Today is Thursday, but whatever. 1. Happy Easter! 2. We went to Kansas. We went to Kansas because Karianne’s Grandpa Eddie was turning 90. It was great to see him and her Grandma, Clara. Eddie turned 90 on Saturday, and on Sunday Clara was talking about getting old; she said, “Well, Eddie’s 90, pushing 91.” […]

Thanks again to the Wards for coming up with another one of our great ideas. They have “Five on Friday” on their blog, and the Ryans have “Seven on Sunday”, so we decided to do “Whatever Wednesday.” On Wednesdays, we’ll post some things that have happened in the past week. Or we might forget. Whatever. […]

These are from a couple of weeks ago. I took them first thing in the morning, when I went in to get Kaeta up — she was already up and entertaining her many guests. [Download Video, 4.5Mb] [Download Video, 6.9Mb]

Jonah is bummed that his favorite show, Friday Night Lights, isn’t coming back after the writers’ strike. (***UPDATE*** It turns out the Friday Night Lights IS coming back! See the comments for more info. Jonah is elated.) He is always asking about his football buddies, and his ultimate goal is to be QB1 of the […]

Jonah’s new activities include playing in his saucer, laughing, and blowing bubbles (which is really one of the cutest things we’ve ever seen — that’s what he’s doing in the third picture). He still doesn’t enjoy tummy time very much (as you can see), but this morning he had rolled onto his tummy in his […]

Hah! I beat out Kaethe Ward! It’s been over four years since we moved away! Just so you know, before you’re allowed to live in Pittsburgh, they make you sign a contract that you will be a lifelong Steelers fan. In blood. And they enforce it. You are 75% Pittsburgh. Come on. I know you […]

Yes, I know, we are almost a week late with this, but we forgot to post the 2-month picture and we missed the 1-month shot completely. (Although we did actually take the picture on time!) This is a new thing we’re doing, trying to capture the same angle with the same stuffed animal to measure […]

Jonah rotated himself 90 degrees from how we laid him under his toy. Sometimes we find him even 180 degrees from where we put him! This is one of his new favorite things.

A couple of quick Kaeta stories from this week: The other day, Kaeta was playing with some Lego blocks. Karianne asked what she was doing, and she proudly announced, “I’m makin’ a robot!” That’s my little prodigy! Today I called Karianne at home, but she was putting Jonah down for a nap and said she’d […]

Kaeta has started to use her imagination more. Last night, one page of her bedtime story showed a dog. “That puppy dog goin!” she said. “Where’s he going?” “Goin’ ta get ice water!” Also, she likes to play with her stuffed animals, usually by putting them to bed or changing their diaper. When she puts […]
