Our new home

After six long years, numerous rejected offers, and us nearly throwing in the towel on trying to find a home for ourselves in the Bay Area, the Reese family finally purchased a new home. Over the past six years Arin...
This Beautiful Proton Dance

Kids can keep you up all night but it's all worth it. Domestic animals give love freely to the least deserving, but their lives are short and their ends are often brutal. And it's worth it. It is all...
Thank God for Health Insurance Reform

One of the things sadly and remarkably absent from this year's long debate over the push to reform our nation's health care system are the personal stories that help people understand just how important this change is, and the kind...
Wintery Yosemite

This past weekend, we packed up the car and headed to Yosemite for a long weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. The weather was less than ideal most of the time we were there: rain or frozen rain, and a...
Seven Years

To my beautiful wife, who after seven years still likes to dance with me. I love you!...
Blast from the past: my class photo from kindergarden

What I remember most from kindergarden: it was the year Empire Strikes Back came out. One's popularity at the time was roughly proportional to the number of times you had seen the film, compensated by how well you could...
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Harper and Daisy sitting on Santa's lap for the first time together. Not pictured here: Arin crying off camera. The whole experience was priceless....
Say "Hello" to Daisy Amelia Hailey Reese

In a way I am never to forget, our newest addition, Daisy Amelia Hailey Reese, was brought into the world at 5:16am on June 26, 2009. She was 7lbs, 10oz and 20.5 inches long. Labor was a mere 45...
MOONSHOT

On a recent trip to Chicago I stopped by a non-local mega-bookstore to look for a last minute gift for Harper as is required on any business trip that takes me away from Harper for more than 48 hours. And...
Three!? Are you serious?

My kid turned three this week. Three. One, two, three. It blows my mind every time I say it. Harper blowing out his birthday candle on his birthday cupcake. He ate it so fast he threw up. That's love my...
Bees in my Frick'n House!

Last week Arin and I noticed on our way to the Farmer's market that a small group of bees were loitering about the roof of our porch. We didn't think much of it and resolved that we would check with...
It looks like Harper is going to have a...

Baby Sister!!!...
How do you spell relief?

I just learned that a part of the economic recovery plan that Obama is set to sign into law on President's Day includes a COBRA subsidy for those who have gotten laid off during this recession. The legislation would provide...
Racing with Best Friends @ LHS

Harper had a great time today at Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science. But as truly great as the Waterworks exhibit was, he had the most fun racing with his girlfriends Milan and Sophie....
Missing each other already

Harper had so much fun with cousin Delia this week in Austin. Word has it that Delia is already upset that Harper will soon be going to the airport, and I anticipate that when we return home Harper will...
Thankful.
Treasure trove of World War II film footage

An amazing collection of artifacts from World War II was discovered by the grandsons of a veteran from that War. Their grandfather was a photographer for the war effort documenting the preparation for and aftermath of D-Day. The film canisters...
Round-up for November 7, 2008

This week has been replete with amazing tidbits, events and milestones: From the stating-the-obvious department: Obama was elected president. Hallelujah. Obama was elected with the largest mandate since FDR. Source: Slate Culture Gabfest, Wow Edition. Arin blogged about Family Guy....
Running on a platform of: "Milk and 'Groppies' for All!"

May I give Hat tip to Poo-Pah please?...
For Evan and Owen

There was thing about becoming a parent I was completely unprepared for: the feeling you get when you hear of tragedy that befalls another parent or their children. Before becoming a parent, I would hear such news, have my moment...
Living the Dream

There are few people I respect more on this planet than my cousin Ford. Ford is a person who, for as long as I have known him, has been devoted to helping other people. There are few people I know...
Your Daily Kid

While on a recent trip to New York, my wife helped to lessen the distance between me, her and Harper by having Harper, our very own "Seasame Street Bureau Chief" go on assignment to report on his day-to-day activities. I...
Contributing Factors to a Mortgage Crisis

As I sit in the sidelines of the Bay Area Real Estate market, beleaguered, exhausted and frustrated by the fact that even when the market turns to shit, Arin and I still can't seem to afford a house, I watch...
Powered by Perl

About eight months ago when Harper was born I got a surprise package in the mail from a friend, and ever since I have been waiting for the chance for Harper to be big enough to wear it. He...
Back from Shaver Lake

The planners of NaBloPoMo did not exercise very much fore-thought when picking their month - I mean if most people are indeed lucky, they will be nowhere near an Internet connection over the Thanksgiving weekend - as I was for...
Welcome to WalkerWatch

Two months ago I learned that two of my most favorite people, and two people that for a long time have been advocates and leaders in our neighborhood and block, would be moving. Not far, but far enough. They approached...
Grandparents: bookmark this!

Family and grandparents, and anyone else anxiously following news about Little Harper, you can find all the latest photos of the family in majordojo's photo albums....
OMG Harper!

Harper Ford Reese, 7lbs 6oz, 20 inches, DOB: April 22nd, 2006, 12:38am. Mom and baby are both beautiful....
Arin's got a whole new blog

We started the project a while ago, but we are currently in a rush to get all our little projects finished before the Bug's arrival (scheduled May 9th, but I am rooting for a Cinco de Mayo baby) - expecting...
