We were in San Francisco last week on vacation, with the kids and their mother’s parents. Had a great time, but it was indeed challenging (at least for Dad) with the kids in tow. Lots of great pictures, some of which we’ll post here eventually.
Updates from July, 2009

We’ve switched themes here on the site to something we hope will grant us a little more flexibility in posting stuff as it happens. It won’t help much with photos or anything, but for quick notes and observations, etc, it should make things a little easier. Let us know if you see anything wildly broken.

Bring on the comments (registration is no longer required)!
Stacey and Alex
We used to require registration before you could leave any sort of comments on posts/articles at all here. This has changed; we look forward to hearing more from all of you!
Comments will still be moderated to prevent spam from appearing–so a comment will only appear after a short delay once we’ve had a chance to make sure it’s legit–but you no longer need to register or set up an account to participate.
You’re still entirely welcome to register an account here, of course, but it’s absolutely no longer required.
We really hope that any of you that have been hesitant to post comments will now take a moment to participate in articles and posts and other news or tidbits we post here. We’re excited to open things up a little bit, and we’re hoping this leads to good discussion and feedback. Thank you!

No News Really Is Good News, We Promise
Stacey and Alex
It seems like every few months we’re apologizing for the lack of updates. This is another one of those times.We’ve been really busy. New job, new house soon (!), lots of packing, and just getting a lot of Big Stuff(tm) taken care of lately.
Sure, it sounds like a line, but it’s really true. And we’re really, really sorry.
Benjamin’s super-excited about the new house. He’s stoked to have a new room, and a new house, with a new yard, a giant wooden play set in the yard with a slide and swings, and lots and lots of room. He’s also pretty excited about our decision to get a kitten once we’re in the house, and to befriend some new neighbor kids to play with.
Zachary continues to grow and smile and laugh. He’s almost crawling, but not being able to crawl doesn’t stop him from moving across 25 feet of floor in just a couple seconds, rolling and twisting his way from Point A to Point B. He eats well and plays well. We’re very pleased with his growth and his demeanor. It’s so strange to see him in Benjamin’s not-really-all-that-old clothes…So that’s a quickie update. More soon after we move and get unpacked and settled in. The next few weeks are going to be busy!

Benjamin At Two - Pictures!
Stacey and Alex
Proofs from Benjamin’s 2-year birthday pictures! Since they’re just proofs, they’re not large nor very high-resolution. You can click them to get slightly larger sizes.
Zachary (roughly 5 months old here) is naturally in some of them. We went to a Target photo studio near us; the woman there was rumored to be terrific…and she was. We were very impressed with her ability to capture great facial expressions and the natural look and feel of Benjamin.
We didn’t order all of these poses, of course. If you see one you really like, though, let us know!

Party postponed, everyone sick as dogs
Dad
That really says it all. Everyone’s sick with cold or flu or both, who knows. It’s terrible. Had a rash scare with Zachary that turned out not to be what they thought it might be (ITP). Birthday pics for Benjamin were rescheduled, too.
Rough week. Looking to reschedule party to a date a couple weeks from now. More on that when we figure it out…
