Apparently, even weekly is too much. I’ll try to be by more often, but with naps a thing of the past, I feel like my free time has vanished. I try to sneak by when I can, even if I don’t comment.

While we were home last week, Nana (my mother) asked Knute what Puppy does for a living:
“Knute, what does Daddy do?”
The response:
“He makes things. He builds things.”
Well, the Rocket Scientist does sorta build things that go boom!, okay. We’ll give him that.
Nana asked Knute what Holly does for a living:
“Knute, what does Mommy do?”
The [...]
Hi y’all. I just wanted to let you know my niece (blog named) Olivia, has arrived. I’m officially an aunt. And, Puppy’s such a cute, beaming uncle. Knute doesn’t quite grasp what a cousin is, or that he’s not the only grandchild any longer. Little Miss O decided to debut [...]
When I go about my day-to-day, there are many times Knute will say a phrase or a one liner, and I will stop and think, “I gotta remember to write that one down.” Invariably, there are so many I have missed over the years. It’s a shame, really, because seeing into the mind of a [...]
With multiple degrees between us, it only took the rocket scientist and I about three hours to figure out how to make the Flip work. That’s pretty sad, isn’t it? You asked for Knute LIVE!, so Knute LIVE! you will have.
He is the one first in line at the beginning. You will hear him say, [...]
There were many things I told myself I would do as a parent: never deny Knute books when he asked for them, stick to the schedule at all costs, never be afraid to give him a good wallop when he needed it, and lavish praise for jobs well done come to mind. I think I’ve [...]
Remember a few weeks ago when the wind suddenly got a little bit crisper, the temperatures left my beloved 80s opting instead to fluctuate between 33 and 67 daily, and the catalog frenzy began to signal Christmas time was near? Back when a three point five foot wunderkind so near and dear to my heart [...]

Have you ever noticed as the Mommy, you are generally the one behind the camera? I am actually in few pictures with Knute for this very reason. Last night, Puppy, Knute and I constructed an airplane out of his cardboard bricks. My son, who looks freakishly like me, absolutely has his [...]
As I am a shopaholic, and I have a squirmy, precocious toddler, my days of spending long afternoons spending in each and every store I went in window shopping are quite a thing of the past. Knute is not a fan of the mall experience. Luckily, there are alternatives.
I have no problem admitting I’m something [...]
It is a well-known fact I’m in love with the mother of the Burgh Baby. I’ve stated this at least umpteen different times, and considering that we have been engaged for almost all of 2008, I’m pretty sure you all know it. My Silly Billy Burgh slays me at least once a day, oftentimes more [...]
