17 months and then some
Posted by E-George on February 22, 2010
New year. New house. New challenges. New goals. New aspirations. And, not a margarita in sight to take the edge off. But, seriously, who needs the temporary relief that alcohol gives when you could have a 17-month-old little girl shining white-hot sunlight into every nook and cranny of [...]

Worthy of much retelling
Posted by E-George on January 5, 2010
Tonight would have been just like any other night subjugated by routine and harnessed by the unbreakable power of normalcy. But, tonight during tubby time things diverged most definitely from the normal. Allow me to set the stage.
Evelyn had been to the doctor today wherein she received her well-child check up and [...]

The doggie goes, “Woof!”
Posted by E-George on December 31, 2009
This deserved a post of its own and here’s why: There are fleeting moments when a child does something so darn cute that you think you’ll die on the spot from the hot magma of love and delight that tidal waves the senses. And, if you’re lucky enough to catch it on video [...]

Finding winter’s funny bone
Posted by E-George on
Winter is not my season. There are only a handful of people I know who relish the winter months and delight in the onset of snow or other wintery inclementness. <Tangent: One of my favorite people, Charlie, once remarked when stepping out into air that had suddenly turned unpleasantly brisk, “Oh yeah… 70 [...]

Christmas and so on
Posted by E-George on
Christmas was delightfully low key this year. Matthew’s brother and family were moving in a new house so we put off our Minnesota Christmas for another year and all of my family scattered off to do their own respective things which left us to fend for ourselves. For the first year in the [...]

November saw an uptick for us in terms of activities. Matthew was under an incredible amount of work stress, culminating in a trip to Portland for a work conference. He left on a Friday afternoon and Evelyn noticed right away. For the next seven days she would wander around the house, go [...]

October was a welcome relief of busyness. Evelyn’s walking improved every day until she didn’t have to hold her hands like she was in a stick up any more. We settled more into the house, got a new couch, and closed the pool down for the season. Most of the month was [...]

Out with the old and in with the expensive
Posted by E-George on August 9, 2009
Our house sold, luckily. And, by all market standards it sold in record time, too. We had been debating between two houses while we waited, and ultimately ended up buying a house that was neither of them. Here’s a satellite photo of it

This post is WAY behind schedule. And, it is going to be missing video, but hopefully the pictures will make up for it.
The nine-to-ten month time frame has been amazing! She sprouted a lot of hair.
Her crawling blossomed into a full-blown force of movement.
