We went to National Harbor’s Christmas tree lighting… the day after Thanksgiving. And then we got so busy with Christmas preparations that we forgot to actually publish the entry. Whoops. Well, maybe it’s better late than never–it was cold there but fun with Diana and Ken. Some photos: We went back again during the day [...]

We celebrated Turkey Day by hosting my sister Diana, her husband Ken, my Aunt Anne, Uncle Curt, and cousin Dave for dinner. Andrew’s brother Jeff, his girlfriend, and her daughter rounded out the guest list for dessert. I did a lot of delegating and pointing in the right direction, while Andrew did the bulk of [...]
When we last saw Diana and Ken, Ella was clambering all over a playground in Chicago over Easter. This time, we met up with them in Philadelphia. More accurately, in 110-degree Philadelphia. Diana, Ken, Sara and Ella suffered through a Phillies game at the (not-so-new-anymore) Citizens Bank Park, and were looking remarkably recovered by the [...]
As mentioned earlier, our cherry blossom expedition was only the beginning of a fun weekend. We picked Ella up after naptime at day care, and headed out to the airport for our first flight with Ella as a two-year-old. We debated over whether to bring her sit-n-stroll that can go on the airplane or just [...]

My three sisters came to visit this weekend, along with two of my nieces–and for a dose of testosterone, one of my brothers-in-law. We all hung out and didn’t do too much, partially because of nap schedules and the fact that I was trying my best to cough up a lung all weekend. Maria brought [...]

Gotta love Sinatra. Ella and I (and her Aunt Diana and Uncle Ken) are back from our trip to the Big Apple and The House That Ruth Built. On Friday, we went on one of the last stadium tours, and then went to a game on Saturday. The tour was very cool, partly because a [...]
Here are more photos from Diana & Ken’s wedding weekend, courtesy of Theresa:
Ella’s been making it known for the last couple weeks that she’s about ready for something other than plain milk (if you need an example, just see the post below about Ella at the ballgame trying to drink my soda). So now that we’re back from Diana & Ken’s wedding, we thought we’d let Ella [...]

My sister Diana and her longtime BFF Ken got married on Sunday near Chicago. Woo-hoo! Despite scary-looking clouds, the rain held off and the ceremony was held outside as planned. The one wrinkle: the rain the day before made the ground very soft, so the females of the wedding party had to fight to get [...]
We’re in Chicago for my sister Diana’s wedding this weekend. Once again, Ella was awesome on the plane, and we made it here in one piece. Tonight, the girls took Diana to Lucky Strike for some bachelorette bowling. We ate good food, drank some yummy drinks and then sucked it up on the lanes (except [...]
My sister Maria’s pug Tyrone had been in declining health for a little while, and the time came for him to go to doggie heaven. We are all very sad, but are sure that he is sitting beneath a deck, catching all the meat drippings from the big grill in the sky. My sister Diana [...]

While Andrew was writing tales about his weekend with Ella at home, I was spending my time in Chicago with the other females of the fam. Here are a few photos to illustrate the insanity that was the whirlwind of a Saturday. We all crammed into a cab, driven by a cute cabbie who also [...]

So we’d heard bringing babies to restaurants in the first few months is easy, but except for a quick lunch at Corner Bakery a couple of weeks ago, we hadn’t tested the theory (and that didn’t count since it wasn’t table-service). We’re pleased to confirm that, indeed, 1-mo. old babies make WONDERFUL dinner companions! Ella, [...]

Ella gets to hang out with her Aunt Diana (and Sasha, of course). Isn’t our little tax deduction cute? (And yes, of course we are biased!)
