Aaron has been on a tear lately, since Monday (4/14/08) of this week. As of yesterday, 4/17/08, I have come home 3 of the last 4 days to him screaming at my wife. If you heard his screaming from out on the street (and you probably could), you would think this kid was completely out [...]

From the first moment we talked, after we hung out for the first time that night in my dorm room and after I realized she wasn’t some Amazonianly-tall girl like the picture she sent me led me to believe, I was finally proven right after so many years of half-hearted joking. I would sometimes say [...]

Holy sheep shit! I just fixed a known (to me) bug in the vox-crossposter WP plugin I wrote a LONG time ago. All I changed was the character encoding from $email_headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1′.”\r\n”; to $email_headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8′.”\r\n”; If you look at the second “known bugs” list at http://www.acedanger.com/vox-crossposter, you will see [...]

Aaron starts soccer practice tonight. This time, he’s on a team that we thought was really badass the last time he was in the league. This team was great last year in that most of the parents wore shirts that matched the kids’ jerserys at each game. There was enough kids on the team last season that some [...]

Eli is eight days old. After having him with us, I can’t help but wonder…why didn’t we do this sooner?! Seriously, this is great. Eli sleeps through the night (mostly, he might wake up twice), cries softly and is adorable too! It is wonderful to see Aaron interacting with him. Oh! Eli takes a pacifier! Do you know/understand [...]

Meri, Eli and I are back from the hospital. Eli was born on 3/12 at 11:36am. He is 9 lbs 5 oz and 21.5 inches tall. Eli slept very good last night. Meri was pushed for about 15 minutes and Eli was born. Meri made the delivery look easy (compared to Aaron’s delivery). Below are [...]

Heading to the hospital

No comments

It’s 11:05pm right now. We are leaving here in about 10 minutes to head up to the hospital. Aaron is upstairs, sleeping in his bed. We explained to him that we won’t be here in the morning (unless Eli pops out REALLY fast!) and that if he needed anything, his aunt is downstairs. He seemed [...]

Aaron is allergy free now!

No comments

Some Background My son has had three allergies: milk protein called casein egg whites mold Most people thought that since he was allergic to milk, that meant he was just lactose intolerant. That assumption annoyed the hell out of Meri and bothered me a bit as well since it really seemed like people (in general) [...]

No baby yet…

Meri started contracting last Thursday. It’s been almost a week and still, Eli is not here. We are still scheduled to be induced Tuesday (March 11) night around 6pm. Last Friday, I worked from home because I wasn’t comfortable being an hour away in case Meri did go into labor. I worked from home Monday [...]

Aaron reading and spelling

No comments

Below is a video that I recorded a few weeks ago. In the movie, Aaron reads me the book “Silly Sally” and at the end, tells me how to spell his name. It’s cute, fun stuff.
