House Update

June 30, 2011 – UTC

An inspection for our Vashon house was scheduled for this afternoon and takes 4-5 hours, so we decided to go visit the house for the afternoon. Gay took the kids to French camp and Gay and I took the ferry over to Seattle to the house. Kelly picked the kids up at noon and took [...]

Octane Fitness repaired again

June 29, 2011 – UTC

Just like last time, the Octane Fitness elliptical started giving me the infamous “Err 3″ after workouts. Just like last time, it got progressively worse and happened more and more frequently, but I could reset it enough to use it. Then the tension feature suddenly started to always be at the highest tension, which is [...]

House update

June 28, 2011 – UTC

Havana and Hudson have French camp this week so we could leave Eva with Kelly and we went to the house to keep working on the stuff I need to do. Gay helped me get all the CAT6 wires punched into the patch panel, a tedious job, and then to test all the wires through [...]

Fun Friday and house update

June 24, 2011 – UTC

Today, Gay and I left the kids at home with Kelly and took the 8:40a ferry, optimistic to have a more productive day at the house than yesterday. Traffic was better today, so it was already looking up. After a quick stop at Home Depot, we got to the house and quickly got to work. [...]

Tiring Thursday

June 23, 2011 – UTC

Havana and Eva had doctor’s appointments so we went to the house so I could do some work while they went to the doctor in the afternoon. The day started bad with traffic on the West Seattle Bridge, I-99 and I-5 so we drove south to avoid it, Eva started crying and we took the [...]

“Daddy, I broke my Hello Kitty headband. Daddy, I broke my Hello Kitty headband. Daddy, I broke my Hello Kitty headband.”

No surgery for Eva!

June 22, 2011 – UTC

Before Eva was born, they saw a cyst on her ovary during an ultrasound. Because we didn’t want to know the gender, they were careful not to explain anything in too much detail (and not say “ovary”!) but told us that it’s probably nothing to worry about and the OB/GYN kept reassuring us. Hard not [...]

Eva is 6 months old

June 20, 2011 – UTC

Eva is now 6 months old. She’s eating solid foods almost completely now, sleeps really well usually, has a great temperament, can pick up her binky and put it in her mouth on her own. We celebrated her half-birthday with a cake after dinner. Mark and Lee, who are in Seattle visiting from London, came over [...]

Father’s Day 2011

June 19, 2011 – UTC

My first Father’s Day with Eva. Gay and the kids made me breakfast in bed, but I was already up and dressed by the time they got to the room. They made me a Bloody Mary with the Bakon Vodka that is so disgusting on its own that it can only be put in a [...]

Selecting the exterior color

June 16, 2011 – UTC

Selecting the exterior color has been delayed and we’re getting down to the wire. The stucco will be fog-coated, not painted (painting is bad for stucco), so it takes longer to get the colors matched and the material delivered. We finally got several color samples painted and hurried Nancy and My to come out to [...]
