End of Silence

I took Halloween pictures this morning on the way out the door with both the Fuji and my Nokia. I posted the Nokia shot to the moblog before we even got to school. I just got a notification from Textamerica that they picked up the shot and added it to their Halloween moblog. Kinda cool. [...]

I’m running out of creative ways to describe Baby Chaos updates.

I posted a picture of the kids at a pumpkin patch on Saturday on the moblog. We picked one out for Stepan and Jennifer’s annual pumpkin carving party on Sunday. Check out the photos taken with Stepan’s new camera. He took individual shots of the finished products. This one is ours.

There’s a midwife rally this Thursday at 5pm on the south lawn of the Capitol. Work permitting, we’ll all be there. You can get more information here.
The rally is basically to support access to midwives in all settings: home, birth center, and hospital. Access to midwives in hospitals here in Austin was severely limited last [...]

Kuff responds to Bush’s Australia speech. Right on.
There’s new Baby Chaos as well.
Finally, we’re preparing for Halloween. The Boy’s gone from wanting to be a pirate to Stitch to Spider-Man to finally, Jango Fett. We got the costume this past Saturday. The La is supposed to be Maid Marion to Mateo’s Robin Hood with Jesse [...]

The La’s birthday on Saturday was a quiet affair with Jaja in town to help celebrate. We got a cake with lots of frosting for the required one-year-old covered in frosting birthday pictures which I’ll get around to posting sometime this week. The La got a Rock, Roll & Ride Trike from Jaja and Grandpa [...]

Emmy-award winning The Daily Show (a.k.a. The Greatest Show on Television) last night joked that the movie Predator is apparently an abundant source of governors as both Ah-nuld and Jesse "The Body" were in the film and speculated that we may someday see a Governor Carl Weathers or a Senator Predator. I’d like to point [...]

When we were home over Labor Day, The Wife and my sister found a couple of old pictures of my dad that I had gotten from my grandmother several years ago. I thought they had been misplaced in one of my many moves, but they were at my parents house all along. I finally got [...]

So, Ah-nuld is governor-elect of Kalifornia and the Red Sox and the Cubs are still in the running for the World Series. Has anyone checked the temperature in Hell lately?
On a much more personally annoying note, it appears that the presidential primaries in Texas could get bumped a week due to the redistricting fiasco. This [...]
