Things I Want to Remember
As usual, I’m not posting as much as I would like and periodically I think of yet another thing that I want to be able to remember later on when Oliver has sucked out my last remaining spare brain cell. Here are a few: key-ka = peacock We see peacocks at the zoo and now …
Thank You, Data!
No, not Brent Spiner. Although he could be useful at this time. Rather, thank you oh great data plan that streams the interwebs and allows for Sesame Street’s African Alphabet as sung by Ladysmith Black Mambazo and What I Am (Will.i.am) to magically appear in our car in our hour (or more, depending on this …
Feelin’ HOT… hot… hot
Strangely enough, this is not a post about the heat wave we are having now. Periodically Jeremy and I talk about things we need to write down to remember for when Oliver is older. Cute things he does and says now that will be but a distant memory when he’s older and demanding the keys …
Teething and Eating
We are now at the phase where toddler eating slows d0wn – a process known to drive parents insane! Oliver’s has become doubly picky due to teething. Oliver cut his first molar last week and is now working on 4 more teeth. I’m fairly certain he would be perfectly happy to just survive on drinkable …
A Wabbit

Does anyone have a giant hamster wheel they’d be willing to give to us? Aside from helping Oliver burn off the sudden burst of energy that seems to have hit yesterday it would be a great way to lower our energy bill once it’s air conditioning season.
Farm Day 2013
Every year our friends Brian and Elizabeth have “Farm Day” over April vacation. They invite teachers and students from HMS to their home in order to break ground for their giant garden. In return Brian cooks BBQ (yum!!!) for the crowd. Last year we stopped by with a 5 week old Oliver, but missed most …
Commentary on the Boston Marathon
Yesterday my city watched as a terrible act unfolded in Copley Square at the end of the Boston Marathon. Jeremy, Oliver, and I were lucky that none of our friends and loved ones were in the area of the finish line. Facebook, Twitter, and the “tubes” are filled with stories of the horror and of …
