11/30/07

I'm writing on my new-ish Macintosh computer right now. It's 7:20 in the morning, and I'm waiting for Logan to wake up. I can hear him stirring on the baby monitor, and about ten minutes ago he let out a small squeal. I hope he's healthy this morning - I plan on taking him to daycare. He's been mildly sick for the past couple of days. More distressing, he's been waking up in the middle of the night, and not getting back to sleep for hours. It's a return to new babyhood!

It's been very cold lately - in the 30's for the evening walk. Logan has developed the very sensible habit of tucking his hands under his body in the stroller when he's finished with his milk. It would help if he actually wore gloves, but I'm just happy we've convinced him that his hat won't kill him!

Thanksgiving 2007

I'm still recovering from Thanksgiving 2007!

Stacie and Pierre came up from San Francisco with their boys Ethan and Hayden. Karen and Bill came down from San Francisco. Heidi, Logan Chazz and I traveled over to Bellevue from Seattle, and Kimmie, Dave, Mack, Zelda, Sophie, Ezra and Buster came from Sammamish. It was quite a full house on Thanksgiving!

Karen and Bill could only come down for the day. In fact, they left right after dinner. Stacie and Pierre were able to stay the whole weekend.

Logan had a blast, and now remembers all of his cousin's names. He ran around the house, climbed up and down the stairs to the playroom and tried to keep up with his older cousins. He liked to be pushed around in the plastic car in the playroom - I had to spend quite a long time crawling around pushing the car on my knees.

David brought a strange hops tea concoction he has been working on. It's pretty tasty, and mimics the flavor of good beer far better than typical non-alcoholic beverages. He's eager to market it as a drink. I think that if he can get the word out people would really pay for it.

Pierre and Dave set up a projector in the playroom. They played Wii as well as movies on the projector.

It was a fun weekend. By the end of the weekend I was really tired! On Sunday I worked most of the day on the CBS Daycare plans, and had a meeting at 7:00 to show them to the folks at CBS. The meeting dragged on until 10:00!

11-12-07

This weekend we went up to Vancouver BC to visit my sister and her husband. We drove up late at night, while Logan was sleeping in the backseat of the car. Heidi picked me up at the LIHI charity auction at around 8:00. She parked in front of Vaughn's and gave me a call. I had to leave right after the meal, while the auction was still going on.

We didn't do very much in Vancouver. We walked around on Saturday, and went to Granville Island. Logan had fun in the Kid's mall, and Chazz had fun at the dog treat store - though he had a tussle with a dog whom he thought was going to get his treat!

Sunday Bill and Karen had guests over for brunch. I felt like I wasn't terribly social, but I had to follow Logan around most of the time.

On Monday I turned 37. It was a normal day at work, without very much introspection. That night Heidi Logan and I went out to eat at the new Tutta Bella in the Paul Allen financed high rise at Dexter and Westlake. At dinner Heidi told me what I had suspected from a phone call earlier in the day - she's pregnant. Kid number two is on the way - hopefully and knock on wood.
