Every morning I turn on NPR in our kitchen and listen to the news while we go about the routine. Most of the time, it’s background buzz until something catches my ear and then I pay as close attention as possible with a squealing baby in the room.
Morning Edition has been running a series […]
Since Dillon’s birth, I’ve been in and out of the gym but haven’t really been invested in the whole process. Finally, I’ve realized that it’s time to find some serious external motivation. It’s time for me to get back to training for the century that I had to sit out last year. […]
Dillon and I took a road trip up to Bellingham to spend the day with Katie and Janie. Since moving into the city, our driving habits have changed quite a bit, compared to our former suburban life, and I was really looking forward to a long drive. Unfortunately, neither of the babes got […]

Yes, more pictures. What can I say, this is what we do now. We can’t sleep in, we’re at his beck and call, there are latches on all of our cupboards and we run around chasing after this rugrat who’s kicking our ass. Pictures are our joy. Call it love, blackmail…whatever. […]
Shortly after we moved to Seattle, we realized that living close to downtown (and Chris’ office) greatly reduced our need for two cars.
