Yes, we’re still alive here at Casa Farkas. I’ve just been so busy with travel, the end of the semester at both of my jobs (which means lots of paper and project grading for the class I teach) and just having fun with my two favorite guys!
Reed celebrated his birthday in Chicago. We spent almost [...]

Yesterday marked the 7-year anniversary of our first date.
It is hard to believe that Meredith and I have been together that long.
But looking back, we’ve been through a great deal together in that time, both personally and professionally –
We got married; Meredith switched careers and wrote a book; my company moved into fields [...]

We had an exciting weekend!
Meredith’s brother Scott and his fiance Miriam came up to visit. It was great seeing Scott again and nice to finally meet Miriam.
They make a cute couple, and boy, Reed went nuts over them. He immediately jumped into their arms and started playing with them like they were long, [...]

Today is Reed’s 9-month birthday!
Since the last time meredith updated this blog, Reed has crossed a whole bunch of milestones.
He’s learned to crawl properly, a skill he’s using to maximal effect.
He’s also learned to then stand up well (with help), and pull up on just about any object in the house. [...]

Since my last post, Reed experienced his very first Thanksgiving. It was just the three of us since we didn’t want to travel with H1N1 being so widespread and Reed only having had one of his two needed H1N1 boosters. We had a rather nontraditional Thanksgiving with steak instead of turkey, but we did have [...]

I’ve been a mother now for three months (or 12, if you count the 9 months I carried Reed around), but I don’t think I truly felt like “a mom” until Thursday, July 9th. That was the day of the fall.
Reed, Adam and I had gotten to Chicago a few hours earlier. It was a [...]

Reed just had his 3 month birthday, I can’t believe how quickly time is passing.  It is a cliche, but I really am having a hard time remembering what life was like before him! (Though that may have something to do with sleep deprivation.)
Meredith and I are lucky; not only is he healthy, but Reed [...]

Typing with one hand here (story of my life these days…)
Reed turned two months old today! We celebrated with his first hike in the woods, which he mostly slept through in his Ergo carrier. Part of me can’t believe he is already this old while another part feels like I’ve known him forever. The past [...]

We’ve been way too busy enjoying Spring and entertaining visitors to post to the blog, but here’s a little movie (taken with my crappy camera) to make up for our lack of updates:

I know Adam’s taken other movies with our video camera, and hopefully he’ll upload them soon as well. And, as always, lots [...]
