Congrats to my amazing friend Amy and her family on the arrival of Audrey Jeanette! She was born at 11:39 a.m. weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces and 20.5 inches long.
Amy is a relatively new friend of mine (by that I mean in the last few years) but such a kindred spirit [...]
aye, that he is.
At his 2 month well baby checkup, he tipped the scales at 11 pounds, 13 ounces. That is a gain of 13 ounces in 2 weeks. Don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it is what it is. I was secretly hoping for a 2 pound gain in 2 weeks. [...]
James can count to ten. Yesterday he could not. Today he could.
With all the yummy food we’ve been brought after Lowell’s birth, I’ve been curious about some recipes. This has led me to a site that I can’t wait to try out! RecipeThing.com (our username is none other than davejenbarnes) My mom’s playgroup is where I found out about it. I hope to find some [...]
My 360 is dead…temporarily. I am kind of in mourning, as I realize just how often I used the thing. For those of you without a 360, it is so much more than a gaming console. I watch DVD’s on it, I video chat with my homies, I browse the marketplace and download many things…come [...]
They’ll be traveling to Chicago in December to perform at Midwest.

The Cedar Park Middle School Band was the only middle school band selected [...]
I’m loving my ella roo wrap. It makes this stage of parenting so much easier when we’re out and about. I’ve always had a kind of disgust for the carseats that people lug their precious babies around in — seen them get bumped and jarred and set on the floor at public places [...]
Lowell was eleven pounds on Monday at our 6 week checkup. His next appointment is on the 23rd — his 2 month visit and he will be getting his shots…
I’m unbelievably exhausted, so that is all I will type for now.
I don’t recall what James was like at 6 weeks old, but I can pretty much bet that he wasn’t this much work. Lowell is a very demanding little man. He cries all the time, well, unless he’s asleep or nursing. There isn’t really any quietly aware time for this boy at this age, well, [...]
We took the boys to a field at Dell Way and Mays in Round Rock and got some fun pictures today. Check out our photos page for the collage.
I decided to take pictures for the first year with Lowell and his blue bear to gauge his growth. He is already getting so big and he’s only 5 weeks old!
I don’t know where the last five weeks went though… they kind of disappeared into the black hole of parenting. I meant [...]
