A week and a half ago, Eva and I bid farewell to the five foot pile of snow in our front yard and headed West for a balmy vacation in Seattle. Matt flew out and met us a few days later. The Pacific Northwest is having the warmest winter on record, which sounded more appealing than [...] 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 [...] 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.

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 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 [...] On the off-chance someone out there is having a bad day, I give you a laughing, squealing baby accompanied by her crazy mother: I spend a fair amount of time bouncing up and down in front of Eva in large-scale games of peek-a-boo, and I can tell you it’s quite a workout. Dedicated Eva fans should head [...] |
