Story Corps

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 […]

2006 Training

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. […]

Road Trip

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 […]

Do It eBay

My iPod sold for $162.50. Woo Hoo. Looks like I’m taking a trip to the Apple store soon.

Never Say Never

At some point in my life, the following three phrases have passed my lips:

“I will never drive an SUV.”
“I will never join a sorority.”

Thankfully, the Trojan bus did finally find it’s way to the Ducks stadium and […]

Quack

I sure hope that SC finds their way to the stadium soon. The Ducks are doing some damage while they wait for the Trojans to show up.

Eight Months

Dillon,
I’ve been procrastinating this post most of the week, unsure of exactly what to say and how to say it. The truth is, peanut, that this has been one of the most difficult months I’ve had since you’re birth. This past month has been filled with many incredible milestones and equally as many […]

Snap Happy

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. […]

The End of an Era

Shortly after we moved to Seattle, we realized that living close to downtown (and Chris’ office) greatly reduced our need for two cars. We agreed to give it some time before we made any quick decisions, but after settling in with Dillon and getting a better idea of our extra-curricular schedule, the decision was […]
