Welp, here we go!
07.06.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsTomorrow the pre-entry program begins! My Mom arrived this afternoon, the house is unpacked with mostly everything in its place, and I think I have the details worked out to get to school in the morning. I would say that I hope I’m doing the right thing, but I am more confident than that. I [...]

Another munchkin update
We took Zoe for her belated 15 month checkup today. She is 21.5 pounds and 31.5 inches, with a head circumference of 18.5 inches. For some reason we thought her next checkup was at 18 months (that reason being that our Dallas pediatrician told us that would be the next one), though oddly enough she [...]

Munchkin update
As we are both exhausted, the highlight of today, perhaps this month: napping and snuggling for two hours with Zoe. We took her to the Children’s Museum of Houston on Thursday evening (free family night from 5-8PM!). She had a BLAST in the Tot Spot and it was a totally worthwhile thing to do. On [...]

Did I stutter?!
06.26.08 | Permalink | 5 CommentsAfter the unpacking (which is still not entirely finished) comes the more intangible part of settling into our new place. This is a long one, y’all. If you want to skip the long-winded, Blake-centered ranting and go straight to the cute video of Zoe manipulating the iPhone, please be my guest.

Baby love
06.24.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI am very seriously obsessed with Zoe. Nightly I find myself on Flickr, pouring over her current and older photos, wondering how in the world she is so perfect. Tonight it was just what I needed after a major home decor fail. Who cares about stupid shelves when there’s a Zoe in the world?

How to lose 6 pounds in 36 hours
First, find some sketchy food to eat. Get a short night of sleep. The next day, eat more fruit than you normally would eat, as if it were the only available nourishment. Then spend some time in the heat doing light to moderate manual labor. Go for a long swim. Whatever you do, no matter [...]

Can’t say I missed it
06.18.08 | Permalink | 6 CommentsThis morning the whole family took a refreshing swim in our complex’s lagoon-like pool, followed by a nap for Zoe and some much-needed unpacking for Mama. Later we explored a nearby park and ventured to the “Super” Wal*Mart. Turns out it wasn’t so super, as the smattering of groceries available was insufficient to complete my [...]

Mama/Roomba/bag fail
The past few mornings Zoe has decided to wake up very early (for her), much to my chagrin, since I have been staying up too late packing and then generally wasting time. Today was the same, and being the lazy mother I am, once it became apparent that she was absolutely done sleeping, I let [...]

Soap
05.29.08 | Permalink | 6 CommentsI generally aim to smell neutral, if not pleasant. My hygiene since becoming a mother has had its questionable periods, but on average I bathe or shower at least once a day. And except for a few months during and after my cancer experience when I did not use deodorant (or anything else I had [...]

Upswing
I broke a sweat using the Wii for 30 minutes today – yay! Which reminds me… the podiatrist said to wear the boot for two weeks and nix exercise for six, including swimming. Surely he didn’t mean no Wii Fit, right? What about dancing around the apartment with my daughter? I was wearing the boot. [...]
