Trader Joe's and snow.

Greetings family and friends. Not much to report on today. Nico went to work as usual. Ronin and I took a brief jaunt out into public, but really didn’t do much.

I did go to Trader Joe’s tonight for a few items. I love Trader Joe’s, it’s mostly organic and natural foods at discount prices. No frills and no fancy extras, just the basics. If you have one near you I highly recommend it. They have these mini peanut butter cups that we are addicted to. Oh and we’re getting fat. Sigh. We’re going to have to give up those mini pb cups. The also have this stuff called Chimichuri and it's a frozen bag of cilatro-y rice goodness. Try it, you'll like it.

Once the weather warms up, we plan to start working in our yard and taking regular walks. Right now it’s just too cold and miserable. And we are expecting more snow tonight. Ugh.

I also have a spiffy new haircut. I'll have to snap a picture of myself. Nico goes in for his haircut tomorrow. He really needs it. :)

Cranky babies and autocross

All is well here in the frigid north. Our high today was 32, but it was nice and sunny.

Ronin was a little cranky all day and he didn’t nap very good for me. I imagine that he is growing. New moms are supposed to use “growth spurt” to explain all questionable behavior, right?

I’m reading a book called “Babywise”. It was recommended by our doctor. It’s supposed to help with the non-sleeping issue. Last night he got up 4 times in the night. Needless to say, I’m virtually a zombie.

Nico’s thinking of turning the Scirocco into a autocross car if everything stays kosher at work. I’ll post more on that as I learn about it.

Drop me a line, I would love to hear from all of our out of town family and friends.

Happy Anniversary

I almost forgot... Happy Anniversary to Nico and I.
We have been married 6 years today.

Summer '06

Big city, not so big news.

We are enjoying living in a big city again, but could live without the frigid Michigan winter. This week the snow finally melted only to have it snow 2 inches overnight. I’m so sick of snow!!!

Nico is a little concerned about his job, but we’ll just have to wait and see. But I’m starting to wonder, who isn’t concerned about their job these days. Worse case scenario, I’ll start looking for a job. Right now I’m enjoying being at home with Ronin.

I joined the MOM’s Club of Royal Oak. It’s a peer support group for stay-at-home moms. I’ve already met several nice women. They have play dates and outing for the kids, even for infants like Ronin.

Our house is cute, but it needs some work. The basement needs to be finished. We’re going to wait until after Nico’s 1 year anniversary before we start any major projects.

Ronin is awesome. He is such a good baby. Nico’s a great dad. He changes diapers and watches him so I can occasionally escape.

I’ll have to write more later, tonight is “bath night”.

Enjoy the pictures,

Ronin, 2 months.

We had a baby!

All is well here. Sorry it has taken us so long to post. I guess that most of you know that in October we had a baby. Ronin Prelogar was born October 24th at 6:54 p.m. He weighted 7lbs and 13 oz. He was 20 inches long. We were induced because of my gestational diabetes. Here is a picture of me right before we left for the hospital.

I have to say, Nico was really disappointed he couldn’t speed to the hospital with the excuse that “my wife is in labor.”

Here we are right after the delivery.


Here’s Ronin about 20 minutes after birth.

Coming soon...

Updates on us and the big move coming soon.
