Michele decided to give Cohen and Tristan what they wanted today: mohawk haircuts. Keegan calls them punk haircuts. Here are photos from the haircutting session. Don’t they look cute?

This weekend we’ve had our share of fun and games. Yesterday the weather was cool and rainy but today it was perfect: sunny and in the high 60s. In addition to getting another van, which was exciting enough on its own, we made a trip to the Chicago Botanic Garden along with [...]

Check out this video of Cohen with his cape on, riding his scooter down the hill a little ways. I love the leg action in particular.

Today Cohen turns four. As usual it seems that time has flown by and our baby is definitely growing up. Today, as we promised him long ago, we took him to Build-A-Bear to pick out his very own stuffed animal. He picked out the groundhog and decided to name him Fire (with a nickname, ‘Trey’). [...]

I’m a big Zotero fan.  Anyone who has access to the Firefox web browser and needs or wants to keep track of bibliographies, websites, and other material used for research should use it instead of the bloated, overly expensive, difficult to use commercial citation managers such as Reference Manager, RefWorks, ProCite, and the like.  Zotero [...]

I’ve been watching a [...]
