I note with interest Susan Hunt Stevens’ new blog over at BoMoms: Practically Green. Susan is doing tons of things to really live green at her new home in Newton. She’s writing about what it’s like to live on the edge of these new technologies and mindsets.

She’s gone far further than we have, although we are trying to green as we go (Grawgo) — installing the compact fluorescents, upgrading the furnace, buying a reasonably fuel-efficient car.

I look forward to reading more about how she’s doing it.

Sadie had a lot of fun in Grandmama’s back yard on Saturday. Watch the video.

Whatcha gonna do when Lucy-mania runs wild on you?

Do you see this sleeper I’ve nearly outgrown? It’s labeled 3-6 months. I am seven weeks old. Obey me, or I shall unleash my butterfly hordes.

Lucy’s coming along well. She’s still not used to having Daddy continually snapping pictures of her, though.

Eventually, she gets used to it, and tries to humor me with a little smile.

Lucy heard a lot of Project Runway in the womb, and she is starting to become a bit more discerning about her fashion choices. She fell in love with this hat.

She’s learning how to play with her big sister. Mostly, she plays by sitting in the boppy and watching Sadie demonstrate the toys.

Mostly, Lucy eats. I have never seen a baby who eats this much. Here is she, politely telling me that she would like the bottle over there on the shelf. Now, please.

Bring me four ounces of milk every ten minutes until I pass out. Then every fifteen minutes.

Sadie had a lot of fun at Grandmama’s house this morning. She got to play out in the garden, saying hello to the frogs.

After lunch, we went inside. Sadie kicked the kitty out of the kitty condo. She had more important things to do with it.

We all hope to go back soon. All of us except the kitty, of course.

After three years, I’m moving on from Boston.com. My last day will be next Thursday. It’s been a great ride, and I think that we’re doing some really interesting things with the site, but it’s time for me to go back to the startup world.

I’m starting up a new project in June. It’s in stealth-mode right now — code for “I haven’t written it yet.” I should have something to unveil later this fall.

In the meantime, I hope to be able to write in this blog (and a new one I’m starting) for more often. My writing skills have atrophied so much that I can only write in bullet points now. It’s time to fix that.

Sadie likes her slide.

If you can’t play it from this page, click through to the original on YouTube.

With a two-year-old and a newborn, I knew that I’d need to invest in a swingset for the backyard. So, a couple of weeks ago, I went to Walpole Woodworkers and ordered one. It arrived early last week, and this is the first weekend Sadie’s been able to enjoy it. It’s safe to say that she is a fan.

When we run out of the backdoor and down the stairs from the deck, she always heads first to the swings. “Put me on the swing, Daddy.”

“Pull me high, Daddy.”

“Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee.”

Sadie gets some good height.

After hours of swinging, Sadie likes to cap it off with a quick run or two down the slide. She doesn’t go down headfirst like her cousin Peter, but she gets some pretty good velocity.

I have a feeling we’ll be spending a lot of time out in the backyard this summer (and likely for the next ten summers or so).

Lucy is five-weeks old, so she still doesn’t have the greatest of head control. She loves spending some time just chilling in the boppy.

She finds it very zen.

Lucy spends a lot of time with her mouth open. What happens when everyone does their Lucy impression for the webcam?

As you’d imagine, the last few weeks have been pretty busy. At some point, I’ll pull together a coherent set of pictures and video, but for now, here’s a quickly shot this morning of Lucy, Sadie and me. Thank goodness for the webcam on the kitchen laptop.
