Hanukkah and Family Visits

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

We've had a very busy month. First Byron and Shirley came in over Thanksgiving, then Mark and Dina for a long weekend, and Alla, Scott, and Ayla came in town for a week. All the visits were a lot of fun and it was great to see everyone. Now ...

Moshe’s first laugh

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Moshe was in a good mood last night. I was getting ready to take him for a little stroll after dinner and Marti told him as much as she was dressing him. As she said "do you want to go for walk with papa", he broke out laughing. ...

Bike Rally

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

While I have mostly focused on family matters thus far, I hope to use this blog for the occasional post about other goings on in our lives. Marti are both avid bicyclists. Aside from a fabulous recreational activity, commuting by bike brings you closer to your community, is ...

what did I get myself into

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

I thought starting a family blog would be all fun and games, but then I realized that certain expectations get set, grandparents get anxious, well, you can imagine the rest (see my last post date). For the sake of being brief, it's 10:30 and Moshe could start crying at any ...

Nursing …

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

... is tough! Seems a woman first gets beat up by labor and birth, and then kicked while she's down with nursing, at least in some cases. Marti's hanging in there really well, and is learning more each day, but I know it's been hurting a bit. ...

Bonding

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

We find ourselves alone with Moshe for the first time. Both our parents drove from Minneapolis and arrived a few days after the birth. It was great to have them here, especially since we didn't have to worry about cleaning or cooking, and had several available hands to ...

Little Master

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

There is a new master of the house.  And he resembles Yoda in more than one way.  Even the slightest squirm sends an army of otherwise rational, calm, and collected adults into a frenzy of activity trying to deduce what, exactly, Moshe wants. Full disclosure, I am not ...

Sleep, poop, eat

Monday, October 15th, 2007

That about sums up the first 10 days. We had both sets of grandparents in town until today, when the Franks left. Grandma was also in townfor the long weekend and left today as well. Now it's just my parents and the three of us. Other ...

Hello world!

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Well, I've finally launched an actual blog. I've spent a lot of time the past couple of years convincing some of my clients to start and run their own blogs (for good reason's I believe ;), but have yet to jump on the horse for several reasons, laziness being ...
