The Baby Shutdown Protocol

Linus is going through a tough spot right now. He’s a little more fussy, a little more clingy than usual. Nothing big, just a normal spot in a baby’s life.…

The Nap

I just put Linus down for his nap. Yen is still sleeping, so the Tran men are snuggled up together. By the way, in case you’re curious: Linus is only…

Super Cha

It’s been four weeks since I returned to work. The first week was pretty rough, though I’m proud to say I only had to run up to the mothers’ room…

Yen, age 10

Birding

I’ve got a lot of photos to post once I get back home after Christmas of birds—which probably bores you to tears by now. I will try to exercise some…

Hawk Feast

Now you’re going to learn that my birdwatching isn’t all about feeding sunflower seeds to delicate little chickadees. No, it is the Call of the Wild that sends me out,…
