For Christmas 2006, Aunt Barb got Simon a crib aquarium. It’s been a key component to our nap and bedtimes for ages now. Here’s what the folks at Fisher price say about how or why it works: “The Soothing Seas Aquarium is a crib attaching infant soother that captivates baby with the mesmerizing effects of […]
Yesterday was a tough day. I was feeling a little off, but Jessica was a complete wreck from her continuing bout with the stomach bug. She was exhausted from being up almost all night the night before and still achy and sick. I decided that if there was ever any reason to take a sick […]

I’ll blog later today or tomorrow about Simon, but for now I have a new Tristan update. He’s still in the kitty hospital, and I still miss him a whole bunch. With luck, he’ll come home tonight. I went to see him yesterday about noon, and to my pleasant surprise he had already had his […]
