Wow. Last post was 12/31. It's been a busy 2010 thus far. Our renter bailed on their lease in December. We spent over a month trying to find a new one. During that time Phoenix had some serious rain. The...
A decent storm blew threw Arizona last weekend. Flagstaff got up to 2 feet of snow. That doesn't happen very often here, so we took advantage of the opportunity and took Maggie to see her first snow. She was a...
Wow, it's been over a month since our last post. All is well. Maggie is standing, walking (almost) and chatting up a storm. When asked, "Where is Daddy's ear?", she will happily show me then attempt to rip it off...
Maggie and Debra were on the news last night! They were recently at Wildflower Diapers during the recording of a 12 News segment on baby wearing. [YouTube Video Link] They did great!...
On Monday, Organizing for America held a rally in support of health care reform outside the Phoenix Convention Center. Obama was delivering a speech to veterans. Debra and Maggie attended the rally. Despite the typical hateful rhetoric and gun-toting of...
Marissa and John hosted the Ellis clan Sunday for a swim party. Given the 115 degree high, it was a great way to spend the day. Maggie got to spend the day with her cousins Reef and Xavier. I think...
It's been a few weeks since our last post. We've been busy-busy with family events, baby activities and CA trip preparation. Here's your long-awaited blog update. Maggie turned 9 months on June 27 and had her 9 month check-up on...

Debra had a busy day off. She, Maggie and Diane made their annual visit to Greenwood Cemetery. Debra and the baby then went to Mommy & Me yoga class. Finally, they went to the townhouse and packed up a load...
It's been a while since we've updated the blog. We're in Tempe this weekend for the annual Sinclair family reunion. The morning has been slow and relaxing. I'm catching up on some photo editing. The girls are enjoying a mid-morning...
Maggie is just over five months old. I'm looking back over the photos we've taken since she was born. After editing there are still over 400 images! I suppose that's expected with two amateur photographers as parents. Even so, I...
My aunt and uncle, Oleta and Reuben, are visiting. Last night we all went out to El Encanto Dos near Cave Creek. It was Reuben's first time meeting Maggie and she just loved him. I think it was the bushy...
Maggie turned three weeks old yesterday. We had a good week. She reached her birth weight last Monday (6lbs) and seems to be growing by the day. The common theme of the week was sleep....or lack there of. Maggie had...
Wow, what a week. This little girl has changed our lives in such a glorious way. We can't wait to introduce her to all of you. Maggie's first week is in the books and she's doing great. She's feeding well...
We're starting week 35. Just five weeks to go! Debra is feeling pretty good overall. The baby is growing fast and moving all over the place. Most of her discomfort is from the baby pressing against her spine and various...
After we got our wedding pictures back in April, we made a little slideshow. We had grand plans to send the video as part of the wedding thank-yous, but never quite got around to it. I'd forgotten about it until...
Debra and Kat spent last week packing up the condo. This week she's been unpacking and getting her stuff settled. Now that her pantry is added to mine, we have enough food to feed a small army. We've both got...
Debra spent Tuesday-Thursday up at Camp Colley outside Payson. Kids from her school visit the camp each summer and she helps out as a volunteer. She goes again week after next. Apparently it's not fun sleeping in a tent six...
Debra is out of town this week. She is in San Diego with her cousin Carole, helping with Carole's wedding preparations. So I've been left to fend for myself and fend off the other four ladies of the house (Dulce,...
We're in week 21 of the pregnancy and Debra is feeling a lot of movement. Until now the baby has been too small for me to feel any movement from the outside. So Debra and I were sitting on the...
