I live in NYC. I work for Vimeo. I like to cook. My wife likes sprinkles. I have a new(ish) daughter. Her name is Chloe. We don't know if she likes sprinkles yet.
Come on that has to be Photoshopped.

Closeups please.
Here’s a couple of them, I posted the tree topper this morning here
I’ve still got several other video games and nerdery to do before I declare it complete (I just finished a Link to go with the Octoroks).
This is spectacular.
That’s happened to us twice, just like you described. Teething. Gotta be.He is cutting his second top central incisor - I wonder if that was what did it.
Seriously - I feel like I just ran a marathon - I’m emotionally drained!
Yup. Teething. Not fun. Frozen plain bagel?
I thought it might be a good idea to go ahead and draft out our current campaign platform for everyone to review. We feel as if our candidates for POTUS and VPOTUS are clearly the right women/toddlers for the job. Here are some of the issues we are currently fighting for:
- First and foremost, Big Bird stays. Any attempt to get rid of Big Bird, Sesame Street, or any PBS funding, or any sort of educational funding, will be met with swift action.
- We want more positive female role models and protagonists in media. No more Honey Boo-Boo, no more Jersey Shore, no more Bellas from Twilight.
- We don’t really like “Hail to the Chief.” The “Star Wars Main Theme” is perfectly fine (that one might be our Dads’ idea). A song from “The Backyardigans” or the Sesame Street theme are also good.
- We are pro-nap. We are much better at leading the country when we are well-rested, and much less prone to a temper tantrum that might lead to us bombing Iran.
- Although Vice Presidential Candidate Arwen has been pro-walking for sometime, Presidential Candidate Chloe’s stance has recently changed to pro-walking as well. This is not a flip-flop, merely a natural evolution of her position on this matter.
- Women deserve to make as much as men. Especially the women who feed us and play with us. They are awesome.
- No child is too young to be introduced to Star Wars themed toys.
We would also like to announce that Chloe’s Aunt Valerie has offered to be our official legal counsel.
Finally, never forget the most important thing, and the thing that makes us feel like we are the BEST candidates for the job:
So
Last night was the debate, which, might I add, doesn’t need to even be watched. Simply follow along on the Tumblr dash and you get the best highlights.
Anyway, during the debate last night, Chloe’s dad, Evan (because let’s be honest, that’s just the way it is…I’m Arwen, Greer, and Storie’s dad) reblogged the following from his sister:
I, in turn, sent him an ask box message, and he replied:
Then I had way too much time on my hands this morning and created this:
You can consider this our official announcement. We are creating a Presidential Exploratory Committee, and will begin campaigning after the November election. We figure with a 44 year jump on everyone else, our chances are looking pretty good.
Ok people. Let’s do this.
Dude. All at once?!?! Poor little guy. Also, stock up on wine for mom and dad.Yeah - it’s like the creeping-crud-trifecta! I praised the coffee gods this morning, it is literally what got me through this day.

Schedule up the snot sucker for after a steamy shower. It gets things moving and that seems to really make a difference. Matt used to get the bathroom REALLY steamy and then hold Audrey just outside the water. Good luck!!We’re going to do just that - when I told Pat how the snot sucker worked he said “you’re shitting me right?” Watching him attempt it will be epic.
I wrote an epic post a while back about the snot sucker. It is the most terrifying device on the planet. I refuse to use it. Lindsey does it and it really does help. I can handle poop, pee, vomit and spit-up with ease. But snot - especially via the snot sucker - is where I draw the line.
A very special message to Chloe on her first birthday from Helm’s Deep.
Well this just made our day. BRB Chloe, Linds and I are going to watch this for the 14th time…
Where Once Again The Internet Is Filled With Amazing & Wonderful People
Yesterday was a very cool day. Stacie, Storie and I went to an Excellence in Nursing Tea & Awards ceremony at the hospital where Stacie works. Stacie had been nominated for an Excellence in Nursing Award by her coworkers. She was also recognized in several other categories, including her work on the hospital’s Shared Leadership Counsel. Let’s just say that she’s awesome at what she does, even though she didn’t win this year (the nurse that won in her category has been an RN for 20+ years and works with mentally challenged patients, using art and painting to help them recover…can’t top that).
When we arrived home, there was a very large box sitting by our front door. When we opened it, we saw a lovely little card letting us know that the girls’ wonderful friend Chloe from NYC had sent them some really cool things from giggle.com!
Inside the box was this super cool plush animal bowling set, some animal finger puppets, a radically cool book called Tickle Monster with its own monster claws, and a beautiful new outfit for Storie.
The girls were so thrilled! They, of course, wanted to play with everything right then and there, and also wanted me to read them the new book, which I happily obliged.
(below is a video of me reading the book to the girls as a special “thank you” gift to Chloe…please feel free to skip this if you don’t want to watch me read a children’s book to my kids)
Thanks again, Chloe! And please tell your Mommy and Daddy thank you as well for helping you pick out such super cool stuff! Arwen and Greer can’t wait to meet you someday soon!
Chloe can’t wait to play Tickle Monster with the Helms Deep clan!
Inspired by Chloe
Now all they need….is a singer……
Epic video is epic.
They also need a band name. Considering how much Chloe likes to chew on her drum sticks (and Evan started munching on the guitar at the end) how about “The Chow Hounds”?
evangotlib replied to your photoset: Evan - 4 Months
Oh. Mah. Gawd. Frigging adorable. Also, we have all the same toys.That’s because our kids have awesome taste and plan to rule the internet someday right?
Yes…they will rule ALL THE INTERNETS.
Evan and I are arranging a marriage like a boss! Today Maxi’s gift from Chloe for his first birthday arrived!!
There will be lot of transatlantic calls made from Monday on!
Yay! It arrived! Happy Birthday to the Little Englishman :-)
