Life Imitates Art

As an aficionado of good music and blues, I was struck by how odd that 2 of my favorite songs on the Blues Brothers soundtrack have to do with our lives in a span of one week. This past weekend we visited Chicago (Sweet Home Chicago) for Wonderwife’s family reunion and today we are taking […]

Storage Sneak Peek

Packing the boxes isn’t enough. Taking them downstairs is the hard part!

Boo!

Wonderwife had turned on the television to unwind after our moving sale Saturday and stopped the channel flipping on a showing of Pixar’s animated movie, Monsters Inc. What stopped us was the fact that monsters are supposed to scare children and the child on screen (nicknamed Boo) looks VERY similar to our little Daphne when […]

Allie-Bama

Yesterday we said goodbye to Allie, our 7 yr old family dog. We had her since she was a little puppy in Missouri. When we decided to move to Texas next month, we knew we could not take her with us and it broke our hearts to give her away.
What makes this easier for us […]

Keep/Sell/Trash

The weekend after we found out we are moving to Houston found us sorting our basement & garage into nice neat sections. This is our 4th move in twelve years and it never ceases to amaze me how much stuff we bring onto ourselves. This time around we’re blessed with baby stuff. Her stuff may […]

The Winds of Change

The Change Agent: Wednesday afternoon was when I found out that I had lost my job. After Daphne was born, Wonderwife & I decided it was best if the girls would stay at home and still feel this is what is best for Daphne. So the weight of the financial stability falls to the Mojo. […]

What’s In Your Bag?

I tease Wonderwife about her bag obsessions which has blossomed even more since we carry a diaper bag around as well now. I really should be careful after I realized that I too carry a purse. So what kind of baggage does the Mojo carry?

Wasted Weekend

No, I didn’t get wasted, although at times I sure would have liked it. It started Thursday night when I could not go to sleep. Daphne was sick and fussy. On Friday night I had every intention of going to a party and a sci-fi convention (to photograph the freaks & geeks). Forget it. I […]

Sicko

the face of discomfort in the doc’s office
Our little bundle of joy was not feeling so joyous yesterday. She’s had a fever off/on for the past 2 days around 99. When I got home from work, she was burning up, her hands/feet were cold and bluish. We visited a pediatrician (after hours) who diagnosed a […]

.6

Daphne,
You have been a member of this world for 6 months and already, you have been a huge blessing in our lives. For the eleven years your mother and I have been married, you were on our minds. Now that you are here with us, you have enhanced our joy. Watching you grow and […]
