Ash barfed on Clive’s face this morning. I laughed my ASS off. And then ran to get the camera.

Oh man, I miss heat. Today was like +10 so Ash and I were able to just wear our hoodies and not be cold. But it’s not good enough! I want sun and surf and warm ocean water! Clive’s going to GA from May 11-24 on business and we’re going to try to [...]

Oh thank, BabyCenter, for telling me where my kid is supposed to be developmentally. Judging him as a 6.5 month old, the following is how Ash ranks. The bold items are things he cannot do yet:

Dear Ash,
You’re SIX MONTHS OLD! That’s half a year!! HAPPY HALF-BIRTHDAY! Let’s party! And we did!
