  • Washington DC and Happy New Year to you

    I had a week off work for the last week of the year so we went down the Washington DC for a few days. We rented a car and drove there and back (not such a fun drive). Once there we had a good relaxing time in the nice weather (50s) and enjoyed a few museums,...

  • Boxing day - a trip to Rockefeller Plaza

    The day after Christmas we took Zachary to see the big Christmas tree at Rockefeller Plaza. We tried out the front 'harness' to carry him instead of taking the stroller. It was OK though we swapped turns during the trip - it's not as easy as just putting...

  • Christmas day

    Ho ho ho, we had lots of fun today. Zachary watched while dad slaved away opening the pressies. Mum video'd the whole thing so watch out for upcoming movie previews at a theater near you. Luckily I have 2x250Gb hard drives to store it all. Thanks to all...

  • Three months: flist slobbering, caterwauling, moaning, & Christmas.

    A fun December so far, busy at work, but fun at home... Zachary is getting noisy. Cooing, sighing, urgling, caterwauling, singing (Guns 'N Roses style), and moaning. Zachary finds out that if his fist ends up near his mouth (either fist is fine), in it...

  • Tha she blows!

    After a relaxing weekend we went into hospital by subway for a leisurely c-section! Look what popped out, starting off late (taking after mum I fear): 8'3" 21" long baby boy Zachary! He was delivered in a a room with views of the east river but did not...

  • I guess people need to know!

    Well, I've been emailing out to all my friends old and new that we have a baby on the way, I figure we might as well spread the word before he pops out! It is still something that perhaps hasn't fully sunk in yet, though we have bought a few pregnancy...

  • Rainy weekend

    The last couple of weeks have been interesting - we got the genetic testing results back and all is normal. This is good news, the testing process by nature tends to focus on the small chance of a problem, but really the odds are always good. But when...
