      • Let it Snow
        01/24/09
        It may not look like much, but all day snow fell onto the mountains---a glorious sight and something I before have taken for granted but today fully have appreciated.

        We spent the weekend sans kids up at a sweet cabin across the street from the base chair lift. We skied in rain and snow

        01/20/09
        Welcome to the White House, President Obama!

        The world, including four two-year-olds at pre-school today, watched your swearing-in and held their right hands up to the square along with you as you swore on Lincoln's bible to officially accept your job as President. Later, as your

      • Everyday Line-Up
        01/14/09
        The boys are in the midst of an everyday line-up. And I don't mean the county jail variety. What I mean is that they line up objects---toys, chairs, tractors, trains, blocks, kitchen utensils---and they call these lines, quite simply, "trains."

        I've heard of this be

        Dear Staci,

        If you had to take a guess, how many books do you think you read to the boys this week, all the while allowing me the chance to put on my make-up all at once (instead of applying mascara to one eye per hour), field a few phone calls (allowing the person on the other end of t

      • SJ Historical Museum
        01/08/09
        We visited the San Jose Historical Museum today and found out that trolley rides are only open to the public on the weekends. Major bummer. So we ended up spending the first half of our visit watching the trolley, filled with second graders for a special school program, go back and forth on the rail

      • Youngest Kids
        01/06/09
        My sister has a fondness for baby Lennox. I'm not sure what it is. She adores all the boys, but for Lennox, she seems to have a soft spot. I've asked her about it and she says she doesn't notice it, but suggests it may be the youngest child syndrome---she empathizes with the last-plac

      • New Year's Rock
        01/01/09
        We welcomed in 2009 with a major rock party. We downloaded a bunch of songs for Rock Band 1, then we busted out Justin's Christmas present: Rock Band 2. We took breaks here and there, including to, oh, I don't know...go to the bathroom. Oh yeah, and calm the baby. My sister had the great i
