A Blood and Guts Post

Posted on June 12, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 3 Comments

Ok, I lied, there are no guts in this post, but there is blood, lots and lots of blood . . . but don´t worry, I didn´t take any photos. Not until after the fact, that is.
It was a quiet evening . . . I was feeding Dante . . . Irving was listening [...]

Yet More Fun Food

Posted on June 12, 2008 - Filed Under Food | 4 Comments

Today I got out my bento stuff again, now that it´s so easy to wash all those little bits and pieces, and made some fun lunches for the boys. Today I made the same thing for both of them since Dante is pretty much eating whatever Dorian eats. They were a big hit.

I’m a Honda S2000!

You live on the edge, and you live for the adrenaline rush. You don’t need luxuries, snob appeal, or superfluous gadgets. You put your top down, get your motor revving, and take all the curves that life throws at you at full speed. So what if you spin out occasionally? [...]

This morning, our water was hooked up to the sink. I was looking forward to having running water and hadn´t really used the new counter until the sink was ready. Well, it is. And I have discovered so much! (please bear with me, I haven´t had indoor running water in nearly 5 years!)

It´s SO easy [...]

Dante has been really freaking out lately about going to bed. I know he has woken up occasionally with flea bites or mosquito bites, but we were chalking it all up to teething. Then this morning he woke up with a very red foot that was hot to the touch. I looked at it and [...]

Yesterday, my counter arrived. A day late, but who cares . . . it´s HERE!! Now, because of the weird configuration of the counter and my stubborn insistence that the sink be at an angle (everyone in Guatemala now thinks I´m a complete freak, first for needing an indoor sink and secondly for wanting it [...]
