This is my turtle

and don’t you for get it.
We went to the Academy of Sciences today with Grandma Judy. We found the secret little kids room, and popped inside. It was totally awesome! There was so much fun stuff for kids! I know where we’re going to spend every rainy Sunday morning this winter. (Allyson: Let me know [...]
Sew much to do, sew little time
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009
I want to sew. I really, really want to sew. I have ideas. I have other peoples ideas. I have patterns that my mom used to use to make doll clothes for me when I was little. I just need a few hours, and I can probably sew some really cool things. I need to [...]
A fun day at the aquarium
Sunday, March 8th, 2009
We went to the Academy of Sciences today with Sarah and Ethan. They have a family membership so we got to go during member only hours (less crowded) and it was free! I went many times as a child and it was so much fun to remember various field trips and visits with my parents.

Where does the time go?

Click image to enlarge. I’m pretty sure you can easily substitute “stay at home mom” with “stay at home dad.”

I’m looking forward to the day when Izzy is big enough to ride a bike. We’ll probably start with a Kettler Tricycle. I like the Kettler Air Navigator. It features a parent control handle bar for guidance when the kids are younger. It can be removed later when riding skills are a bit more refined. [...]
Stories in my head.
Saturday, January 10th, 2009
For years, I used to tell Mitch that I wanted to take a comic drawing class so I could learn how to write/draw the stories in my head. The SF JCC used to teach such a class, but I never got around to it. I still have a couple of story lines that I would [...]

It’s been a while. How about an update?
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008
Let’s see…
In the last couple of weeks Isadora started to:
grab her feet and pull her socks off
roll over from her back to her belly
pet Kirby when he walks by
grab a toy floating in the bath (she likes the pink hippo best) and bring it to her mouth
scream like a banshee
Mitch brought Isadora downtown today and [...]
San Francisco isn’t terribly kid friendly, but things are changing.
Sunday, September 28th, 2008
Many people who live here are single and child-free. If you’re at a restaurant, and someone brings in a baby, toddler or kid, you can see the disdain and contempt on the other patrons faces. I know, I used to be a person like that. I still sort of am. The last thing you want [...]
Move to #600 Status Report
Thursday, July 24th, 2008
We are about 87% moved. The remaining items at #604 are as follows: some of my clothes, most of my shoes, my desk, some kitchen stuff, some toiletries, and our art. I plan to complete the migration by EOD tomorrow. I’ll take the weekend off to spend time with the in-laws while they’re in town [...]
