Dan and Jen’s Blog

A while ago, I decided to knit Dinah a headband from some yarn I had laying around.  Take a look!

Tomorrow (Friday), we go in for an ultrasound for Baby Dos and we’ll find out whether he’s a he or she’s a she.  Any predictions?

Here’s a few ways you know you’re travelling with a toddler in a compact car, especially at night when she needs to be sleeping: you change lanes in such a way that you strategically avoid the iridescent bumps you take your jacket off with your seat belt on because if you remove your seatbelt while [...]
