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!

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!

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!

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…

We’re having an informal get-together at home for Benjamin, on Saturday at 2pm, to celebrate his 2-years-oldness, which happens formally in about a week. If you’d like to stop by, please do! but we’d love it if you’d leave us a note and let us know so we can plan a little ahead. :)

We know it’s late notice already, so if you show up, you show up, and we’ll all be happy to see you. :)

Can’t believe it’s been two years already!

Mommy is one year older! I turn one more year older soon, too!

She’s still a lot younger than Daddy, though. Daddy’s REALLY old!

OK, gotta go… I hear someone coming, and I can’t let them see that I know how to use the computer properly! Bye-bye!
