Jan. 21: Last night we had a great time spending a few hours with our Happy Bambino baby friends. The kids are all getting so big, and it was amazing (if a bit overwhelming) to watch them all buzzing about the party. The acoustics were that of a happy (and sometimes sad) group of 18 [...]
Jan. 21: I’m watching snowflakes drift lazily through the air outside our house. The pine trees look like they belong in a gingerbread scene, and the maples are etched in a pure line of white. I just love snow! Andrew is better from his fever last week, and we are having a fun-filled weekend together. [...]

Mom, Joe, and Michael joined the Dotzours, and we caravaned to Jack’s together in our van. The weather was very-nearly balmy, [...]
Jan. 4: After 15 days of vacation, I went back to work on Wednesday. I wasn’t sure how it would feel to return to the world of the working after such a long and wonderful vacation at home with my little boy, but I’m pleased to report that we’re all doing very well. It helps [...]
Jan 1: We had a nice time this year…ushering out 2006 and welcoming 2007. Bryan, Andrew, and I spent the evening with Sarah and Wes. We played games, sang along with Kareoke Revolution, and generally had a really nice time. We have spent many of the last eight new years together, and it’s a fun [...]
Jan. 1: I sit here on New Year’s Day eve, going through the files on my laptop. I ran across a couple old websites that I thought I might post here for general entertainment. The first is a website I made in 1999 just as I was about to graduate from college. I put together [...]
