Routine makes for a happy baby
October 25 by
Thank the good Lord that lil G is now sleeping 8+ hours at night now. He loves his bath time and then tucks right into bed after a few songs (some worship, some made up) sung poorly by Mommy and Daddy. We found that routine makes all the difference. The three Bs :: Bath, bottle, […]
thank God for Ahma!
October 4 by
My Mom has been such a blessing. She comes down a few nights a week and helps with lil G. I’m not sure how I’d survive this transition without her. She loves on lil G so much and is so attentive…maybe too attentive. 🙂 Thank God for Ahma!
lessons learned from the first month with my newborn
September 20 by
the past month has been a wonderful, exhilarating, and exhausting experience. i’ve learned a ton and on certain days feel like “hey, i’ve got this down.” and then, i get smacked up side the head and realize i don’t know anything. here are some of the first few lessons i’ve learned… Day 1: […]
why’s he fussing?
September 10 by
just when you think you know it all….you have a kid! Having lil G has been the most humbling experience of my life. No instruction manual (although I refer to the books that I have every minute I can), and no one that can really do anything when you’re only nursing for the first few […]
li’l G is here!
August 25 by
lil G’s arrival has been wonderful! we’ve gotten little sleep, but are learning the ropes and have great help from ahma (taiwanese for grandma). we’ve somehow managed to get through my hormonal meltdowns, hunger pains, and sleep deprivation. we are vigilant about the “chart” that i created in excel to document every feeding, diaper […]

So we traded in a car recently. It originally was a car that my parents drove….a convertible. They bought it at a charity auction and got a great deal. However, my parents are both terrified of the sun and never put the top down on the car. Somehow, we ended up with the […]

> what you’ll do for a few hundred bucks! two weeks ago, Graham and i went to utah to check out Sundance. needless to say, Sundance is the best kept secret for those who love to ski. the mountains are empty and the snow is generally excellent. of course, this year, the ski season of […]
family portrait Christmas cards
December 20 by
I’ve noticed a strange phenomenon now that we’re a bit older and everyone has kids. The Christmas card has turned into a family photo op. Most are simple, very sweet, accompanied by a hand-written message. But holy OC! Some of these cards are getting out of hand! Hand-made, bows tied, fold-out books! The economy is […]
know when to fold ’em…know when to run
September 27 by
as i’ve been bragging about…i ran in a 5 mile race a few weekends ago. the nike run hit remix, to be exact. let’s recap…the only reason zoomer was able to convince me to “run” in my first race ever is b/c mc hammer was playing. i figured i’d wear hammer pants and tool around […]
