The Chase Is On. (A Video)
Remember this video from a couple of years ago? I have a new one in the same vein. Unfortunately, I cut off the end somehow, but this is how it goes every night lately around these parts. These are my boys: Here’s another one: Rest assured, Murray still gets to chase Em around as well.…

Elliot Has A Bath In The Kitchen Sink
Isn’t he cute? I’m biased, it’s true. But I want to eat him every minute of every day. He’s now 9 months old! Why does time fly so fast after you have kids? SLOW DOWN, LIFE.

My Family
Em’s teachers recently asked all the kids to bring in pictures of their family. I had to send two along since we don’t have any shots including all four of us. Are we a minority here? Is this common? I’ve been curious. Anyway, that’s no longer the case. Last Sunday, at my graduation, my father…

Tales About Nothing
Emory has an imaginary friend named Nothing. Nothing is with him most of the time and travels with us in Emory’s pocket. The existence of Nothing has spawned some pretty profound, existential conversations as of late. Here are a few of our more recent conversations. Conversation One Em: “Nothing is in my pocket.” Me: “Oh…

The Comfort Of Strangers. (I’m Her Ghost.)
We live on the fifth floor of an apartment building that overlooks several houses and backyards. We chose the fifth floor because of the view. And over the years we’ve gotten to know the people who make up that view even though they have no idea who we are. I take a great deal of…

Updates on Random
I’m so sorry for my lack of updates. Between the lollipop business, Elliot, Emory, and pastry school, I’m having a great deal of trouble finding time. But check out this picture of my family? These bastards keep getting in the way of blogging. I know, right? It’s a good thing they’re cute. I’m also in…

Some Pictures and a Video.
Toby took this without my knowing and I love it. How come it’s always the pictures taken without my knowing I enjoy the most? Probably because I stick my tongue out or make an ugly face when I know someone is taking my picture. Anyway… My father took this of the boys while we were…

Driving and Puking
Elliot hates the car. I am not sure how to put this, really. Everything I write here sounds like an exaggeration. But it’s that bad. You’ll just have to take my word for it. Here’s the situation. He tolerates the seat just fine and has sat in it, NOT moving, for a bit without so…

My Boys.
Sorry it’s been so long. But look at this chin! I can’t stop smooching his fat little head. I kind of wish he was a more difficult baby and less squishy cute, because he has me wanting more. MORE BOYS! His favorite person is Emory. No matter how upset or grumpy Elliot is, if Em…

House of Sickness
Forgive me for the lack of posts; it’s been a crazy couple of weeks. First, Elliot got sick. (It had nothing to do with a vaccine; he hasn’t yet received one.) He just came down with Em’s cold, as did I. But having a sick newborn sucks. There’s nothing you can do for them and…
