We’re planning to go to Vancouver, Canada sometime next year to visit Antonio’s sister, and we’ll be taking Tommy (our 6 year old).   Last year the government started requiring a passport for travelers returning from Canada and Mexico, and the wait for a passport was so bad, it was making headlines.
Our local post office was [...]

I love to shop!  Before I had kids, my shopping stamina was unsurpassed - I could literally shop all day long.  After I had kids, my shopping stamina… well… remains untested.  The problem is, my boys hate shopping.  At least Tommy (my 6 year old) does.  And shopping with a baby is not easy.  What’s [...]

Don’t you think our heads are a bit small for our bodies?  Antonio snapped this photo of me reading the ZooNooz magazine with Tommy.  I thought it was cute how our heads and the lorises heads matched up.
Also, until I typed this out, I never noticed how ZooNooz is a palindrome.  In fact, I never [...]

Baby Ike turned 6 months old last week.  It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, but the calendar doesn’t lie.  I took him to the doctor for his 6 month check-up yesterday.  The kid weighs 21.5 lbs!   Of course I’ve known he was big all along.  You don’t give birth to a 10 lb [...]

What kind of birthday present do you get for a guy friend? Finding the right gift is a difficult task. If they have a hobby, you can always get them something for that hobby. But chances are - they already have what you’re about to give them, and theirs is much [...]
