Tasha and I completed the last class in our Baby University: First Aid.  We still have a few DVD classes to make up from our Active Childbirth (Bradley) class, but the part of the exercise where we have to be at the hospital three nights out of the week is behind us!  I am full […]

This weekend has been hectic but fun.  We spent most of yesterday shopping and then gaming for my buddy Ed’s birthday, followed quickly by a D&D session on Sunday.  The remainder of the weekend was spent doing our normal end of the month routine, which included some extra baby shopping and the creation of the […]

Today I finally made the time to go to Hobbytown USA.  My buddy Doug got me a gift card for my birthday, and it sat in a basket by the door for almost an entire year before I finally made up my mind that I was going over there and was determined to spend enough […]

Tonight the Waltons are joining us to play some Rock Band and eat some pizza.  It has been a long week with a lot of baby classes, work, and very little time to relax so tonight is a welcome distraction.  This weekend is going to be pretty busy, with a party for one of our […]

I had a productive day of writing unit tests and reviewing code, which I found way more relaxing than I probably should.  The day was still pretty hectic despite this soothing work, with many meeetings and consultations punctuating my productivity.  After that, it was quickly off to Noodles & Company before birthing class, and now […]

I’m going to recap tonight’s workout, since apparently I missed about three workouts since the end of Kangeiko.  Tonight we started out with some simple punch/kick combinations.  We cycled through stances, kibadachi, front stance, back stance, cat stance, and rooted stance, and performed two punches, a rear leg front kick, then two more punches.  Shortly […]

Today was a very baby kind of day.  Tasha and I both slept in a bit, then we proceeded to clean out the basement in preparation for moving some furniture downstairs from the nursery.  After we completed that objective, we grabbed a shower then started decorating the nursery.  We made it a long way toward […]

Tonight, as we finished up an evening of errands and Church we stopped by King Sooper’s.  We did our shopping and then went out to load the groceries.  Tasha put her key in the lock and then lifted to raise the trunk, then *clink* it broke right off.  Luckily, the grocery store is only a […]

Tonight we were watching a news report on tiger habitats, where they employed Bob Barker‘s ample celebrity power to advertise their cause.  The venerable Mr. Barker is looking quite old these days, every bit of his 87 years.  I commented on this and Tasha said “well maybe he’s like Bilbo Baggins, who aged rapidly after […]
