My baby!

Notice how stressed out and generally verklempt this dude is.

I'll have what he's having, with an extra helping packed up to go, please.

Flip book

The crazy comes out...

...any time the temp goes above freezing. Yes, it's january and my kid is running around the frond yard in a tshirt and polarfleece-blanket-cape.

Recently I was reading through a book on stress reduction, and it mentioned that overusing the internet is a new  numbing mechanism for people who are trying to avoid hard situations or thoughts.

Well, that puts a whole new spin on my mindless 2am Facebook Mah Jong marathons.

Mission accomplished!

Liza's resolution for 2011 was to finally lose a tooth, and she managed it just in the nick of time!

Best Christmas Vignette ever

Yes, that's the Wright Brothers airplane attacking a beribboned dinosaur that's eating a miniature Yosemite Sam. On my Christmas tree. This is why I can't leave the room when Liza and Jason are near the tree ...

Christmas shopping

"These would be perfect for Grandma!"

Like icing on the neighborhood

Friday we had enough snow to make everything look pretty, which conveniently melted off by 10 am. My kind of snow!
