Another excuse to have cake: celebrating Hudson’s half-birthday. He’s 2½ today.

Trapdoor

February 23, 2011 – UTC

I had to go for my checkup with the opthamologist after he fixed my eye — it’s healing perfectly — and Gay had a haircut appointment, so we went into Seattle this morning. We went to the house and talked to Mark about some things. Katie happened to stop by and we talked to her [...]

From the annals of bad customer service: ServerBeach

February 21, 2011 – UTC

In trying to compare server hosting companies, I tried to get an account at ServerBeach. I filled in my name, address, credit card info, etc. and submitted it. I was told it takes 24 hours to provision a server.

Eva’s 2 months old

February 20, 2011 – UTC

Eva is 2 months old today. She’s still a great baby, I can’t imagine how a baby could be easier. She only cries when she is hungry and, unless it’s taking too long, her cries are quiet. Like Hudson, she goes to sleep easily — no 45-minute struggle like Havana was. And she’s almost sleeping [...]

Pacific Science Center

February 18, 2011 – UTC

While Gay, Eva and I went into Seattle, Kelly and her nanny friend also went into Seattle to take the kids to the Pacific Science Center to see dinosaurs, butterflies (“papillons”, as Havana says), etc. Hudson loves dinosaurs. His favorite is the Triceratops, which was also my favorite as a kid.

Two Breweries

February 18, 2011 – UTC

After the unscheduled visit to the doctor, we swung by the house to check on progress. The drywall was going up in the attic. The guest room was done and we could see some of the cross-ties through the drywall. It’s going to look great when the ceiling is all drywalled. Kelly and another nanny [...]

Metal in my eye

February 18, 2011 – UTC

For the first 15 minutes of grinding the rust off the steel beam two days ago, I wasn’t wearing eye protection. I was getting some dust in my eyes so I went and found some eye protection. But I was too late. Last night, my left eye started to hurt and was bloodshot. Looking in [...]

De-rusted the steel beam

February 16, 2011 – UTC

We went to the house today to look at exterior paint color samples with Nancy and My. We’re pretty sure we’ve picked the window sash color so we can move forward with painting the windows before they go back in. I also cleaned up the garage steel beam. It started to rust and we didn’t [...]

The Jeep fits!

February 10, 2011 – UTC

Back in August or September it took us quite a while to design a staircase in the garage that would still let us put a car as big as the Jeep in it. We figured out a design that gave us inches to spare above the hood. It also places you right between the cars [...]

Havana says…

February 8, 2011 – UTC

Havana: “Daddy, your [whiskers] matches your sweater.” Me: “They do? My sweater is brown, isn’t my [whiskers] black?” Havana: “No, your sweater is grey.” (She calls “whiskers” a “mustache”)
