Imaginative Play

The other day Elliot and I were at the dinosaur play area at FlatIron Crossing Mall1 and Elliot started playing imaginary ball. He grabbed my hand and pulled me 6 or so feet and pointed at the empty floor and said, “the ball is right there.” It took a couple of tries on his part because his enunciation was not […]

Catherine Blogs

My beautiful wife Catherine has started blogging. So far it is mostly about our children. For example, in Parenthood, part XXVII “It goes without saying - but, don’t let Elliot lick his underwear.” But in addition to being a nearly perfect mother Catherine is also an extremely talented database architect so you might see a few technical […]

House Shopping

Have I mentioned lately that I hate house shopping. Actually, maybe it is house selling I hate. Either way I will be very, very, very happy when this moving thing is over. Our second potential house feel through other the week-end. It was a plain house that backed to a nice park in the burbs. […]

Santa

Christmas is around the corner, and with Christmas comes the pop culture icon Santa Claus, which raises some serious issues for me. Elliot is two this year, which makes it the first time he really understands Christmas. Already Elliot knows who Santa is. This does not bother me, in itself. The […]

Audrey Update

Audrey at two months old. Audrey is two months old now, so I think it is time for an update. Audrey is such an easy baby. Before Audrey was born Catherine and I worried that we might have used all our easy baby karma on Elliot. However, I think Audrey might be even more […]

Rain

It is a beautiful gray and rainy day here in Colorado. It almost never rains here and I do miss the rain. Elliot likes rain too. I had a hard time getting him to day care today because he wanted to keep standing in the rain. The whole time he was […]
