for induction so we’ll go in this evening and if they aren’t diverting non-emergency patients then by tomorrow morning I’ll have my son in my arms.  I’m overwhelmed to say the least.
