Abbie & Ian & Tory Update: July 2005
http://abbieupdate.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Abbie and Ian and Tory Update. Sunday, July 31, 2005. How dare you disturb me during nap time! Abbie is now in the midst of the journey to one nap per day. This is huge for me because it means I’m losing one of my two stretches during the day when I can do something that doesn’t involve applauding when I see a block pushed through the correct hole. Posted by Matt at 9:30 PM. Saturday, July 30, 2005. Posted by Matt at 9:18 PM. Friday, July 29, 2005. Two pizzas for the price of one at Doughy's! Abbie and I...

Abbie & Ian & Tory Update: August 2005
http://abbieupdate.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Abbie and Ian and Tory Update. Wednesday, August 31, 2005. Whenever someone discovers that Ellie is pregnant, one of the first questions we hear is When are you due? This question usually comes right between do you know what you’re having? And how hard does it suck to be you? That’s the attitude you get from a father who brings his screaming daughter to garage sales and lets her run loose. I don’t know and we won’t know until after they’re born. What are their names? We haven’t decided yet. Keep in mind ...

Abbie and Ian and Tory Update. Thursday, June 30, 2005. Dalmatian can almost be rearranged to spell Dammit Lana. Posted by Matt at 9:17 PM. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. They share and love and share!

Abbie & Ian & Tory Update: April 2005
http://abbieupdate.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Abbie and Ian and Tory Update. Friday, April 29, 2005. Move Along, Nothing More to See Here for Now. Posted by Matt at 10:16 PM. Best Rummage. Day. EVER. My first stop was a near mythical location: A reasonably priced virgin selection of a four-year old girl’s former wardrobe. This is why I leave in the morning, especially on days cold enough to cull the weaker shoppers. I scoured this sale for a good 30 minutes before leaving with a shopping bag stuffed full of pink-hued delights. We do not let her play...

Abbie & Ian & Tory Update: May 2005
http://abbieupdate.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Abbie and Ian and Tory Update. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. Too many hours of planning and obscene amounts of money culminated in a first-rate first birthday for Abbie on Monday afternoon. We, and by we I mean mostly my very helpful father-in-law, grilled hot dogs and burgers in our communal park on a beautiful Memorial Day. We actually managed to serve an appropriate amount of food, as we had a manageable number of leftovers. Especially popular was my Oreo Fluff . Here you see the authentic Mexican piñata we,...

Abbie & Ian & Tory Update: September 2005
http://abbieupdate.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Abbie and Ian and Tory Update. Friday, September 30, 2005. We visited Toys Backwards R Us for our experiment. We chose this store partly because any store with the word toys in its name has to have a pretty good selection. Mostly we went because we knew they had a toy we were considering buying her on sale. It’s the Fridge Farm Magnetic Animal Set, and here’s a picture:. Posted by Matt at 10:02 PM. Thursday, September 29, 2005. Do You Expect Me to Talk? What do I do when my child cries? Not that our ques...

Abbie and Ian and Tory Update. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Now we just have a waiting game, hoping everyone continues doing well, and watching for more firsts. Like this first I experienced a couple days ago:. He was back under the bile lights today. Ian is still under the lights. Maybe both will be off again tomorrow. Posted by Matt at 10:26 PM. Tuesday, November 29, 2005. It’s still better than refolding strewn burp clothes. Posted by Matt at 10:26 PM. Monday, November 28, 2005. I nodded with a smile...

Abbie and Ian and Tory Update. Monday, October 31, 2005. Trick or Treat Pictures. Time is short, so I'm taking the easy way out and throwing up a bunch of pictures. These are from the trick or treating we did at the Des Moines Zoo. My verdict: If it weren't for a good cause, it would have been a huge waste of money to get in. Happy Halloween. Posted by Matt at 9:59 PM. Sunday, October 30, 2005. How to Tick Me Off. In case it’s too small to read, it’s addressed to Ms. Posted by Matt at 9:46 PM. Buy their ...
