I mentioned in an earlier post that Ronin and I never get any time alone together, and that he has been saying that he loves Justin more than he loves me. Last weekend Justin and I decided that I would get to take Ronin all by myself for a full day, while Justin watched Claire [...]

“Claire, why do you be so mean to me?”
Posted in Uncategorized on February 10, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Claire has been going through a cranky phase lately. I came home from work last week and Mom and I overheard this conversation between Claire and Ronin. Ronin: Why do you be so mean to me? Claire: Because I’m getting older and that’s what happens when you get older. You get mean. Ronin: But why [...]

I was able to get my hands on some of my mom’s pictures from Monterey, so I thought I would include them.
Another trip to Monterey, and car troubles
Posted in Uncategorized on January 15, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
The last time I went to Monterey, both my mom and Justin were a little wistful. The aquarium is so wonderful, and they would have liked to see it again, and share the experience with our children, who add such enthusiasm to these kinds of adventures. The weekend was supposed to be warm and sunny, [...]
Christmas card pictures that didn’t make it

I think this might qualify as a yearly tradition now. Here is a selection of pictures that didn’t make the cut. Some are obviously ridiculous, some are cute but we just liked the other one better for the card. Whatever the case, it’s nice to have this venue to display the pictures we did not [...]

Tony and Pony

I was reading Make Way for Ducklings tonight, and Mrs. Mallard named her 8 ducklings all rhyming names, like Jack and Quack. I asked Claire and Ronin if they wished they had been named rhyming names, or if they were happy with the names we had given them. I teased, “Would you have preferred Ronin [...]
Happy Skanksgiving!

Claire: I’m really looking forward to Skanksgiving. Me: Did you just say Skanksgiving? Justin: Ah, Skanksgiving. I remember fondly the Skanksgivings of my youth, and the warm, fresh skanks. Claire: Why are you laughing? I warned Dinah about Claire’s slip of the tongue, but Claire realized when we laughed that she was wrong, and she’s [...]
“Mommy, wipe me!”

The funniest thing Soren has been doing lately is yelling out “Mommy, wipe me!” when he wants me to come to him. The twins yell that to me when they are done pooping (yes, we’ve been teaching them, but they still yell it) and he has somehow decided that THIS expression is what he needs [...]

I promised you a post filled with pumpkins, and here it is. We have been doing a lot of Halloween and harvest-related activities over the past several weeks. First we met our twins group at Joan’s Farm in Livermore for the pumpkin patch, pony rides, and petting zoo. Lunch was provided for us, and we [...]
