Choo-choo-chaboogie

Posted in Mose, New Orleans, life lessons on May 23, 2009 | 7 Comments »

The mystery has been solved.  The train set is from Mose’s godparents, Carolyn and Kennan.  And what a present it has been.  Which is not to undervalue the numerous and various presents given by friends, family, and even ourselves.  It’s just that Mose has some kind of choo-choo mania that cannot be explained, was completely [...]

Two year olds eat dirt

Posted in Uncategorized on April 14, 2009 | 3 Comments »

This truth should, perhaps, be remembered as we struggle with fancy parties for our toddlers.  They like the fun, the kids, the toys, the cake, the ice cream, and the like, but could probably care less about style, decor, and ambiance.
The video, below, isn’t so much a Mose video (although he’s in it), but rather [...]

Reading that makes you nuts…or at least bananas

Posted in Mose, New Orleans, parenting on April 14, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Mose has a number favorite books, but certainly at the top of the list is Richard Scarry’s Longest Book Ever!

We’re busily scarfing down breakfast, doing last minute fittings, and preparing to head out onto the parade route. Can’t wait! Until we get back, here’s a preview of Mose’s costume. Once again we worry about unleashing this much cuteness on the world. But we’ll take the risk.

Mose and Mardi Gras

Posted in Uncategorized on February 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »

The short of it: Mose loves Mardi Gras. It’s like he was born to it. He puts his arm in the air, waves for beads and toys, bops to the marching bands, and at the end, he just wants more. We’ve got some photos and video and more to come, but wanted [...]

H is for History

Posted in DC, Mose, Washington, milestones, politics, travels on January 19, 2009 | 5 Comments »

We’re on our way out the door in 10 minutes to take the train to Washington, DC, to share in the celebrations of MLK and the inauguration of Barack Obama.  I’ve been hoping to write a more considered piece on this day and moment in history, but that will have to wait for our return.
