Today was my first Father’s Day, ushered in with the decadent pleasure of sleeping in until it was nearly time to go to Church.  My darling daughter has somehow acquired the ability to purchase a card and write quite legibly at the ripe old age of nearly three-months so I got a really nice Father’s […]

It has been an eventful weekend at the Dalcher household.  On Saturday, I picked up La Mar’s Donuts for breakfast after stopping at Home Depot to get some guitar-building supplies.  I spent most of the afternoon in the garage, sanding away at some leftover cocobolo binding to make enough sawdust to create a wood filler.  […]

Tonight we were treated to a visit from the one, the only Dave Vernon.  He was out here on business and informed me beforehand that he wanted to arrange a “few hours where he could kidnap Eve and take her picture.”  This involved him coming to the house and treating Eve to a baby paparazzi […]

Eve’s been smiling off and on for the last few days, but this afternoon we were able to catch it on film.  She’s been acting a little differently the last few days… instead of wanting to be cuddled all the time she’s ok with just sitting propped up on my lap or in her carseat.  […]

Today was a pretty average day at work… we had a somewhat thorny design problem to work out and after that my day was punctuated with pop-ins.  Normally this gets annoying after awhile, but it helped me get refreshed on a bunch of different topics and it made the day go by quickly.  The 80+ […]

Today marked Tasha’s first Mother’s Day, and we were pretty busy!  Things started off with 9:30 am Church followed by breakfast at Denny’s (Tasha’s choice).  Surprisingly, it wasn’t as busy in there as we expected so we got right in.  After that, it was back to the house for a bit and then back to […]

Tonight was the last Jam Night at Walton Manor for awhile.  Paul and Kara are two weeks away from welcoming their own bundle of joy into the world, but that didn’t keep us from getting together and playing some music.  I was pleasantly surprised that Tasha wanted to come along, so the family piled into […]

We had a doctor’s check-up for Tasha (everything’s fine!) and after that she asked to have the evening to get some shopping done and spend a little non-baby time.  So Eve and I were left to fend for ourselves for a few hours tonight.  She had a bottle and then quickly conked out, sleeping in […]

Today was an interesting day at the office.  I knew that my day was going to get punctuated by Eve’s one-month check up, so I went to the office with the intent of having two productive segments of my day and it worked out very well.  I got a bug fixed before a meeting, fostered […]

Today was Eve’s first Easter!  We had a rushed morning getting her all dressed and ready for Church, and after Mass we headed over to our friend Teague’s house to share Easter lunch.  They had a HUGE spread… turkey, ham, four different potato dishes, and tons of desserts.  I ate way too much and much […]
