earthquake

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: April 18, 2008

A moderate earthquake near West Salem, IL, woke us up this morning at 4:30 CST. We might’ve slept through it had it not been for some glasses rattling and a delayed recognition of what we were experiencing. We live on the 3rd floor of a 7 story brick and steel building in downtown, St. Louis, [...]

Live on Yahoo!

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: February 8, 2008

So, Yahoo released their community video site, and I figured that since I’ve got the camera on the mac (and am *so* incredibly fascinating) I could share a bit of that with you! If I’ve got it turned on (and their server isn’t overloaded again), you should see me here. If I’m connected, you can [...]

What we’re up to

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: February 1, 2008

Six Week Checkup

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: December 23, 2007

I’m just checking in, it’s been a little while since I’ve said “hi.” Kelly’s been home with Charlotte since birth, I took off work that first week, and we’ve apparently been parents for about six months. Time has passed in a way that I can’t measurably define it – I’d believe you equally if you [...]

Sensing a theme

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: November 6, 2007

If you happened upon this site around the time of posting, you’d notice it appears to contain little more than posts on waiting for the birth of my child. This adequately represents the state of my brain as well. We’ve even already had a trip to the hospital and back. Unlike lastnight, I’m going to [...]

Walkin’ it out, yo

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: November 3, 2007

This morning we decided to walk a bit for our daily caffeine, and to see if we could help shake Charlotte out. We’re running out of days before the scheduled labor induction, and we’re both already anxious. We just planned on going to Starbucks for energy, but ended up also stopping at infuz to chat [...]
