Jillian waiting for the Chuy's parade to start. #Austin http://flic.kr/p/7iTcfv #
Elephant float at the Chuy's parade. #Austin http://flic.kr/p/7iXrnu #
Finally…All the latch-hooking for the stockings is done. 27hrs 17min. Now I just have to learn how to sew by hand. #
At urgent care with Wesley for a cut on the forehead. Maybe stitch(es) we'll see. http://flic.kr/p/7j4hfy #
Done with the doctor. Wesley got three stitches (and two pokes). He took it all like a champ. All is well. #
Wesley's stitches. Putting on a new bandage now. http://flic.kr/p/7jcHQG #
I love it when Redmond spots an animal and goes into his point. I'm less proud when he runs away in terror from the neighbor's cat. #
It is about 50F in Austin today, but judging by the way folks are dressed you'd probably guess 50 below. #
Amber is vacuuming the Christmas tree…I'm not sure how that makes me feel. #
The kids are decorating the hell out of the bottom foot of the tree. http://flic.kr/p/7jPCeB #
I just saw a small flock of parrots (or parakeets?) fly by my office window. 6 or 7 bright green birds. Probably not digging the "cold". #
Any bets on who gets bitten during Wesley's 4yr checkup? He really, really hates getting shots. Really. #
Wesley proudly displaying his pee in a cup. He also got 5 shots, nasal spray and blood drawn. Everyone is exhausted. http://flic.kr/p/7k1rA4 #
I miss Amber already…and her plane hasn't even taken off yet. #
With Amber gone I'm apparently eating for two. I just finished of what I imagine was supposed to be several meals worth of macaroni&cheese. #
We got some lights up on the outside of the house, but more important we got lights up in the kids' room. http://flic.kr/p/7kgN9x #
While Amber is vacationing in WA, the kids are vacationing at Daddyland. Apparently NOT the "Happiest Place on Earth". #
Snowing in Austin. I'd take a photo but you'd never be able to see the 4 tiny flakes. schools out early on threat of snow. #
Wesley's stitches out. Leg swelling from vaccine unusual but not unheard of. Blood work came back as normal as can be expected for a Hunter. #
The kids have an honest to goodness real dog whose only skill is fetching. Yet they are playing "fetch" with each other. "no play redmond!" #

Everyone watching Wesley open his presents. http://flic.kr/p/7hhZxz #
Amber throws the best damn penguin themed 4th birthday party known to man. Thank you Amber. I love all that you are and do! #
Working on a photo project in Python. Downloading/viewing 1800 pictures of Wesley. Impossible to be productive. He is too cute! #
Backseat on the way to Walnut creek. #Austin http://flic.kr/p/7hxSWH #
Vultures at Walnut creek park. Seen probably 40 or 50 so far. http://flic.kr/p/7hyr7R #
Probably the most important book I've never read cover-to-cover. Darwin's The Origin of Species 150yrs old today: http://bit.ly/7F75rI #
Only a couple of days until its not creepy to be blasting Christmas music 24×7: 8 Sites for Free Christmas Music Online http://bit.ly/7b3GgM #
So many birds it is creepy. This is a small fraction. Everywhere. http://flic.kr/p/7i6uCk #
Playing Wesley's new Hungry Hungry Hippos. A billion times louder than I remember and 8 times less fun. http://flic.kr/p/7i6PKF #
No traffic. Parking lot empty. I guess a lot of people are making it a 5 day weekend. #
As president I believe robotics can inspire young people… And I also want to keep an eye on those robots in case they try anything – Obama #
Just picked up our smoked turkey from Rudy's. Just heat and eat. #Austin #thanksgiving http://flic.kr/p/7ij9cT #
Happy Birthday to the 1 in 365.25 people on Earth who are lucky enough to share it with Wesley. Happy 4th Birthday Wesley! #
In honor of Adrianne, jellied cranberries right out of the can. Wesley approves. http://flic.kr/p/7iAuNE #
My sincerest thanks to farmers the world over. What an amazing bounty we have at our disposal. #
The kids are fighting over who misses mommy the most. She left for the store an hour ago. That 4 day trip ought to be awesome. #
I just learned that when Jillian asks for her "penis" cup she means her "experiment" cup which is in fact a Disney princess cup w/ snowglobe #
Do a lot of people go to Target while drinking? It isn't Walmart after all. http://flic.kr/p/7iQijQ #

Wesley thought this "mattress dominoes" world record attempt video was so funny we watched it 4 times tonight. http://bit.ly/1UT12I #
It's 1am Sunday morning. My RAID reconfigure is only 34% done. I started at 10pm. I don't like this math. Why do you all keep so much email? #
Amber up with J since 4a when she told her she wouldn't make oatmeal. A stuck to her guns (good). Me, I negotiate w/ terrorists. J = #
Baked a lot this weekend. A loaf of whole wheat with molasses, two pizzas, and two loaves of very yummy cinnamon raisin swirl. #
it is almost 730a and I am already drinking a Dr. Pepper, but it's okay because I've already been at work 3 hours. Problem solved though! #
How do you get down an escaped balloon with 16ft ceilings? With a leaf blower of course. http://flic.kr/p/7gq2pD #
Saints preseve me! I'm back at the Sprint store. #
Mountain Goats at Antone's in Austin tonight! $16 tix. Oh why did I procreate? http://www.antones.net #
Jillian in the shower with goggles. http://flic.kr/p/7gKtqm #
2 hours of cuddling, 1 hour of screaming bloody murder and J is still awake. #
On our way to Phil's Ice House/Amy's for burgers and ice cream and a little playground time. #Austin #
Sure the one time I actually try to use foursquare (we don't go anywhere to check in to) their servers are down for maintenance. #

Having "Raisin Brown" for breakfast as Wesley calls it. The kids ate out all my raisins and I was stuck with all the brown. #
J & W adding cornstarch for our cornstarch and water vat of fun. http://flic.kr/p/7dR2cY #
J & W show of the cornstarch stuff. http://flic.kr/p/7dMi48 #
The cornstarch aftermath. I can't believe my mom let us do this in the house. Kids hosing off in tub now. http://flic.kr/p/7dRnj9 #
A sure sign you need a home office? You've set youself up on a folding chair and the dog crate. http://flic.kr/p/7dTYpE #
Wesley is a born psychologist. He just told me to give Redmond a treat when he rings a bell. Pavlov lives! #
At work on a Sunday. Only one here? No. There are 6 of us here. < 50 people in this office on weekdays. We are way too dedicated/foolish. #
Update on employees. Now it is 11 at the office that I've seen. Others working via vpn. Is this the puritan work ethic? #
Is Jillian the perfect coxswain? She is small, loud, likes the water, and always in charge. #
RT @EmilyJillette: Beltway sniper dies via lethal injection Tue "Capital Punishment is the MOST pre-meditated of murders." – Albert Camus #
Just latch-hooked a bear's scarf. 19 hrs in on the 2 stockings. Lots more to go. http://flic.kr/p/7eBma1 #
A mixed handful of Skittles and M&M's is growing on me. Skittles and Reece's Pieces, not so much. Still I risk it due to my sugar addiction #
Ladies and Gentlemen, the 1987 Crystal light National Aerobic Championship video. http://bit.ly/3G8Z1d #
1 hr into swapping a phone at the austin gateway sprint store. @sprint @sprintcare you just aren't good at this. Maybe try a new business? #
So 1hr 40min and just left sprint. Total fail. new phone has no data. can't fix it. Rep told me I was wasting his time. #sprint #fail #
Oh, while I'm railing on cell phones. Let me say that HTC makes terrible hardware. It is just truly awful. #

The pumpkins are carved! J's happy face. Red's paw. W's self drawn scary bat. http://flic.kr/p/7bNAyr #
Let the Trick or Treating begin! Wesley the ghost and Jillian the turtle. http://flic.kr/p/7bYKDY #
Wesley's haul. 3lbs 3.8 oz. How much can I eat without him noticing? http://flic.kr/p/7bWdNn #
Jillian's haul: 1lb 11.5oz She only hit every 2nd or 3rd house. http://flic.kr/p/7c16w9 #
Wesley breaking up our old toilet with a 3lb hammer. Most fun ever. http://flic.kr/p/7c8thP #
Jillian's turn on the 2nd toilet. She tipped over using the 3lb hammer and fell into the toilet. Claw hammer better. http://flic.kr/p/7ccwTo #
It is now impossible to open our car door for any length of time without Redmond climbing in the back, sitting down and refusing to leave. #
Family ready for our first pre-training training run. Amber & I are going to run a, as yet to be determined, 10K. #
Yes I'm stealing from W's candy bucket, but in my defense I'm sticking to the boring and plentiful candies like tootsie rolls. #
Okay I confess. That wasn't a tootsie roll that was a 100 grand bar and it was delicious. I regret nothing! #
If you put that you know Cisco switches/routers on your resume you must be able to answer: What is the difference between TCP/IP and UDP? #
Wesley hiding under the bench at the doc's because he doesn't want his flu spray. http://flic.kr/p/7di9Fv #
Amber trying to eat dinner. I had the rest of table all to myself. http://flic.kr/p/7dpDaa #
Wesley shaving with my razor (I took the blade out first, relax…) http://flic.kr/p/7dCYs2 #
How Jillian fell asleep in her crib: feet up on the wall. This explains all the thumping we hear. http://flic.kr/p/7dHhWm #

The best thing about being salaried instead of hourly? Getting to come in and work all weekend without any of those pesky overtime dollars. #
RT @doctorow Every time I hear someone explain how US health can't be fixed with Euro systems, I assume speaker thinks Yanks have speciated #
Just drank my 1st Big Red. It is all over the place in TX, but I rarely see anyone drinking one. Now I know why. Kind of like bubblegum pop. #
Family visiting me at work. They mostly came up so W could see our three microwaves. Can you believe that? Three microwaves in one room! #
Playing horseshoes. Me: Why is your tongue out. W: It means I'm an expert. http://flic.kr/p/7aeRYM #
Wesley's going to costco outfit. http://flic.kr/p/7aDwxX #
Jillian saw the carrot juice and said "For bunnies!" http://flic.kr/p/7aDJQg #
Reviewing 200 or so resumes for a position in our IT dept. Tip: spell resume correctly or I won't open yours. Hint: there is no "Z". #
Lesson learned: Don't sword fight with a 4 year old girl. 3 weeks and it still hurts to bend my finger. Don't mess with Cecily! #
Wesley in his new booster seat. No more infant car seats for him. Super excited. http://flic.kr/p/7bgdMN #
Wesley's monster halloween bug with lots of penises (maybe the plural is peni?) http://flic.kr/p/7bdemT #
My free Win7 upgrade shipped today. Yay! Too bad it is the lousy Home "premium" version. Meh. #
It is sciency and delicious! Good thing my own DNA isn't so yummy or I'd probably be auto-cannibalizing myself. http://bit.ly/3RRz8y #
How hard is it to put the power supply reqs (V & A) on a device? This new HP laptop has 145 sq inches of space on the bottom, but no info. #
Gentleman with a gun & "Major Crimes Unit" jacket in our office. Likely not going to be as exciting in real life as it would be in a movie. #
A sure fire sign you've been at work too long? All the people who parked near you are gone. http://flic.kr/p/7br1ZM #
Cost of war in Afghanistan? $1million per soldier per year: NPR http://bit.ly/4ii6WX 40,000 more soldiers = 40 billion more dollars a year #
Just had a nice visit with John and Bert. Kids showed them the pond and Bois d'Arc. #
Wesley tells Amber: Your brains are under your hair, but not Uncle John's. His are under his skin. #
Dead on (pun intended) New Yorker Halloween cover. I know I'm guilty (but trying to get better). http://bit.ly/1LTL8N #

On a date with Amber at the Oasis, Austin. Too bad for the rain (and sunset), but nice to be kidless. http://flic.kr/p/74zH8m #
After shopping at the mall (i got a tie) we are at the dollar theater to watch Up. With any luck the kids will be asleep when we get home. #
Up was kind of a let down. okay, but not great for all the press it got. #
rt @Richard_Dawkins "You can hold views that are contrary to evidence if you want, but don't expect anybody to respect you for it." #
Last night W and I were taking turns singing beatles songs (his idea). mine was Hey Jude. His was about an ant a stinkbug and a cockroach. #
To the fine folks at Zirh…Shave cream should not burn. Adjectives like soothing, refreshing, pleasant or enjoyable are more what you want. #
house cleaned. bags packed. kids…not naked. I guess we are ready to go. #
Not looking good for our flight on Alaska. 5 open seats. 6 standby passengers. 2 of which are higher up on the priority list than us. #
relying on the kindness of strangers. all got on. all random middle seats. traded to kid/parent yeams. thank you alaska passengers! #
Landed! So much prettier arrival than ABIA. now luggage, cab, car, 2hr drive. Sleep? maybe sometime. #
