Today I picked up Walker from Sofiya's day care and I got some gelt. For those of you who are not MOT (members of the tribe), gelt is the chocolate money folks give to each other during Chanukah. I don't know the significance (I'm sure you can find something on Wikipedia) but it's fun and

I've had some requests for more video and it's been tough to find the time to get something charming enough for the world to see. Work has been really, really busy and I'm still trying to find the balance between Adobe, paying bills, making yummy food, and spending quality time with my little Love Lump.

Since I've successfully made the transition back to work and Walker seems to keep growing (funny how he does that), Larry and I decided it was time for Walker to make the transition to his room and begin sleeping in his crib. Knowing the poor kid has been going through a lot of change which

It's Halloween and despite the fact that I haven't slept in a week, I have to post a few photos and a short blog. Walker has decided to wake up a lot during the evening. About a week ago he started waking up every two hours but quickly falling back to sleep after eating. It's

Well, today was the last day of maternity. Walker starts day care tomorrow (Larry's and my 11 year anniversary) and Monday I go back to work. (I've had to be very careful with how I reference this transition. I've found that I've been saying things like, "this is our last day together" which makes it

I sit here late on Sunday evening considering what to do with the rest of my waking time -- writing thank you notes, paying bills or blogging. Given I have a mere week before I return to work, I have decided to spend the time writing to all of you. There are just four more

When I was 10 I was nipped by a dog on my face. It was my fault (I was trying to cuddle with a bookstore dog I didn't really know) but I was a bit wary of dogs after that. We always had cats. When I was 21, I moved to San Francisco and lived
