Fortneyfied!: The Cat Came Back... from Fresno
http://fortneys.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-cat-came-back-from-fresno.html
Thursday, March 7, 2013. The Cat Came Back. from Fresno. From 2004 to 2009 we were a two cat household. After Finn was born our younger cat, Murray, wasn't happy, and generally demonstrated it by peeing on lots of things outside the litter box (including, on two memorable occasions, Jonathan and me). I wrote about it here. Among other places. For the last few years we've been supporting his upkeep at Cat House on the Kings. 1) Kennel in the garage. We built him a fenced in area inside our garage, so he'd...

Fortneyfied!: October 2012
http://fortneys.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. Back to the Pumpkin Farm. Yesterday afternoon (after grocery shopping, laundry, swimming lessons.) we headed up the coast to Half Moon Bay on our annual pumpkin farm. Up at the pumpkin farm, the first order of business is always the 2 acre hay maze. We've been doing this most years since 2005, even if I was 8 1/2 months pregnant. After the maze we all picked out our pumpkins - and took the obligatory pictures-of-boy(s)-in-field-of-pumpkins. It's a family favorite. There are d...

Fortneyfied!: September 2012
http://fortneys.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 2, 2012. Why we didn't blog in August. Here is our list of excuses, in chronological order, as best as we can reconstruct from last month's calendar, e-mail, and Facebook. Aug 1: What, I have 30 more days left. Aug 2: 29 more days. What's the big deal? Aug 3: Went to Shakespeare Santa Cruz's Twelfth Night. Aug 4: Drove to San Rafael to spend the weekend with friends. Aug 5: Drove home from San Rafael. Aug 6: Monday. You can't blog on a Monday. Aug 13: Monday again. Aug 17: Drove to Iowa.

Fortneyfied!: December 2012
http://fortneys.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 17, 2012. Merry 2012, Happy 2013. This is our second annual holiday blog update. We are delighted to report that almost nothing has changed since last year. We're all living in the same house, working at the same jobs or attending the same preschool (watching the same movies, eating the same foods, reading some of the same books.). For fun family roadtrips. For the vibrant and robust health of our kids, even when it means they exhaust us. For living somewhere beautiful and friendly.

Fortneyfied!: Cats, carousels, and whiny NOs
http://fortneys.blogspot.com/2009/05/cats-carousels-and-whiny-nos.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. Cats, carousels, and whiny NOs. We are officially a one cat household. Murray lives here. Now It's not ideal, but it's the best we could do after more than a year of trying to deal with his issues. I hope he likes it. I know Mona enjoys having access to the whole house again. Last Sunday we went to Vasona/Oak Meadow Park. Here in Los Gatos, and Finn rode the carousel. Built for the 1915 Panama Pacific Exhibition! Going down the slide, without help. More photos at Flickr.

Fortneyfied!: Fortney Christmas/solstice/etc. letter 2011
http://fortneys.blogspot.com/2011/12/fortney-christmassolsticeetc-letter.html
Sunday, December 18, 2011. Fortney Christmas/solstice/etc. letter 2011. If you want a normal Christmas letter, you can go read this first. All that is true of us. Graham insists on wearing sweatpants nearly every day. Or, as he calls them, "sofpants.". Jonathan got to go golfing this month. He shot a 40 on a par 30. It's been so long since he's golfed at home with his own clubs that we cannot figure out how long it's been (and we tried very hard for multiple minutes). Finn knows his right from his left, ...

Fortneyfied!: June 2012
http://fortneys.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 14, 2012. Next Venus Transit is in 2117! Went so well that we decided to view the transit of Venus. This time there was an excellent view right in town, so we headed to the west side of campus to take in the multi-hour event. Venus transits were first predicted by Kepler (the man) and viewed in 1639. Here is the best pic that I got through a telescope using only my camera phone. The white balance appeared to be confused. Finn looked through 3 different telescopes. He was quite excited.

Fortneyfied!: The Outdoorsy boys
http://fortneys.blogspot.com/2009/03/outdoorsy-boys.html
Sunday, March 15, 2009. If you know anything about our cats, you'll know that we've had terrible troubles with Murray peeing inappropriately around the house for about a year now. I wouldn't wish this problem and its associated stress on anyone. There have been many visits to the vet, many products have been purchased and used around the house (happy cat scent diffusers, anyone? He sounds like he's got a Boston accent. (Murr! And he's started liking hats! March 17, 2009 at 8:40 AM. Yep, he's up to 11 now!

Fortneyfied!: July 2012
http://fortneys.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2012. As We Like It. Tomorrow is the 4th of July, which may end up being Graham's favorite holiday after Christmas. He is quite adept at spotting American flags, telling us he sees them, and that they are there "Because our country is America! Yes, I used two exclamation points on purpose. He's really into it. In our neighborhood there is a July 4th bike parade, which Finn had a blast at last year, so we'll doing that again. FANNN-TASTIC" "Do I get a fruit snack? Are you so happy? This i...
