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 [...] 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 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 [...] A few weeks ago Matt, Eva, and I flew up to Albany for an event at RPI, Matt’s alma mater. Yes, we have returned to our former life as traveling fools. The flight up was a success, as you can see below. Matt’s grandparents live in the Albany area, and we were able to stay with [...] I reviewed our September photos on September 28 and thought, “21 photos. That’s a nice number for our September gallery.” I went out the next night and left Matt home alone for two hours. I came home to 41 new photos of Eva, plus a video. Sigh. I still managed to keep our numbers low, though [...] It’s that time of year again – last Saturday, Matt, Eva, and I attended the 2009 National Book Festival. I have to say it was a much better experience this year. What you didn’t read in last year’s blog entry was that I was still in the midst of morning sickness (which should be called [...] I’ve been friends with Marissa since fourth grade – that’s twenty years as of right now. I can’t think very hard about that. We got pregnant around the same time – she was three months ahead of me – but since we’re both new moms, we haven’t been able to fly for months, and just [...] |
