9 Months and Counting...
This is my first time really blogging. Ron is usually the one who is full of words. I’m more of a silent blogger. I think that is why our marriage has lasted so long, LOL! So, this past Tuesday was Natasha’s (Cita, Nat, Munch, Chunkers, Fuzzworth) 9 month birthday. It is very hard to believe...
Some Quick Phone Photos of Natasha...
Here are some photos I took with the phone while out strolling. In the heat. Like she likes it. [View with PicLens] ...
I Have a Toof....
No matter how hot it is outside, that’s where Nat wants to be. She’s a true Arizona girl. So when the sun dips below the Palo Verdes on the West end of the yard, we venture out and sit in the grass. She with her sippy cup, and me with mine. We just sit, sometimes stand, and look around and...
Catching Up With Natasha (And Budders)...
Been awhile since we’ve posted anything and Natasha is now coming up on 8 months. The food still seems to be working; especially since Kari makes almost everything Nat eats. We posted about it in more detail over on GrowUpCool.com, which is our new blog for thoughts on small humans. Anyway, here...
Natasha Update | Stuff From Over the Las...
Some images and video to catch up on Natasha’s progress (read: eating). Current stats: Age: 5 months Head: huge Height: tall Weight: ~17lbs [View with PicLens] ...
Dinner with the Flammily | 2.28.2010...
As usual, dinner with Papa and Mimi does not disappoint. Having Gina and Art in town is a huge bonus. The spread was poached salmon, salad niçoise and Steve’s accidentally fried shrimp and scallop combo. And we brought our double-rummed tiramisu experiment. Even the boozers in the audience think...
Natasha’s New Orbit G2: In The Wil...
Normally, we don’t like to mix little artika work stuff onto Barrystuff, but yesterday we had a chance to take Natasha over to the Biltmore to check out a possible 2nd store location. Just happened that our Orbit G2 Demo strollers arrived so we got to take Nat out in fresh style. As cute as a baby...
nom nom nom… Erin’s Hatch Green ...
Our friend Erin makes these amazing Santa Fe-style Hatch Green Chile Burros. We happily offer our kitchen whenever she needs to make a big batch. The fee is however many burros we can scrounge off her. She cooks like we do, mostly by feel. So here is a rough outline of the recipe. See the pics below...
A Typical Naturday Afternoon | Bistro Br...
(Yeah, right. If we didn’t get into retail. Whose great idea was that?) We’re venturing out with Little Munch more and more. Testing the waters in public venues. We’ve already been to Bar Bianco and Sue says the Pizzeria is happy to have her :) Today was brunch at Petite Maison in Old...
Current Stats | 01-08-2010...
Nat just had her 2 month checkup. Looking good. We opted to slow down the vaccine schedule, otherwise she would have gotten like 6 shots all in one session. Not that we’re letting some dopey comedian’s wife handle our healthcare decisions, but this way if she has a reaction, we can narrow...
Happy 2010! First Meal of the New Year: ...
Kari had the great idea of making Croques Monsieur/Madames for dinner on NYE. But after we ate our apps (roasted shrimp and king crab legs and tasso & gouda that the Oberheims brought over) we were full. So the Croques became our first breakfast of 2010 :) Pretty straightforward except we made up...
The Food Appears To Be Working...
I won’t bore you with details, but she’s on both boob and formula. Born at 6lbs, well over 9lbs now, at 6 weeks. She is full on awesome and I can’t wait to ground her for the first time. [View with PicLens] ...
Natasha Comes Home...
After spending as much time at the birthing center as Blue Cross would allow, we headed home with Nat. The extra day & night we spent with the awesome staff at Osborn (especially Lynn and Bonnie! and Drs Moon & Wendy) gave us the confidence we needed as first time parents. Between birthing classes,...Ron, Kari and Natasha live near Old Town Scottsdale with our dog, Budders. We pretty much like it here. We also own and operate little artika, our stores that sell cool stuff for small humans.
