- The New Regimen
This past May, I won a 3 month gym membership at a local gym in a raffle. I decided on the spot that I would be an idiot if I let this opportunity pass me by. So the very next morning I was at my new gym working out. It had been years since I [...]
- Daddy, Part Trois
Since this blog traces its origins back to being a “daddy blog,” I can’t think of a more appropriate resurrection than a post announcing that my rockstar wife is pregnant with our third child! We’re so excited and feel so blessed.
Details? The due date is officially 7 January 2009. The other “little” detail is that [...] - Easter Steps 2005-2008

It’s that time again, time to post the result of our annual Easter photoshoot. The girls have gotten so big and it’s so much fun to look back over these photos. The first two, of just E is from 2005 and 2006. The two of E and A are from 2007 and [...] - Long First Name

“No…” she whined, clearly not satisfied with [...] - Eminent Domain

Still so much in love with her…
- Please Touch
A few weeks ago, we took the girls to the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia [map]. What an amazing place.
The museum was designed for children to explore, play, interact and TOUCH everything - all while learning about the world they live in. Our oldest (almost 3) absolutely loved it. She shopped in the grocery store, [...] - Easter Steps

Every Easter Sunday we take a photo of Erin sitting on the front steps of a brownstone near our church on the Upper East Side, NYC. 2005, 2006 and 2007 are above. This year, we got Abbie involved. She’s only 2 months younger than Erin was in the 2005 photo, but those [...] - blech.
24-hour stomach bugs are the worst. At least I hope it’s only 24 hours! Abbie started it, then Erin got it, and now I’ve had it since last night. Hopefully Kate remains impervious to the bug.
- KidSpeak
My few, loyal blog readers… I would like to take this opportunity to give free publicity to a fantastic blog I recently discovered. The blog’s name is KidSpeak and the author will be examining, dissecting, reviewing and critiquing children’s literature from the point-of-view of an early childhood educator, mother and children’s book fanatic.
KidSpeak promises to [...]
