I have never been happier to lose an election. Even though I fundamentally disagree with the social policies of both parties, I could not be prouder of my country right now. I was moved to tears many times tonight, but perhaps the most profound moment for me was Jesse Jackson crying. Simply overwhelming. God bless…

Wonderful Life
Life has certainly taken on a whole new speed lately. I keep thinking I should be getting more blogging done, but with 4 jobs, a music career, a budding art career and a newborn any time I have seems like is better spent outside silicon. Spent on this little cutie for instance: It is all…

Things that really irritate me
Just a list… 1. People that are constantly late. 2. When I am late. 3. Violins that are out-of-tune, especially in an orchestra. 4. When I ask my children to do something and they tell me, “ok. Just a minute…” and then don’t do what I asked. 5. Sopranos that are flat. As in musically,…

Naughty
My mom called me this morning to tell me her friend tried to look at my blog to see pictures of our baby but couldn’t because this post (now renamed and removed) was labeled as naughty. Sure enough, when I checked from work I couldn’t even get into my own post about the dangers of…

All You Need is a Shower
Like I mentioned, I am sleep deprived. Emily has her days and nights mixed up and although it is getting better, I am pretty tired most of the time. I am sleeping in until Emily starts to cry–which is usually right around noon. At this point, I have had it and don’t want to…
Read moreHow Important is Sleep, Anyway?
Oh God. I am so tired. Emily seems to think that night is day and day is night. She also seems to have a lot of gas. It is a continual symphony of farts down there, poor thing. The formula she is on is called “Gentle Ease” and it is supposed to help with gas. …

Back to where we started
Emily weighed in yesterday at 7 pounds! We took her in because she was a little “backed up” the last few days and they wanted to relieve us of our co-pay to inform us to keep feeding her a little prune juice each day. Man them babies sure can hold a bunch of poo. It…

Hi
I got lucky with this shot of baby Emily last night. She has been smiling already – especially in her sleep – and this one looks like she is saying hi. I think she was actually saying – “Put the camera down fool and feed me!” At least Mom got the message.
