Here are a few Kaeta stories I’ve been meaning to blog. The other day we had some friends over, and I had a beer with dinner. The bottle was still sitting on the table half-full as we were cleaning up after eating. I was putting a plate in the dishwasher when someone gasped — I […]

Kaeta is potty training, and she’s doing really well. So sometimes we let her sit alone on her potty for a few minutes and just check on her every so often. The other day she was in the bathroom alone, and then we heard her messing with the toilet seat, so Karianne went to check […]

If you don’t want to hear a poop story, you should skip this one. And the next one. In fact, to be safe, you might just want to go read a different blog altogether. When you have a boy, everyone warns you about “getting sprayed.” From my experience, this is a valid concern, but Jonah […]

I’ve been meaning to blog a whole bunch of little things lately. Here are the non-kid-related things, and I’ll put some kid stories in another post.

Now, a brief digression: Once I was reading an […]

Tonight at bedtime I read one of Kaeta’s favorite Dr. Seuss books, Oh, the Places You’ll Go. Near the end, there’s the line: “Kid, you’ll move mountains!” Tonight I was really into the book, and when I got to that line, I set the book down, picked Kaeta up over my head, and said, “KID, […]

For our 5th anniversary, I asked our friend Kellie Ryan from Pittsburgh to do a drawing for Karianne based on one of our wedding photos. It turned out great! From even a few feet away, it looks like a photograph — she did an amazing job. You can check out her art here. Thanks, Kellie!

Yes, I know, we haven’t even posted Jonah’s baptism photos yet… but in an attempt to stay current, here are some Christmas galleries: 1. The Zilker Park Christmas Tree. This is a big tree made out of lights. The tradition is to stand underneath it, hold hands with someone, look up, and spin around. Given […]
