Fantastic Mr. Fox comes out on DVD today, and I have THREE copies to give away to you! THREE! Woot! I’ve always been a Wes Anderson fan on the whole, so I had high hopes that Fantastic Mr. Fox would be a movie I could share with Dee as she grows. It did not disappoint. This movie has… Read more →

I laugh in the face of sleep.
Dearest Dee – I know it was daylight savings time and all, but last night’s encore performance of “The Girl Who Hated Sleep” was truly your best ever. From your 7:30pm sleepy-time fake-out (you really had me going there) to your 8pm roll-into-the-crib-rails-and-wail, the hits just kept on coming. By 4am, and your 27th wake-up of the evening, I was… Read more →

[October 7th, 2009: About twelve hours before she made her appearance, Delilah did her best to get Nigel Lithgow’s attention while Scott and I watched So You Think You Can Dance. If you look closely, you can catch a quick cameo by the remnants of a recently devoured bowl of Pineapple. Oh, pregnancy.][also, this video is kind of long. sorry… Read more →
There were never such devoted sisters.
After some speculation that the picture of Eva and Dee posted below looked like it could have been a picture of Marissa and I some 28 years ago, I had no choice but to steal my baby album from my parents house. What do you think? Dead ringers? (Yes, I have pointy ears. And yes, I thank… Read more →
The biggest cousin.
Eva can’t get enough of little Dee. She gave her a bottle of breast milk, and “shhh shhh shhh’d” her until she fell asleep in her lap. In a lot of ways, Eva was my first baby love. She was the first newborn I ever snuggled with. I still remember the moment Marissa called me to tell me… Read more →
