When I Wish…

We’ve set Dillon up with his own Amazon.com Wishlist!! Woo Hoo!

A Good Night’s Sleep

By most standards, Dillon isn’t quite sleeping through the night. But when I’m use to (and quite enjoy) getting up super early anyhow, he’s nearly there. We put him down at around 8:00 pm last night and he slept until 3:30 am!! When he woke up, he was understandably hungry, but quite […]

Two Months

Dear Dillon,
Only two short months ago you came into our lives, and yet I only vaguely remember what life was like before you arrived. Although I find so much joy in watching experience and learn and grow, it breaks my heart to think of how big you have already become and how quickly this next […]

Have Sofa, Will Sit.

After much turmoil (update), our new sofa is here!!! It’s ginormous and goes so well with our huge TV. Thank you so much to the friend, who will remain nameless, with the great Pottery Barn hookup. We couldn’t have made this move and furnished our new house without you.
And people wonder why […]

Car Shopping

Since we’ve been in the city and rarely driving more than for errands and family outtings, we’ve decided it’s time to move down to one car. At some point, we figure that as we get more involved and Dillon gets more active in things, we may need a second car. But for the […]

Working World

I’m back at work these days as the contract I was working on in Virginia called me up for more work. I’m excited for the opportunity to bring in some money and work with this software again, but it’ll sure take some juggling to make the schedule work.
As before, I’m working from home (obviously, […]

Fair Warning

Being pissed off is always better than being pissed on, or so our good friend Jason tells me. Boy is he ever right! Little boys should come with a warning light or something. And it was right in the middle of changing one of the messiest diapers!

Discovering Seattle

Chris and I took Dillon out to discover our new home a bit this weekend. It was another beautiful day in Seattle (we’re on borrowed time at this point) and we didn’t want to waste it.
We’re really close to the Lake Washington Ship Canal Ballard Locks and Fish Ladder. Pretty nice little park […]

Sleeping Success?

I’m probably going to ruin whatever it is that we have going on here simply by writing this post. But here goes nothing.
We have this game that we play with Dillon. He falls asleep in our arms, we put him down in his bed and if he didn’t wake up in […]

Lawn Boy

Now that we own a “real” house, we have a “real” yard. It’s quite a bit larger than the postage size patio we had at the townhouse, wich translates into quite a bit more lawn to mow. Not that we had to tend to the yard in Virginia, thanks to the condo association […]
