The first thing that you’ll notice is that these videos make no chronological sense. The second thing you’ll notice (if you’re paying attention) is the quite significant gap in time between this and the last video post. Talk to the hand because the fingers are busy elsewhere. I just found 3 more weeks worth of[…]
This past week the kids received a very special treat. They were visited by my Mom and their Uncle Jim and Aunt Karine. Up until now a big, gapping, 2500 mile geographic obstacle has kept them from visiting. (Namely the American Southwest and Plains States). But last week, geography happened to someone else. I feel[…]
I find myself sounding repetitive in these updates. But I suppose that is a good thing. Both kids are doing well and for the most part are generally happy. Both of course are growing. Arwen is in some 3T clothes?!?! But she also fits into 2T. The logic of clothing sizes is beyond me. Rowan[…]
We have a ton of videos. Don’t believe me? Just look at the hard drive. Unfortunately there is a lot that needs to be trimmed out. These kids just won’t perform on demand. Why am I telling you this? Because we now have some proof… I think… maybe. These just aren’t Fortian claims. Arwen can[…]
A new week has dawned and with it the changes and discoveries that make up our lives. Our house, Le Maison Burger, is no different and the tides of change have come as well. This week spyMommy makes her return to work. The thought of it has been a source of trepidation. For months now[…]
I think its been some time since an actual update in words has been put up. It’s obvious from the pictures and videos that make it up that things are moving along and the children are developing and generally happy, as they say, the pictures don’t lie. We’ve been trying for weeks to catch Arwen[…]
Every night before work I try to catch a couple hours of sleep. And every night when I get up, spyMommy fills me in on the night. There are difficulties and praise most every night, along with some little report of a new skill or cute occurrence by one of the kids. (There’s also the diaper report.[…]
If this blog is good for anything, its good for a mood-booster. You can’t help but smile at the pictures. And its worth smiling about the fact that it just exists. Why more parents are doing it these days, I’ll never know. I think it’s been mentioned here already, but Arwen has been saying, “Dora”,[…]
This afternoon brought some warmer, if not wetter, conditions so Arwen and I headed out to breathe some non-house air at the prompting of spyMommy. Despite the rain and the 50 degree weather there were still patches of ice here and there that Arwen almost instinctually avoided. I wanted to test out the little tether backpack we[…]
There have been a lot of changes at home with the arrival of Rowan. Half of the time it feels like we have everything under control and the other half of the time it feels like we are flying by the seat of our pants. It’s to be expected I suppose. Arwen is growing in[…]
