• Mac 'n' Cheese

  So I was going to post a photo of my RVX 42 s with the Christmas tree in the foreground, to you know, keep it "Klipsch-y," but while skimming through my photos, I found this, which was snapped only to test the lighting in the room. I feel compelled... Posted Dec 09 2008, 03:18 PM by Amy Unger with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Parenthood, Daily Photo

• Genetics

  It amazes me how traits can get passed down from generation to generation, virtually unchanged. Years ago, my mom told me that she believes I have an "old soul." At the time I wasn't sure what she meant, but I think I understand now. It's... Posted Nov 20 2008, 09:52 AM by Amy Unger with | with 7 comment(s) Filed under: Parenthood

• Thomas the Tank Engine

  Daily Photo Some of you were curious what the little feller dressed as last week, so here you go. He waffled between Thomas and Batman, so I think next year will see the end of the toddler-themed costumes. Sigh. It all goes so fast, doesn't it?

• Leaves

  This weekend was a very trying one for me as a parent. Steven is becoming increasingly willful (and I use "willful" as a way to disguise outright defiance), and every clever parenting tactic seems to fail. He vehementally insists on performing...

• Future Football Hall of Famers, + One Engineer

  Daily Photo In celebration of being knee-deep in football season, and the weather finally feeling like football season, I am posting this photo of Steven with his cousins from our annual camping trip in Ohio over the weekend. Although he couldn't... Posted Oct 06 2008, 03:44 PM by Amy Unger with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Parenthood, Daily Photo

• Signs of Fall

  Yesterday I flipped my own personal calendar to another year, one that is looming ever so much closer to the big 4-0. It was a good day...cake, badminton, football on the tele (good thing I'm not a Colts fan), and we couldn't have asked for nicer...

• The Makings of a Practical Jokester, or Embarrassing Toddler Moments, Part IV

  I haven't had an installment of my less-than-favorite Steven moments in a while, but not because they are lacking. Oh no. Like the other day when I took him to get new shoes... I finally found some tennis shoes with yellow in them, so I rounded him... Posted Sep 08 2008, 04:09 PM by Amy Unger with | with 3 comment(s) Filed under: Parenthood

• 4 Years Old Today

  Weekend Photo Happy Birthday, Steven! I certainly remember where I was 4 years ago today. Ugh. Posted Aug 31 2008, 03:49 PM by Amy Unger with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Parenthood, weekend

• Moonlighting

  Daily Photo The Friday before long holiday weekends is always a bit strange at Klipsch. Seems as though half the people are gone, while the other half wander around in a daze wondering why they are here. I happen to be one of those in a daze, so I'm...

• The Yellow Kid

  Daily Photo Yes, Crocs are all the rage, and yes, I try to avoid being a conformist...especially when the current "rage" is this weird looking. But Steven has longed for these shoes since the beginning of the summer, and he finally wore me down...

• Public Service Reminder #2, or "Does your kid live at the bottom of the ocean?"

  Daily Photo It's an oldie but a goodie: Wear sunscreen . Especially if you have skin like this. And no, I didn't use a flash. He's just that see-through. Posted Aug 18 2008, 09:25 AM by Amy Unger with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Parenthood, Daily Photo

• The Indiana State Fair

  Daily Photo Yesterday was an unbelievably gorgeous day in the corn-belt, which is amazing considering it is mid-August, so we hopped the fair train and headed to the Indiana State Fair to take full advantage of the lack of humidity. I've taken Steven... Posted Aug 11 2008, 10:49 AM by Amy Unger with | with 3 comment(s) Filed under: Parenthood, Daily Photo, Indiana

• Should reprimand. Would rather give high-five.

  Ok, so I've had more than my fair share of traffic tickets. It's not something I'm proud of. From disregarding a stop sign to not wearing a seat belt; from illegal left-hand turns to just plain speeding, I've had a ticket in every region...

• One of Many Lessons I've Learned in 4 Years

  Daily Photo Steven got his first mosquito bite over the weekend. Yes, he's almost 4, and he's never been bitten by a mosquito. I have no idea how he managed it. Of course, the welt is squarely on the boniest part of his elbow, possibly the worst... Posted Jul 15 2008, 08:34 AM by Amy Unger with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Parenthood, Daily Photo

• Night and Day

  Daily Photo I'm not sure where the term "terrible twos'" came from. Steven was an absolute angel right up until about mid-way into his threes. Now that he's two months away from his fours, we are in a full-blown attitude meltdown... Posted Jun 26 2008, 10:03 AM by Amy Unger with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: Parenthood, Daily Photo
