Polka dots on blue sky

Our little girl is growing up! She sits up now, which makes putting socks on much easier. And today at day care they put her in a high chair to play, and she had no problem sitting up in there all by herself. Also, she's loosing her fat rolls between her wrist and elbow, elbow and shoulder, and knee & hip - so sad! I'll definitely miss those.

5.5 Reunion

Yes, long time no posting, but I'll go into that later.

In the meantime, here's a video from our birthing class's recent get-together (in case you need a reminder as to how much they've grown). All five families were there, but one had to cut out a bit early due to bed time schedules. Over on Jessica's blog and Fletcher's blog there are tons more pictures, and some quite excellent play-by-plays of Zoe's antics, taken before the video below was shot. Let's just say that I don't think Zoe will have any problems sticking up for herself among all these boys.


P.S. The best part of this video is the audio of the parents, so be sure to play it on a computer with sound.

Marathoners rock!

So, today was the running of the Austin Marathon. Aaron ran it, but we somehow missed him (perhaps he was running ahead of pace?). Our friends Jill & Michael also ran it, and we were able to catch them. They both looked really good at mile 20, where we were camped out, so I'm sure they were going to finish it up looking spectacular. Congrats to all you Marathon finishers out there!

5 months!

It seems like forever, and no time at all

my favorite magazines are disappearing

Domino recently announced that it was closing up shop, and now there are whisperings floating around that ReadyMade is also on the fritz. Noooooooo!
edit: And now there was one....
Craft is closing up shop. This recession really is pushing that whole 'end of print' thing...
I'm left with Dwell.
