Too many hobbies, not enough focus
The boys are a year old now and it's amazing to look back. Not at the way they've grown or the things they've learned, but at all the stuff that we had and the things that the boys did that we no longer have to deal with. Here's the list of all of the things …

Today was quite a day in the Taylor household. It was supposed to go relatively smoothly; we had done most of our packing earlier this week so we were just going to go to work, chill out until the end of the day, pick up the boys, finish up some minor things this evening, and …
Recently we've been preparing to visit my father in Texas. We've made a list, we're checking it twice, and we're just not sure who will be naughty or nice. We leave Wednesday morning and have about eight hours of travel ahead of us. We are bringing our two one year old boys through an airport …

Today we celebrated the boys' first birthday. We decided to throw an "open house" style party where instead of having the party at a specific time we kept it open for most of the afternoon so that people could come as they pleased. We stuck the "Happy Birthday" portion in the middle, which of course …
Zachary has recently been exhibiting a behavior I can only refer to as "micro-tantrums". A micro-tantrum is a sudden, short, and dramatic tantrum that manifests itself when Zachary feels the need. They occur suddenly, usually while crawling, and involve him dropping his arms and laying flat on his stomach, twisting to the side, laying his …
Add another item to the museum: I've begun collecting old issues of MacWorld. I just picked up 12 issues from 1998 and 12 issues from 1997 on eBay and I will be receiving issues from 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1999 soon. I'll be adding these to my collection of 1999 - 2006 issue from the …
