The other night Ruthie counted all the way up to 26, at which point she got caught in a vicious circle of never entering the 30’s. It went something like this: 24, 25, 26, 21, 24, 25, 26, 24, 25, 22, 23, 24, 21… and so on. It was hilarious, because she never [...]

No matter how many times I clean him up, he still looks like this 99.9% of the time.

This morning when I got Thomas out of his crib, he pointed to a group of toys on the floor and said, “Bee Bee Bah!”
So I handed him the Baby Bottle for one of Ruthie’s doll’s.
He furrowed his brow, threw it to the floor, and pointed again.
“BEE BEE BAH!” He said more emphatically.
I looked at [...]

I should have known what I was getting into. Friends had warned me. I saw the signs, but ignored them. Thinking I was a beautiful swan diver, I belly flopped dramatically. And painfully.
For the Valentine’s party in Ruthie’s preschool class on Tuesday we were told to bring valentines for each [...]

All is well, or nearly so, with the Zugs. Thomas is getting over his bout of bronchialitis, Ruthie is so far staying healthy, and most importantly… daddy is home again. The computer has been turned off, for the most part, to focus on these things.

Our trip to the San Jose area couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve spent the last couple months reorganizing and reprioritizing my focus as a mother and household manager, trying to correct the part of my brain that sometimes finds it easier to focus on the latter and see the former as [...]

The other day while I was making lunch, the kids were playing in the family room located in the basement. At one point I became alarmed at the quiet (as all mothers do), and snuck down the stairs to spy. At first I was pleased to observe Thomas and Ruthie pleasantly sharing a [...]

I’m working on a video diary from my day at MindCamp3.0 yesterday, but in the meantime here is a short clip of Thomas. I spent some down time yesterday evening between sessions to sort through my huge library of photos and videos and found this one from our trip to Palo Alto in [...]

Have you noticed that every time a man needs to take a crap he brings some sort of leisurely reading with him? What is with that? For the longest time I actually wondered if there was something wrong with me because when I go I’m in and I’m out - no time for the [...]
