We just got back last night from our first “family” vacation. I was afraid Baby might scream all the way there and back, but she was actually quite mellow (well, no more crying than usual). Rahul had to go to Las Vegas for work, so we all went! We stayed at a posh hotel and [...]

We went to the Hot Shops open house on Saturday with Tatiana–not her first art show, but her fourth! I thought that once Baby was here we were going to be housebound, but so far we’ve been able to take her out quite a bit. It’s taken some practice, but we’ve gotten much better at [...]

We’ve finally set up our Flickr account! We’ve only titled, described and tagged about half of the pictures so far, but there are 300+, nearly unfiltered pictures for your viewing pleasure! (“Nearly unfiltered” means that there are lots and lots of similar-looking pictures of Tatiana’s face.)

Still cries a lot though. Um…anyone know when that’s going to [...]

(I started this the day after littlebabygirl was born, but didn’t really get to finish it… so I’m going to try now)
There’s more story to tell, about all of this baby-birthing stuff, but there’s one thought that I’d like to capture before I forget. It’s not really sweet or life-changing, but it was an [...]

I called my parents this morning to let them know that nothing was happening yet (as littlebabygirl is due today), but they were in the middle of dealing with the refrigerator… which was leaking water. A lot of water.
A portentous torrent?
Stay tuned.
