Team DiVa Tuesday – 30 April 2013
Tuesday – 30 April 2013 It’s been a good week with Team DiVa. Here’s just a little bit of proof: Namaste.
Father’s Day 2012
Sunday – 17 June 2012 It’s my first Father’s Day. And, so far, it’s been quite good. I’d like to wish a “Happy Father’s Day” to the fathers out there, as well. The day started with Team DiVa waking up at 7:00. It was slightly earlier than I had wanted to get up, but that’s [...]
Waypoint
Monday – 30 April 2012 A new work week begins as April ends. This morning, Diana decided to wake up around 5:30. I thought it somewhat odd, as she took fairly short naps yesterday and fell asleep fairly easily last night. While she’s been “inchworming” herself backwards for the past few weeks, she’s recently started [...]
It’s Monday again.
Monday – 19 March 2012 Another work week begins and this one has brought snow flurries with it. The past few days have been good. And a bit busy. Highlights included: Taking Adventure Babies: Team DiVa to Sugar House Park for a walk on Friday. We parked near the duck pond, so they watched the [...]
Halfway There (Part II)
Thursday – 08 March 2012 It’s another NBN Thursday. It’s also International Women’s Day (1, 2). And… Vanessa turned 6-months old today! Last night was fairly low-key around the house. The girls tried – and devoured – a new food: Pears. So, it seems that the only unpopular food (at least so far) is peas [...]
Finally…
Friday – 24 February 2012 It’s (finally) the end of the week. It’s my working Friday, but it’s also the quiet day in the office; this isn’t to say that the day hasn’t been productive. Of even more importance: The twins slept through the night again! And… *drumroll* … for the second consecutive night! I’m [...]
“Show, Don’t Tell…”
Thursday – 23 February 2012 Another No Bad News Thursday is upon us. Something that makes this day just a little bit better: The girls slept through the night again! Vanessa (l) and Diana, in new headbands… rocking out with their Sophies and some tissue paper This more than made up for the atrocious nights’ [...]
“No, I have not been to Oxford town…”
Tuesday – 21 February 2012 Ugh. That’s how I felt this morning when my alarm went off. Not because the girls woke up in the middle of the night. (Which was fine, as they woke up about 4:15 and were asleep again shortly thereafter.) No, last night’s broken sleep came courtesy of some rather disturbing [...]
“Froggie jumped all over the stage that day…”
Monday – 20 February 2012 It’s a new work week. Yay (or something to that effect). I am, however, rather excited as the girls – for the second time in three days – slept through the night! Vanessa (l), Sara, and Diana That’s right, seven-and-a-half hours of sleep. (If only I didn’t have such disconcerting [...]
“Mere reason alone can never explain how the heart behaves…”
Tuesday – 14 February 2012 Happy Valentine’s Day to all! And here’s a little Valentine’s Day cuteness for you: Vanessa (l) and Diana Last night, my mother-in-law came over to help get the girls situated for bed while SaraRules! was at a Justice League meeting. Diana has recently started skipping her late-afternoon nap… so she [...]
“Here am I, sitting in a tin can…”
Friday – 13 January 2012 It’s Friday. Hallelujah! And the fact that it’s Friday the 13th? Meh. It’s my “on” Friday, but it’s quiet around the office, so I should be able to get a few things accomplished with minimal interruption. That would be a “good” thing. It’s also Playoff Purple Friday: Last night was [...]
“See the little pufferbillies, all in a row…”
Saturday – 26 November 2011 This morning, SaraRules!, the girls and I went on an early-morning family adventure. We went to the UTA Intermodal Hub to see Union Pacific #844, part of the UP: Steam exhibition. We met Dave, Angy and Angy’s niece, Sierra, there. Pictures were taken. It was a good start to the [...]
So… close… to… vacation-time…
Tuesday – 22 November 2011 It’s Technical Friday. And I’m ready for it to be Quit o’Clock. (Just being honest.) Last night, Dave and Angy came over to watch football and to visit the girls. Vanessa (left) and Gene Simmons Diana The game wasn’t all that compelling, but it was football. And we watched. Somewhere [...]
“that southern smile hides a frightened frown…”
Wednesday – 02 November 2011 Midweek. New comics. Fire drill. (Not necessarily in that order.) Last night, the girls were… agitated… for some reason. They were fussy and restless through bedtime, including during bath time, which they had – until last night – been getting better about dealing with. They were so cranky that we [...]
Thursday’s Child…
Thursday – 13 October 2011 It’s a sunny No Bad News Technical Friday. The morning started with a frozen mocha and doughnuts. Personally, I think that’s a great way to kick off the last day of the work week. It’s pretty much common knowledge that I appreciate good customer service. A few months ago, I [...]
