about us
This is a blog about Patti, Branden, Kai, and Finn, the two geeks and their baby (well, babies) of the title. We’re not famous. Neither are we infamous. But some people like to look at pictures of our kids, since they are rather adorable and so far are pretty good at winning folks over, so those people come here. We try to post pictures often, but life does silly things to schedules and we don’t fight it. *

B has proven his commitment to our children. He threw his iPhone to catch a child.- Thank you Shelby for driving. very. carefully.
- We just picked up Brandens surprise cake from Charm City Cakes. It is so cool!
- @waxpraxis even better, no tantrum when class was over either... though he did try to insist that you would be home tonight.

@2geeks That's awesome babe! Give them both a big kiss and hug from me!Add your reply Retwitting lolajl from TweetDeck
@2geeks That's great!
- @waxpraxis he paid attention, didn't cry or run away (two other kids took care of that) and was itching to get climbing, sliding & swinging.
- @waxpraxis he did great. there was a single brief try to get me to come on the mats with him, but he sat right down with the class.
- Kai is in his very first gymnastics class ever. I an so proud! He's not freaking out at all!
- @2geeks That's so awesome!! Please tweet more later!
- # @waxpraxis I finally saw the pimp Keenan pic. Must. Have. Want it as my "keenan" pic on my iphone. Nom Nom.
- # America's boyfriend is on The Colbert Show
- # Stephen Colbert in Iraq = Hilarity
- # hello limoncello cocktail
- It was a l-o-o-ng bedtime tonight. Much fighting and losing of patience.
- "I have a great idea daddy and uncle Dereck can move my bed down to this room."
- @2geeks Ha! Vying for his own room already!
- @waxpraxis less looking for his own room, more trying to game a way to continue watching Wipeout instead of going to bed.
- Tried a new strategy: no tv until you bathe. It sort of worked, I'm surprised to say.
- @waxpraxis some chocolate-esque meal bars were in the vicinity of the rabbit.
- @barefootfoodie 2.4
- Campaign to talk up gymnastics classes & minimize first day freak out possibly backfiring. He wants to go NOW; Thurs not acceptable.
- @waxpraxis The Underwear Fairy: your offering has been favorably received.
- @2geeks Which offering was this?
- # site has been updated. New pic every day this week. No peeking.
- # how do cats always know when you're about to get up?
- Dude is stange, but you know I'm just happy he ate the eggs.
- Figured out that Kai likes his scrambled eggs cold. Been-sitting-out-on-the-table-ignored-for-hours-oh-now-they're-perfect-nom-nom cold.
- Even better, somebody do it for me and carry me up to bed and tuck me in. Kthanksiluvyoubye.
- Somebody make me prep the boys' lunches for at least tomorrow, if not the next two days, even if I just want to go to bed now.
- "Once in a row makes a habit"? No no no no no.
- Crawled into Finn's crib to get him to sleep after 45 minutes of other options. Please, God, don't let him think he gets that every night.
- # Ah crap. I broke off the right arrow key and can't get it back on.
- Finn just rolled off the couch, landed on his back w. a nice *thump*, looked dazed for a sec, then shook it off & stood up without a sound.
- Drat it all. Once again I wait too long to use coupons and miss out on $4 off my grocery bill. And by only one day! Grrr.
- Finn is problem solving.
- I probably shouldn't be excited as it will take me 200% more time to nitpick over the next photo book.
- Blurb updated their software. Hot damn!
- # 17 more pages to go. I may need Hulu rescue, but for this task that would be a bad idea.
- # somebody kick my ass and get me back to working, please.
- K: I don't know. Let me check... *sings* Apples come from... what do apples come from?
- @2geeks My . . . Kai is very creative!!! I wonder where he got that from . . .
- I asked if he had a song about Apples.
- Then a bit later: I have a song about chicken. *sings* Chicken has... something in it!
- I have a song about.... blackberries. *sings* Blackberries come from... something!
- Kai was making up songs at dinner (first time, from what I know).
- It would either agree that my favorite was also its favorite too, or it would make up a word. "My favorite peach is a jizlittlebru peach!"
- What's my favorite candy? orange? peach? school? snack? peach tomato? movie?
- Kai just put one of his shoes on his hand, introduced it as a puppet and then proceeded to interview me about my "favorites"...
- Finn walks really steady, but like a bulldog.
- Sell, me no like.
- I caught him before he really got started (pshew) then kept behind him the whole way like a wall. But, he never seemed to need rescue.
- "Evil Kneivel" the 1 year old just climbed our stairs-of-death. All of them.
- How can you tell when pre reading and word shape recognition turns into actual reading? Because, well I have strong suspicions.
- @2geeks So you think Kai may be starting to actually read?
- @lolajl if be had just memorized the shape I'd think he'd be more correct.
- @lolajl even more "damning": sometimes he reads a word but gets it only half right
- @lolajl it is possible. He reads signs, the tv guide, random written things with words I have no reason to think he has seen before/ often.
- The cynic in me says this won't last, though ( if getting him to bathe is any indication).
- Kai helped me make his bed just now and he's quite proud of himself.
