Jude and Rosie
I got Andy a vacuum cleaning robot for Christmas. Andy named her Rosie. Jude loves Rosie (Andy and I love her too, for that matter). Jude loves powering Rosie on by himself and he loves chasing after her and cornering her. Every time I’m giving Jude a ride in my arms past Rosie (who is …
A Reasonable Valentine’s Request
Happy Valentine’s Day! Andy and I haven’t celebrated yet. We agreed back in the day that if V-day falls in the middle of a week, we would celebrate on the following weekend. One of the benefits is that we can buy each other presents on clearance (e.g., candy and flowers). For V-day this year, Andy …

Christmas Cookie Baking, My Mom’s Birthday and Another Hickey
Andy, Jude and I went to my parents’ house last weekend to celebrate my mom’s birthday and bake hundreds (if not a thousand or more) Christmas cookies. I am the taste tester. I taste the candies that go into some of the cookies, the dough and the finished product. I ate so much junk food …

Katie, Phil and Ivan were there, along with my brother. That weekend we celebrated Katie and Phil’s birthdays. Katie and Phil share the same birthday (November 27th). …
