it’s only been a week since returning to pittsburgh, but i find myself searching my brain for the right words to describe, for instance, the first time we drove into monterey bay through groves of eucalyptus trees and how their clean, dry scent mixed with the salty air blown in off the bay wrapped itself […]

we are such whimps! i was just reading the little blurb brian included below the picture of seb shoveling the snow with his pay loader: “Sebastien enjoying what is hopefully the last of the snow.” i would just like to say, “BUT, IT’S THE ONLY SNOW WE’VE HAD ALL YEAR!” so yeah, like, total snowfall […]

oren is not a book worm so much as a book tosser. each morning, first thing–the sun hasn’t even winked any light into our house yet though it is after 7–he makes a bee-line for the toy-box in the corner of our dining room. he stops, extends an arm and places one pudgy hand against […]

it’s 8:30 in the am and it’s about 60 degrees out. today is the last day of our “indian summer” although i don’t know if temps have really been summer-like. they have been in the 50s and 60s pretty consistently for the past week or two though, and it has been wonderful. we haven’t been […]

i truly expected things to be much different with kid number two… this is before i actually gave birth to kid number two. now that i have said kid, i’m surprised by the number of things that are the same. not that there are no differences, mind you, there are, but let me explain. several […]

well, we’re home. we survived. we had fun! the pictures up on the main page now are a little deceptive. yes, we were in the denver area for almost a week, and yes, we did make it to flagstaff outside of boulder, but the amount of climbing we got in was about five minutes each. […]

last week sometime, i was accused of–well, i suppose ‘accused’ is a strong word to use–not writing as much about oren as i do about seb. it’s true, and that doesn’t say much in my favor since i don’t write a whole lot about seb lately either. in my defense, the things that seb does […]
