When Aiden first became ambulatory, he would move himself by rolling over. He would just roll on over to where he wanted to be. When Aiden began crawling, he couldn’t quite coordinate his back legs to work with his arms, so he ended up dragging himself all over. He still got around though. It took a few months for...

The weather has been pleasant lately, and we’ve been trying to take the kids out for walks whenever we can. Aiden knows by now that he can’t go to the park without his shoes and his jacket. So imagine our surprise when he came walking into the room with his shoes on, jacket in hand. He must be trying to tell us...

Gavin’s first couple of teeth are coming in. He’s got one big one erupting on the bottom, and another one starting to come in almost next to it (unlike Aiden, who started out with fangs).

Our family members took lots of photos for...

Aiden loved the cow phone, and didn’t pay much attention to anything else coming out of the stocking. Unfortunately, the...

It’s official: Chrissy is pregnant again. We were keeping that under our hats for the last few weeks, but the cat is now out of the bag. I was hoping for supernatural confirmation from the psychic at the UChicagoTech Holiday Party TM, but we got the crappy psychic again and she didn’t call it. The “official”...

When I was very young, I remember going to the County Line Apple Orchard on a field trip in elementary school. I’ve driven past it in Hobart about a hundred times since then, but I haven’t had a chance to go back. This year, Chrissy and I took Aiden there to see the Pumpkin House and buy a pumpkin. We showed up early on...
