After our second historic winter storm you would think we would get a break. And we did – for one day. Yesterday a blizzard dropped 10 inches of new snow. A storm that I agree actually was a blizzard, and I’m picky – I’ve read The Long Winter multiple times and have a literary sense [...] It is a clear sunny day and I am still Blackberry blogging. We don’t have a yard stick, but I would guess we have the same amount of snow as Reagan National airport – 18 inches. I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but this was actually the fourth largest storm recorded in DC, and [...] We’re at the tail end of a record breaking snowstorm. It has been snowing for almost 30 hours, and we have at least 18 inches of snow. Wait, you might ask, didn’t you already blog about this? Good question! This is the second snowstorm this winter to make the top ten list for storm accumulation. We’ve [...] Eight months is an exciting age. We’re finally getting to milestones that are concrete – not as much wondering, “Is that a laugh or a cough? She can sit! No wait… she can’t. Is it a new tooth or a cold?” Finally Eva has coordination with some intelligence behind it, and we’re starting to see [...] February is not far away and I find I am unable to write a traditional Christmas post. Perhaps it’s because we have a paltry 207 pictures chronicling Eva’s first Christmas. I might be a little overwhelmed. Instead, I present one tiny theme from our Christmas week. I give you… Captain Eva!* It all started with an innocent [...] Over the weekend the D.C. area was hit by biggest snowstorm we’ve had in years. And in December – it’s virtually unheard of! It started snowing last Friday night and continued steadily through Saturday evening for a total of more than 16 inches in 24 hours. We live close to the city, which means we [...] We’re housebound by a foot and a half of snow, so I spent my Saturday giving our blog a much needed upgrade. It hasn’t had one since we started it almost three years ago – and now that I help other people build their websites, it seems like mine should look more modern. We picked a [...] We flew to Seattle on Thanksgiving morning – it was wonderful to have a relatively quiet airport experience and fly on a half full plane. If you look at our pictures, it looks like all we did that weekend was bathe and feed a baby… well, maybe that’s kind of accurate. There were so many [...] November was a great month. I could write ten entries about November and still have more to say. But now it’s snowing and I’m excited about Christmas, so I’ll write just one. We started out with a trip to Northern California at the end of October to visit my mom’s side of the family. While we [...] NaNoWriMo: a personal history 2007: Finished while working full time and thought it was hard. I mock my childless self. 2008: Finished while working full time and with lingering pregnancy sickness. 2009: Finished (a day early!) while working a small freelance job and caring full time for a six month old. Thanks for the fireworks, NaNoWriMo. I feel [...] |
