    Another lost tooth

    One of Namine’s bottom teeth fell out.

  • Music lovers

    Music lovers

    I am the odd man out in my family. They’re nearly all musicians — my mom and dad have education in music, my sister too, and my brother at least has a good singing voice — but I just love music. And as far as Namine’s upbringing goes, I think that’s enough.

  • Playing Rock Band

    Playing Rock Band

    The other day I got a text from my mom: “Saw this at a rummage, $25. Interested?”

  • School and a fire alarm

    School and a fire alarm

    When I got home from work yesterday, I already had a pounding headache. Jessica and Namine were still doing school. Namine had only one more thing to do before her day was done, but she was being difficult. With my head pounding, I took over school for Jessica so she could have a break.

  • A smelly lunch

    A smelly lunch

    Yesterday after therapy, I had lunch with Jessica and Namine. We unintentionally went to a smelly restaurant.

  • Fancy navigation

    I wanted to share this little bit of code, because I think it’s awesome.

  • Sick and crabby

    Sick and crabby

    Everybody gets a little crabby when they’re sick. Namine is no exception.

  • Making biscuits

    Making biscuits

    A couple nights ago, we made biscuits and gravy. I was relegated to sausage-browning duty (for the gravy) while Jessica and Namine made the mix for the biscuits.

  • Going to the park

    Going to the park

    For several years now, Jessica and I have volunteered at Polish Fest. We’re not polish ourselves, but it’s a fun time and we get some free food in exchange.

  • The Spirit moves the heart

    The Spirit moves the heart

    Namine is getting more and more into participating in church, and that makes me happy. Paying attention to a half-hour sermon is iffy at best, but that’s also true of most adults, so I’m not really worried about that. But Namine loves to sing, and hymns are a great way to drive children’s participation.

  • A perfect storm

    A perfect storm

    This post could also be titled “How an update to the Github app combined with a change to how my project compiles Sass rendered me incapable of committing my code.”

  • At the zoo

    At the zoo

    We had a free day today (technically yesterday, since it’s now after midnight), so our plan was to clean the apartment. But then we thought, you know, why clean when we could go to the zoo? That sounds like a much better way to spend a Saturday.
