We may not have been the team with the most members in attendance this past Sunday and we may not have raised the most moolah for the cause but we were the Walk-wide leader in sporting the coolest t-shirts. And we had the cutest baby there, by far.
The most majorist of props to my lifelong [...]

Just a few things to keep in mind as you watch the interview:
The 40 minutes we waited in place on the live set before our interview must have felt like 40 years to Fehmeen (who had the 17 month-old perpetual motion machine on her lap almost the entire time).
During that time, Emma gave high-fives to [...]
Five Days in Michigan

Hey everyone. Long time no post. Completely my bad. You see, after our five day vacay in Michigan, I took the next three days getting back into my old routines and appointments. I also spent some time acclimating myself to our new van, laptop, and weekly water therapy sessions. (More on that stuff in future [...]
Ten Minutes in Old Navy with Emma

How long does it take my Nani and Nana to get an in-store approval for an Old Navy credit account?
Long enough for a fourteen month-old baby to do the following:
Play a quick pick-up game of toddler soccer with her mom and dad using one of the many garishly colored volleyballs being displayed for sale in [...]

Life around my house can never be described as dull. Even the most mundane and personal daily routines have the potential to become full-on familial gatherings. Such was the case yesterday afternoon when a perspiration-drenched tennis player, a bathrobe and slipper wearing MD, a now-crying and no-longer-napping toddler, a freaked out, frazzled, and frustrated wife, [...]
Taking Candy from a Baby

Emma and I enjoy eating snacks. From puffs and veggie straws to Cheerios and animal crackers, we truly love our between meal pick-me-ups.
In fact, we dig snacks so much, we would be extremely hard-pressed to limit our consumption to just one type. Well, on second thought, that’s not quite true. Actually, it’s pretty much a [...]

For those of you who know my wife, either in real life or from these postings, the following list of words and phrases should come as no surprise to you when describing Fehmeen: Incredible mother, devoted sister, loving and compassionate wife, and talented educator.

Emma’s Smirking Revenge

Hi Mama and Daddy-
Just in case you couldn’t tell who is typing this, it’s your daughter, Emma. If Daddy was careless enough to leave his laptop open on the table near my highchair, why shouldn’t I take advantage of the opportunity to set the record straight? As far as I’m concerned, the world needs to [...]

With our two roommates attending SF Giants Spring Training games in the Valley of the Sun, the three youngest Picetti’s had the crib to themselves for four days. What follows is a brief synopsis of the extended weekend that was.

At the end of my final clinical trial visit at UCSF two weeks ago I was examined by a neurologist. Once all the poking and prodding and pushing and pulling was over she offered up the following opinion on my condition: For someone with the amount of muscle strength in my legs, I should be [...]
