Year 5, Day 310

At some point yesterday, someone (not sure who, certainly wasn't me) suggested to Miles that there would be "fireworks at midnight."

"I'm staying … Continue reading Year 5, Day 310 →

Year 4, Day 309: Baby’s First New Year’s Resolutions!

In true party pooper fashion, both of my housemates fell asleep well in advance of midnight tonight.

Although we had no choice but to put him to bed, I still tried to keep Miles's … Continue reading Year 4, Day 309: Baby’s First New Year’s Resolutions! →

Yes, with the holiday season behind us … Continue reading Year 2, Day 310: New Year, New Pee →

Day 310: Baby’s First New Year’s Day!

We kept New Year's pretty low-key, but we did work with Miles on learning to use his chonky baby legs properly. As you can see, he loves it!

Day 309

In a lot of ways, 2018 has been a pretty lousy year. To elucidate, in mostly chronological order: My teacher, friend, and mentor of over 20 years passed away My hometown was hit by two hurricanes and my parents' neighborhood flooded, destroying a number of homes I went into septic shock and spent three days … Continue reading Day 309 →
