Jonah’s a dog paddler

Jonah’s now a dog paddler, making it across the pool several times unassisted. I think watching lots of Olympic swimming helped.

Elisha in the middle
Posted in Kids on Apr 28th, 2008 1 Comment »
Elisha was the most wonderfully tranquil child through 18 months. Then she mutated into a willful little beast. We’re still working through her terrible twos–the sooner she discovers she’s not queen of the world, the happier she’ll be–but she’s given us more than a few glimmers of hope in recent weeks.
Part of the problem, of [...]
Jillian

Jillian deserves a bit of a mention here because business and family have curtailed my blogging.
The girl is cruising–holding onto objects and walking about–and does a funny-looking, speedy little bear crawl like nobody’s business. She remains cute and cuddly, and gets wildly enthusiastic upon seeing me first thing in the morning. (She gets wildly enthusiastic [...]
Jonah turns five
Posted in Kids on Apr 28th, 2008 No Comments »
It’s hard to believe that the boy has been here that long. Watching him grow has been an amazing experience, and I continued to be a mess of emotions just thinking about it. (Can one be both proud and humbled simultaneously?)
It’s not a lock that he’ll be accepted (though we are technically a parish [...]
More anagrams

A blast from the past (my weblog, June 1998, specifically) with anagrams. (Bear in mind some anagrams turn a bit offensive. If you’re sensitive to such things even in this day and age, do not read).
Elisha Davison =
Voila! Danishes.
Shaved liaison
Inhales, avoids.
A diva, Holiness.
Aha! Divine loss.
Aha! Solid veins.

The long crawl
Posted in Kids on Feb 24th, 2008 1 Comment »
Jillian’s got her game on, and has at long last begun crawling forward. As you can imagine she is thrilled by this new ability. Erin and I are trying to convince her to use her powers only for good, never for evil. Time to start doing a much more thorough cleaning of the floor.
Song titles
Posted in Kids on Nov 2nd, 2007 1 Comment »
I asked Jonah for some song titles the other day. Here’s what he gave me:
• “Bird, How Much I Love You”
• “Raisin Corruptor”
• “How Much Money Do You Have Left?”
• “My Egg Got Broke in Jail.”
I’ve already start working on “Raison Corruptor.”

Jillian continues to sleep, eat, poop, sleep, eat, poop. There’s a little crying mixed in there, too, but not much. She’s a pretty docile kid thus far. Erin, who gets up with her, has even managed a six hour stretch of sleep at one point. Last night it was about five. Lousy by objective standards, [...]
Jillian Elizabeth Davison

Born 8:04 PM on June 15, 2007. 7.12 lbs., 19.5 inches, a full head of black hair.
But let’s start earlier in the day.
Erin had a medical appointment at 9:45 AM, where we learned that after several days of irregular contractions she was still only 3 CM dilated. Oh well, baby will show up when baby [...]
My 4th birthday party
Posted in Kids on May 5th, 2007 No Comments »
Brama, Poppers, Uncle Bret all came over, and we all went out for breakfast to my favorite restaurant, the Flight Deck. We had to wait a bit since it was unusually crowded, but the food was yummy as always, and I was pretty happy just walking around outside with Poppers and Uncle Bret.
When we [...]
