hugs

| December 5, 2008

Z has been super huggy the last few weeks. This morning (when he woke up @ 540), he greeted me with a 10+ minute hug. He’s also recently learned to lock his fingers behind your neck (I’m waiting for the next step : choking mommy & daddy!). I’ve heard it gets better, but I’m not [...]

hi

| October 23, 2008

Such a short word, but so amazing when uttered by a toddler, or mine at least in my current frame of reference. We were playing hide & seek with the shower curtain the other night and I would hide from him, and then show my face and say “Hi!”  Then he started doing it.  It’s [...]

John McCain – can we trust him with younger, sexier, countries?

| October 22, 2008

Dear John, I know you held me dear in your heart, through torture & trials, and held onto dreams of return. Well, now that we’ve been back together these last few decades you’ve tried your best to love me I know, but are you sure you’re ready to take it to the next level? I’ve [...]

hide n’ shit

| September 17, 2008

or: “No one likes a close pooper!” Z has started doing the “run over into the corner, squat, and shit” thing that I’ve heard so many stories about other children doing.  Happily, he isn’t hiding behind a curtain or something (whose kid was that?)…but he does have to go stand away from you, often in [...]

the fourth or fifth thing

| August 24, 2008

(you didn’t count did you!?) … is that we’re pregnant again!  Of course if you follow both of our blogs, you know this already, because Jen already posted.  So yeah, go us. Woo hoo!  I’m so glad for them (Z & #2) that they will only be 21 months apart.  I wanted them even closer [...]

update

| June 27, 2008

So, yeah, haven’t posted much lately.  I don’t have a whole lot of time to write, and what I have had this last week was spent working on a small guide for City of Villains – for the Crab Soldier archetype I mentioned in a previous post. Anyway, if you’re curious about that kind of [...]

I was woken up this morning

| June 14, 2008

…by the back of Z’s head crashing into my eyebrow. It was very strange, like being woken up by a punch to the face (or the eye/forehead). He was fine, laughing and playing and spazzing around…but I was not. OWCH.

my two favorite people

| June 13, 2008

Like duh, you know who they are. You were thinking maybe Trinity & Neo? Turner and Hooch? Clark and Gable? Noo! It’s my awesome wife and the gallon-sized ball of love, drool & clawing fingers that is my son. + some photoshopping. Because although the weather up here may suck, it’s not that weird. Drawing [...]

“wreck that meatbox!” or “they have a black section and a white section”

| May 17, 2008

So we met some friends of ours (hi Webers), and friends of theirs (hi Jason & Dirk) at the Soapbox, err Saucebook, Saucebox. Whatever. That’s right – we took our baby into a bar. And rocked that shit. Married couples & wobblers can still party. Oh yes we can. OK, so we didn’t party. I [...]

Obama hits Bend – 1st candidate in 40 years

| May 11, 2008

He was over there yesterday I guess, the first presidential candidate in ~40 years to stop in.   More here. Happy Mother’s Day all you mothers, and I hope your partners (those crazy mother fuckers!) took care of you today. Zain gave me a face hug this morning.  It was the most adorable thing ever.
