The polls are closed in the Third Biennial (!) Loy Baby Pool. The most popular birth date predictions are: July 4 (6), July 7 (6), July 1 (5), July 3 (5) and July 12 (4). Only 2 people picked the actual due date, July 8. Also, although July 1, 3 and 4 were all very popular predictions, nobody picked July… Read more »
We’ve got 26 entries in the Third Loy Baby Pool, with the earliest prediction — Chris “Doc” Evans, who predicted a birth this Saturday at 9:45 PM — approaching fast. I can’t help but notice, however, a surprising dearth of entries on either the baby’s actual due date (July 8) or the day after (July 9). Between AMLTrojan’s entry (7/7/11,… Read more »

Specifically, on July 8 — the very same date that Loyacita was due back in 2009 (though she was born five days late). We don’t… Read more »
Tomorrow is Loyette’s third birthday, and we’re hosting a “Noon Year’s Eve”-themed birthday party for her. Becky (who is awesome) is doing the vast bulk of the planning, preparation and house-cleaning (did I mention Becky is awesome?), but she tasked me with devising a way to have a “balloon drop” at noon. So last night, after Becky blew up several… Read more »
This should probably be a regular feature. Yesterday, while holding and playing with Becky’s iPhone: “Daddy, I’m tweeting, just like you tweet.” Today: “Mommy, we might have to bring Ralphie [her stuffed buffalo] and the manatee and your teddy bear downstairs, to keep the Grinch away.” Both quotes are from Loyette, obviously. Although Loyacita is starting to get old enough,… Read more »
