Today was a pretty average day at work… we had a somewhat thorny design problem to work out and after that my day was punctuated with pop-ins.  Normally this gets annoying after awhile, but it helped me get refreshed on a bunch of different topics and it made the day go by quickly.  The 80+ […]

Today marked Tasha’s first Mother’s Day, and we were pretty busy!  Things started off with 9:30 am Church followed by breakfast at Denny’s (Tasha’s choice).  Surprisingly, it wasn’t as busy in there as we expected so we got right in.  After that, it was back to the house for a bit and then back to […]

Today was an interesting day at the office.  I knew that my day was going to get punctuated by Eve’s one-month check up, so I went to the office with the intent of having two productive segments of my day and it worked out very well.  I got a bug fixed before a meeting, fostered […]

Today was Eve’s first Easter!  We had a rushed morning getting her all dressed and ready for Church, and after Mass we headed over to our friend Teague’s house to share Easter lunch.  They had a HUGE spread… turkey, ham, four different potato dishes, and tons of desserts.  I ate way too much and much […]

I’ve been shopping around for guitar-building tools on Ebay, and after missing out on a few decent deals I finally got a decent one.  Someone had listed a small vintage Stanley block plane for $0.01.  Shipping was $17.36 from Canada, but I won the plane for the asking price.  I might have to buy a […]

Today was a pretty unspectacular day… normal fires occurred at work, grabbed lunch at Qdoba, and baby care in the evening.  Doug and Shelley brought us enchiladas for dinner, it’s nice to have friends supporting us while we get used to taking care of Eve.  Things are going well on that front as well, so […]

It was a frenzied day at the office today, I was filling in as team lead while one of my coworkers was away on vacation.  Naturally, that made us fairly short staffed and I had to address two issues that need to be fixed quickly so I actually got to do some programming!  After I […]

Today was our seventh wedding anniversary, which is amazing… it seems like only yesterday that we got married.  Today was also Palm Sunday, so we took Eve to Church with us for the first time.  We picked the Mass where they recited the entirety of Christ’s Passion, so it was a long one.  Thankfully, the […]

We had a gorgeous day in Colorado and a fussy baby to console.  After a seemingly unending set of feedings, it was time to hit the road and get some shopping done.  We had to go to the boob store so Tasha could return some nursing supplies, then over to Whole Foods to look for […]

Today marks my return to the office, after the longest break from my professional life that I’ve taken since I started my career in 2004.  I wish I could say that this time off has been restful, but Eve has kept us pretty busy.  I was able to steal a few days of relaxation amidst […]
