  • Cupcake! WOW!

    I’ve been baking cupcakes for Monday’s Mom It Down. I’m learning stuff, perfecting stuff by simplifying it as much as I can. In doing so, I have had quite a few cupcakes around lately. This is what happens when Emory realizes there are cupcakes in the house. http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377   And we’re not sure where this…

  • Datadoo!

    A few weeks ago, we had a parent-teacher conference at Em’s preschool. He was 19-months-old at the time and I assure you, the absurdity here does not escape me. But this is the sort of thing that happens when you combine over-achieving, uppity parents with bloated, private school tuitions. They come up with parent-teacher conferences…

  • My Son Loves The Vacuum.

    I have no idea how this happened, but Em loves the vacuum. He treats it like a pet. He requests I take it out of the closet at least once per day, which is kind of sad considering he might think we keep a pet in the closet. He likes the Dyson so much, he…

  • Emory Is Actually An Old Polish Man

    This is how Emory reacts to the hammering taking place on the floor above. We have no idea where he got this from. But it totally reminds me of our previous neighbors and their pipe-banging antics. My favorite part is where Toby Joe says, “STOP IT!” and Emory laughs, like, dude, that’s SO NOT THE…

  • Em Dancin' To Ted Leo.

    Emory dances a lot. He has two dances. The first one (which we can’t seem to capture on video) is by far my favorite. He shakes his head really fast from side to side until he gets dizzy and falls down. It’s truly one of the most outstanding things you’ll ever witness. The video I…

  • CNN Outside Lehman Brothers Headquarters.

    Forgive me for the horrible quality of this video. I don’t have the fancy equipment needed to do this. Plus, our TV died last week, so we’re using the 70-dollar tube we purchased from a Radio Shack in San Francisco. But it’s clear enough that I think you’ll get the point. The United States woke…

  • Finding Comfort

    It’s been a while. I have no excuse. The sounds you hear are of Em in the background playing with Tupperware, his new favorite toy. (This is video for a series called Stories For My Son.) Below is a video showing how Em uses the orange pillow, which is precisely how he acted with the…

  • The Goiker

    I shot two videos today. The second one is an outtake. I simply had to include it because it’s damn funny. The Final Video The Outtake I have to admit, recording these videos makes me feel entirely too self conscious. And if they’re difficult for me to watch, I can’t imagine how hard it is…

  • There Will Be Whiskey.

    Today has been the longest day of my life. Maybe. I realize I say “I haven’t been able to record a video today” and I’m saying as much on a video. I don’t have much of a rational mind left today. What more can I say. No excuse. Simple truth. (See previous Stories For My…

  • Fudgepacking Happiness.

    (Note to self: You know what’s funny about this one? This is the first video you took telling that particular story and when you totally derailed yourself midway through you went on to take a few more. Yet, after watching them all, you settled on this one because it’s more you and Emory will most…
