Me: Did you see that tonight there could be wind chill down to minus 75?
Ryan: Yeah but the temperature will probably be minus 30 with very windy winds.

Ryan: Yeah see, it's only going to be minus 45...

The First [of many posts] about Moving
I don’t talk about it too often here but given where we are right now, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. My husband is a pilot in the Air Force. We are stationed in Alaska - we do not live here by choice. Believe me, I don’t understand why anybody would live here [in Fairbanks] by choice. When I met him back in mid-2009 he had already been assigned here. It was too late to voice...

'Scrubs' tells it like it is
Carla: I just want a baby so badly… Turk: Why? What’s it gonna be like having a baby? Carla: Dr. Cox said it’s like having a dog that slowly learns how to talk. Turk: Awesome!

Life at 9 months
The developmental leap between 8 months and 9 months has been huge. babyD went from being a baby who could adequately crawl with his arms, to basically a toddler who can crawl from one side of the room to the back bedroom all while I’m making my morning cup of coffee. He doesn’t stay still for even a nanosecond these days. While we were in Hawaii, he perfected his crawling skills we...

I’m in Hawaii with my entire family. Don’t worry, it’s being heavily documented. Pictures and other crap to resume next week.

Holy S**T
In the 90 minutes that my son has been awake today, he has started pulling himself up on things to a standing position.
Ryan was home this morning so he got to see it too. And then he said “we’re doomed!”

8 month happenings
In the last month, babyD seems more and more like a toddler and less like the “little” baby we brought home 8 months ago. His personality is starting to shine through and he’s quite enjoyable to be around these days. He’s determined and focused and most of the time, actually pretty quiet which is weird considering who his parents are. He plays well by himself and can...
