Sam’s getting to be an old man now: he has reached the big ten-oh. This past month was quite the busy one for him and thus he has kept Mommy and Daddy busy as well. He has even roped Lydia into the game of Pick Up The Toy I Just Threw On The Ground (And […]

OMGWTFBBQ
So . . . notice any new posts around here lately? For a long while, there hadn’t been, and I realized the times, they are a-changin’. Therefore, I’ve decided to spice things up by consolidating. When we found out Lydia was coming, I started the HappyScienceExperiment blog in secret so I could still write out […]
the no good, very bad week: a tale in three parts
Crisis #1. Last Sunday was going along pretty normally. It’s typically Laundry Day around here, so we buzz around the house, doing chores, watching movies and eating snacks. That afternoon Sam was having just such a snack while The Husband and Lydia were entertaining themselves with a book or somesuch in her room when suddenly […]
a most joyful day

a summary of Sputnik
I have been writing a lot, it’s just all been on the kids’ site. You can go over there to check out the story of Samuel’s arrival, from the countdown to the liftoff and the ascent. There will be an orbit as well. Not only have I been getting Sam used to the camera, we […]
the launch of sputnik, part III (ascent)
After they evaluated Samuel for a while the N.I.C.U. elected to admit him since his breathing was still more rapid than they would have liked it to have been. They also wanted to treat him with antibiotics in case he had fluid in his lungs, which can happen easier with c-section babies. The rest of […]
