Piggie versus Peedalee
Posted by E-George on January 30, 2009
There is the age old tradition of counting off odd lymrics on a baby’s toes. The older the child gets, the more vigorous the tug on the toe and the more variant the chant becomes. Currently, I have been trying to get Matthew to branch away from the standard Little Piggies recitation and [...]

4 months
Posted by E-George on January 22, 2009
Today Evelyn is four months old. Four months after it took two days to get her here. Four months of learning each others habits. Four months of feasting on those perfectly spherical cheeks. Four months of adoring those two scoops of cottage cheese that is her baby butt. Four months doesn’t [...]

Trip to the Zoo
Posted by E-George on January 21, 2009
It was a glorious Saturday last week, and the temps were easily into the mid 60s.

This first video was after Evelyn had a great first day with Babka and [...]

My baby shower cake
Posted by E-George on January 14, 2009

A moment worth celebrating
Posted by E-George on January 8, 2009
Before reading this post, start the music. It’ll provide the much-needed dramatic emphasis to help you really feel the excitement that I feel at this very moment.

My goals against your resolutions
Posted by E-George on January 2, 2009
I asked Matthew the other night if he had any resolutions for 2009. He sternly replied, “No!” and followed it up with, “But, I do have some goals for the year.” Yes, children, there is a difference. RESOLUTIONS are for quitting after four weeks, whereas GOALS are long-discussed somewhat unfocused visions [...]
