This evening I got my hands on a sweet fisheye lens.

Music to my ears
Posted on May 19, 2009 by Amy
I have another New York post or two coming soon, but first I’d like to serenade you with these wonderful words from Kyle, spoken matter-of-factly: “There’s a Carter’s outlet beside my hotel, so I got Owen something. There’s a Children’s Place, too, but they didn’t really have anything I liked.” Kyle (who I’m sure is [...]

Guest Post from Kyle
Posted on April 10, 2009 by Kyle
I promised Amy I would make a guest blog post if she ever reached a certain number of pageviews in one day. At the time, she was getting about -1 pageviews a day and I felt safe. I knew better though, because when Amy gets some sort of goal in her head, she tirelessly works [...]

O is for Owen, K is for karma
Posted on April 1, 2009 by Amy
Our sweet little one is showing some personality. We’ve established a fairly consistent nighttime routine: Kyle and I slip Owen into this pajamas, I read him a book while Kyle holds him, and then we settle him into his crib with a prayer. Then we push the “magic button” of this thing** … … Turn his [...]

Spelunking
Posted on March 29, 2009 by Amy
Warning: Random and Very Boring Post Ahead I have many fears in life, one of which is caves. I really never have any desire to go exploring in a cave and stumble across the mutant humans who inevitably live at earth’s innermost core, all blind with rubbery skin and 12-inch incisors. If you’ve ever seen [...]

Tough, Transparent, Too crazy
Posted on January 22, 2009 by Amy
In the sake of transparency, let me tell you why I haven’t written much about being a mother: Being a mother is hard. So very hard, for many reasons. But for now I’ll share with you only one of those reasons, lest you think I’m a horribly incompetent and irrational person. (Which, to be fair, [...]

Dear Owen,
Posted on October 1, 2008 by Amy
Today I pulled out a ruler, just to help me visualize how very long you are. As I’m now 28 weeks pregnant, you’re almost 15 inches long, all squeezed into my body. What a miraculous gig you’ve got going on in there. Yesterday I emailed your dad, pointing out to him that in less than [...]

Coasting
Posted on September 24, 2008 by Amy
Since E.P.T. abruptly signaled a near end to the us-centered lives of Kyle and me, we decided that it would be wise, responsible and prudent to take a week off from work to spend money we don’t have on a little getaway. So that’s what we did. We took a cruise from L.A. and visited San [...]

We’re not ready for children, Evidence No. 2
Posted on August 7, 2008 by Amy
Okay, okay. So my blogging lately has been a little “lacking” and maybe I have “slacked off,” but, really, isn’t time just flying by? And I’ve been SUPER productive during the interim. Like, by being guiltily engaged in the racy world of mindless television! (Haven’t you too been exchanging your cognitive functions for the cleavaged drama [...]

Wise beyond our years
Posted on July 11, 2008 by Amy
Someone asked Kyle and me the other day, “What has surprised you most about marriage so far?” With not yet 1.5 years of marriage under our belts, we agreed that the most surprising thing has been how much more we’ve enjoyed the dawn of Year 2. During our engagement, well-intentioned folks would say things like, [...]
