Baby
Allow me to rephrase.
The following is a story according to Joel, as it occurred on my day to get things done without a toddler in tow. Joel took Zoe to the zoo on Wednesday, where apparently all of Houston decided to spend that day of their spring break. Zoe rode on her Daddy’s shoulders much of the time [...]

An incomplete guide to Zoespeak
03.04.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsMonday Zoe and I went to her two-year-old checkup at the doctor. She is 35 inches tall, weighs 25 pounds, and has a healthy head circumference. I do not know the exact measurement, as it was taken during what I will call the oh-my-god-mom-the-world-is-ending-how-could-you-let-this-happen period of the visit. We waited nearly two hours, watching The [...]

Marker time
I have a deep love for my collection of gel pens (G2 Pilot all the way), highlighters, and dry erase markers. Maybe it’s a distraction. But I think it keeps things interesting. Awhile ago, Joel got a couple of inexpensive dry erase boards at Lowe’s to use for his work and my compulsive med school [...]

Domesticity, or, GetMeOuttaHere
01.12.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsApproximately sixteen hours ago, I was so moved by the uncharacteristic quiet calm in our home that I tweeted. I thought I was being clever. Later Joel would chastise and blame me for precipitating the cascade of events that followed. After waking to an alarm this morning in an effort to get ourselves up during [...]

I could learn a lot from Zoe…
One of my many favorite things about Zoe right now is her expressiveness. She is talking so much and showing more of her personality at every turn. She seems to feel things intensely but doesn’t hang on too long. Her manners impress me. We have mini conversations all day, and I love it. Though her [...]

Kids
So I misspoke. There are two other Moms in my class, for a total of four of us. How we’ve gone nearly the whole semester and not found each other is kind of shocking, but I guess we don’t have much time for socializing. Per Joel’s report, Zoe said the alphabet today, and she woke [...]

Alive and studying
10.02.08 | Permalink | 4 CommentsI apologize for my twelve-day absence. On the request of a couple of readers, I will add Blogging Blake to my list of Blakes when the multiplicity mission is accomplished. In the mean time, one can probably find the original Blake in one of two places: the lecture hall or an LRC study room. Zoe’s [...]

Homeward Bound
09.20.08 | Permalink | 9 CommentsA few weeks ago, Chief and Sarge were placed into a new home. This decision was made after much consideration, mostly painful. On our list of pros and cons, the only pros were that 1. I loved them, and 2. They acted as good Hoovers when Zoe dropped food. As heavily as those weighed, the [...]

House to myself today
With Joel at DjangoCon (read: Geek Convention) in California this weekend (I’m insanely jealous; mandatory attendance to anatomy lab won out though), and Gigi and Zoe on a grocery adventure, I have a few hours alllll to myself today. I spent some time making brownies, reading developmental anatomy by the pool, taking pictures of the [...]
