In which I am left to my own devices (with a quick update about why I can't go back to the US just yet). What would you do with 2-3 weeks all on your own?
We spent this past weekend visiting with some friends in Lausanne, Switzerland. We (finally) got our A/C (mostly) fixed, but the heat wave continues unabated. We sure were glad to…
Kristian and I went shopping the other day and the guy helping us out said, "Hey, your French is decent, are you Belgian?" First of all, this is empirically hilarious.…
We had our first French dentist appointments last week. It was incredibly efficient. I think all three of us were in and out in less than an hour. They took…
I won't bury the lede... the heatwave broke last night! I was suffering at home when, all of a sudden, I could hear the wind pick up outside. Kristian was…
We're getting ready for Hurricane Sandy. And by getting ready, I mean "hanging out, watching the Weather Channel." We made some brownies last night (no, not that kind) and Kristian…

Lilian and I had a doctor's appointment on Monday (one of the advantages of sharing a doctor). She's doing really well. She now weighs ten pounds and ten ounces. My…
Exhibit A: Today, I intentionally dressed our baby like a hipster. (Maybe that's why she's so fussy today...) Exhibit B: She broke free from her swaddle this morning. And, because…
Today is our one year wedding anniversary. Can you believe that, in a year, we've gone from this... . ...to this? (That is a profoundly terrible picture of me. I…
While we were recovering in the hospital, every vaguely medical person who glanced at my chart felt the need to come into my room and ask me about post-partum depression…
Yesterday was my birthday and Kristian's birthday was a week ago. And, we're insane. So we threw a big BBQ yesterday to celebrate our birthdays and so everyone could meet…
