Yesterday, Judy "Milk Monster" Shono graciously agreed to give me an impromptu interview. As her father I had a good "in" with her so to speak. Unfortunately she ignored all my questions preferring instead to talk non-stop. While I may not have captured her exact words, I think I did a decent baby translation and captured the gist of what she was ( Read more... )

 I just realized I had these pictures on my phone that I haven't shared with anyone yet.

Last September:

We're in Riyadh again and thought I'd post a couple of pictures I just took of the kids.

Judy in her Judymobile:

 Jenna drew these about a month ago on one of those drawing pad things that you repeatedly erase. Who knows what masterpieces she erased before we had a chance to see?

Some people have been asking me for pictures from the shows I've done, so I thought I might as well recap my experiences with this new hobby that I started a little over a year ago. I apologize in advance for the bad quality of some of the pictures. Believe me when and if I get my hands on any better pictures I'll be sure to post them. If only ( Read more... )

This is the user picture I'm going to use when posting about Jenna or Judy. I know it's a picture of Judy so it's not exactly fair but hopefully Jenna's jealousy will be counterbalanced by Judy's embarrasment. I figure that if at the end of the day I do equal damage to my kids psyche then that's probably good parenting.

You know, when I first ( Read more... )

Since we brought Judy home I haven't woken up to take care of her once. I would help out during the day of course but during nights it was basically Dimah. Her mom helped out the first night but that's it. The reason I bring this up is that for the last couple of nights I've started staying up until 5 or 6am and taking care of Judy the whole night ( Read more... )

Dimah and Judy came home yesterday so it's been pretty busy around here. I can't believe we've got two baby girls now! It still seems so unreal since it happened much earlier than expected. So many funny moments to share and things to say but I just don't have time right now. Things will get into a rhythm soon enough and I'll post something with ( Read more... )

Judy was born at 8:30pm AST on Thursday, July 16, 2009 about a month earlier than her due date. Dimah & Judy are doing just fine for which I am so very thankful. It's been a crazy few days since Dimah called me during my lunch break on Monday and said those expected and yet always surprising words "It's Time."

I won't go through all the medical ( Read more... )
