After a long week ending with a flurry of sudden c-section action, Mr. Samuel has arrived.

hey honey, look! we got a survey in the mail
I started thinking about it last year. As the calendar rolled around to 2010, I started anticipating it. As news stories started popping up, trying to make something political of it, I started getting excited. It was almost time. And last week, it finally came . . . my very own questionnaire for the 2010 […]
the creepy man that sneaks into your house at night
As opposed to last year, Lydia decided Santa is The Scary Man Extraordinaire. What a nice set of molars you have there, child!
room full of stuff

steven’s second life
Last week the awesome band Coldplay was in town performing at the Amphitheater (Verizon Wireless and their sponsorship can go walk off a cliff) and it seems like everyone but us went.

Second point of order: check out […]
hypothetically speaking, of course
Steven: “Hypothetically, if we filled up a vacuum cleaner bag, where would I find more?” Me: “Sears.” Steven: “No, I mean in the house.” Me: “Oh, the utility closet.” Steven: “Hypothetically, if there weren’t any there, then where would they be?” Me: “Then hypothetically, we would be out. Hey, what if, hypothetically, you were to […]

Ran into this on Amazon. Model child doth not look happy. Looks freaked out, in fact. I would be too, kid. I would be, too.
