J and I have loved the hit ABC show Modern Family ever since my sister introduced us to it mid-first season. And over the past summer, as we patiently waited the new season by re-watching reruns, something began to dwell on us… “Hey, isn’t…?” “Phil Dunphy acts a lot like you!” “And you’re exactly like Claire!” And […]
Cloudy: The Good and the Bad
Remember Cloudy? No? Let’s see if this picture of Claire crotch-punching Cloudy rings a bell: I keep forgetting how TINY Claire used to be! She is now more than twice Cloudy’s size. You can read all about Cloud’s origins here, including the hilarious story behind her name. 🙂 Lately we have been keeping Cloudy near Claire’s diaper […]
Boy’s Awesome Reaction to Finding Out Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker’s Father

In other words, whenever she saw another child playing with a toy she liked, she would march on over, tell the […]
Tattletale
J loves our firstborn with all his heart. It is not unusual for him to spend an entire Saturday playing with her, then stare forlornly at the baby monitor after he has put her to bed and sigh, “I miss my baby.” That being said, he is much better at saying “no” than I will […]
Engagement Photos of the Year [Zombies]
It is no secret that J and I share a love for the zombie genre — books, movies, video games, and even reenactments. (Also, is it wrong that I totally want to get Pat the Zombie for Claire?) As such, I couldn’t help but find the engagement photos of Juliana S. Park and Benjamin J. Lee […]
Arrested Development + Lego = Awesome Sauce
As a huge fan of the canceled television show Arrested Development (I couldn’t have been more proud of my husband when he named his Fantasy Football team “Steve Holt!” one year), I am LOVING these meticulously-detailed pieces by Matt De Lanoy. Photographed by Pepa Quin, the display was a wonderful addition to Brickworld 2011 in Chicago. The model […]
