Dwink Box Holder


Dwink-Juice-Box-Holder

Our daughter tends to squeeze her juice boxes after we hand them to her.  (With the straw already inserted.)  This usually causes juice to be squirted everywhere. 


The Dwink Box Holder is a cup that holds a juice box and should help prevent these types of spills.

San Jose Grand Prix


My father-in-law and I took the two older kids to the San Jose Grand Prix on Saturday.  We had a great time.  We saw one of the Champ Car qualifying races, and a Formula BMW race.


The thing that the kids liked watching the most was the Mini Grand Prix with the processional remote control race cars.

Time off


I have had the luxury to take this week off from work.  We didn't have any travel plans, and the two older kids had school, so I have spent the week with my wife and the little one.


I have enjoyed this time a lot.  Feeding and holding the little one, during the day is wonderful, in addition to just when she is going to sleep at night.  Also being able to spend time with my wife, without being interrupted by the kids has been incredible.


My wife has been great putting up with me being around and screwing up the usual schedule. :)

Watermelon - the latest earworm


I have had an earworm for a while now. I have had song Watermelon, by Billy Jonas, in my head for about a week.  I usually hear it when it is played on XM Kids when driving the kids around.  Billy Jonas is the singer songwriter that sings "What Kind of Cat Are you?", which was also got stuck in my head.


I figured that I would share the songs, to spread the love.

Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor


Babymonitor We've gone through several baby monitors.  The ones that we had with our two older kids always got a lot of interference, or tended to pick up our neighbors cordless phone conversations.  The interference got so bad that we usually turned the volume down all the way.


The Fisher Price Private Connection monitor is the best baby monitor that we have had.  We hain't had any problems with interference.  Also, the reception has been great even through multiple floors.
