Sometimes I learn such awesome stuff on the internets. Today I learned about Perihelions. Did you know (anyone besides Tadd and Wally) that the Earth’s orbit around the Sun is actually elliptical? I didn’t. Yesterday the Earth was at is closest orbital point, to the Sun. I read about it on Gothamist, but the Gothamist … Continue reading Fellow nerds, please read→
Reagan and I were able to have several great visits with Piper over the extended weekend. She has been doing great. There have been a few days that she wasn’t super keen on idea of protracted Trache collar stints, but for the most part, she has still been on Trache collar for several hours per … Continue reading PJ update→
Piper has already had a great new year. Yesterday, the Hopsons came with us to visit Piper. Apparently Piper was in the mood to show off. Reagan positioned her in a sitting up position and she was able to hold herself up for almost a minute. Check Reagan’s blob for the video. She was in … Continue reading Piper’s new year→
This is the only picture that I took on New Year’s eve. It is a shot of our block, as I was heading downtown for the evening’s festivities.

We had a freaking awesome time with Piper on Christmas morning. She got so many new toys, she doesn’t even know what to do with herself. I’ll get into that more, later.

Reagan started making some sugar cookies and realized that we didn’t have a star shaped cookie cutter. Like most people, we have a roll of aluminum flashing under our sink from … Continue reading Christmas Eve Cookies→
