As of 8/29/18 – I wrote this months ago, but never posted :)) Ah, Joaquin, you’re 6! You’re officially in kindergarten and you’re getting so damn big and so damn smart. In the past year, you’ve ...
Aurion: You're 3! in 2018
Ok - this is a month past due, but it’s no less relevant. ;) Aurion, You’re THREE! [as of 10/2/18] The last year has been quite a ride, my little love. You’ve grown and changed quite a bit, but...
Fuck that guy. in 2018
I spent a good part of my day today expending mass quantities of energy thinking about, fighting about, crying about and feeling overwhelmed by this latest terrible display of humanity in Parklan...
MOSTLY WRITTEN IN EARLY OCTOBER It feels like we are moving in hyper speed lately, and your 2nd (GOLDEN) birthday (10/2/17) snuck up on us. We celebrated with a fun-filled day to Disneyland wher...
You are five! You’ve been waiting for what seemed like forever to be five. I hope it’s all that you hoped for. Your personality continues to evolve and grow, and each day you show me new ways to...
Transitional feelings. in 2017
Joaquin graduated from preschool on Friday, and he starts elementary school in a few days. He just joined his first legit soccer team and has his first game in less than a week. I’m having so man...
20/21 months in 2017
Normally, I write these at 1, 1.5, 2 etc. but it looks like Joaquin’s is still delayed and probably won’t show up for 4.5, and Aurion’s MONTHS late. But here hers is, anyhow. **20/21 months old:...
Where haz I been? in 2017
My life went from 0 to 160 in a matter of weeks. Before March 24th of this year, I hadn’t traveled since November 10th of LAST year. Since March 24th, I’ve been gone 8 days and I will only be ...
I wanted to write at least 1x per week, but it’s looking more like 1x per month will be more realistic. You guys. There is SO MUCH going on all.the.time. There is good stuff, there is crazy st...
So far, this year. in 2017
I have to say that I am floating around in a bit of ignorant bliss. In a few days, DONALD TRUMP is going to be our President, and I just can’t allow myself to let that sink in. It’s horrifyin...
November 3rd in 2016
I survived a whole day of working + solo parenting and I didn’t lose my mind or my temper, so I consider it to be a success. October was relatively ‘quiet’ for work, but November has started out ...
November 2. in 2016
Ha! I almost forgot that I challenged myself to write every day this month. And it’s only DAY 2. This should be good. So, the CUBS JUST WON THE WORLD SERIES. I feel like this is profound bec...
November 1. in 2016
Here goes my attempt at writing once per day for the month of November. Let’s set a baseline first: Overall life grade, at the moment: A- Husband: A Work: A- Kids: A- Working out: B- Drinking ...
(Actual birthday = October 2nd :)) Aurion, You are one year old. Well one year and one day. You’re a walking, dancing, talking delight! You are so sweet; you give kisses and hugs and when you h...
It’s 8:52p on a Friday night. Aurion fell asleep at 7:37p and Joaquin fell asleep just after 8p. Aaron’s out a concert with some friends and I’m enjoying a glass of wine and some ....quiet.... ...
My dude. Holy business! You are 4. I can hardly believe that it’s already been four whole years since you emerged, screaming and crying into this world. And with that emergence, we have been ...
Life. It's what happens when you're busy making plans. in 2016
Seriously though, I CANNOT believe July is happening tomorrow. Aurion is going to be 9 months on Saturday and it’s going so fast. So fast. She’s blossoming into a delightful little creature; ...
Wow, it really does fly by! You’re growing so fast now, and collecting milestones like it’s your job. At your 6-month check-up we learned that you are still “tall” and “skinny” as you are in t...
Easter was unexpectedly lovely. I say ‘unexpectedly’ because my sweet little baby has not been sleeping well. And even when she does sleep, I’ve been having maddening bouts of insomnia. And I ...
Well, I did it. I made it around the sun forty times and lived to tell about it. My birthday was awesome. Aaron let me sleep in while he tended to the rascals and when I finally came down he ha...
So much has happened in just half a year! You’re a big brother now, and you’re the best at it. The way you look at and talk to your little sister is truly priceless, and I’m so proud of the lit...
How long have you been married? 15 years and 2 months Is this your first marriage? Yes indeed Is it how you imagined would be? Probably better? We ebb and flow and change and grow in a very har...
unpredictable; beautiful *pics in 2016
There are moments within these fast-flying days that it occurs to me that I am a MOM WITH TWO KIDS. There was a point in my life, probably not much more than 5-6 years ago that I was convinced...
This moment. in 2015
Delicious dinner of salmon / shrimp poke bowl followed by: 90-minute in-home acupuncture massage session followed by: The 3-year old going to bed without any fuss followed by: The 11-week old fal...
November 23 in 2015
The cadence of my life is definitely getting better. We’re all sleeping better and I finally asked for ‘help’ so I could get breaks now and again. Aaron’s mom has been great - she comes over fo...
