For Nena

Nena - here is the video of Emma reading Liza Lou and the Yeller Belly Swamp, just for you. Hope you enjoy it.

Then I saw his face....

OK, just realized the last two post did not actually show Reed's face. So the last time we showed him in all his glory (that is, not being a monster) was way back when. So here is a pic of Reed as of last night. He loves to yell, gets the shakes when he sees his food (solid food that is), and gives kisses by grabbing both of your ears, pulling you towards him and then sucking your nose til it falls off. Sooo sweet. He is still a very happy boy and I hope he always stays that way.

Who is that masked man?

Just had to post this. Hopefully this isn't a trend and we don't hear of someone 20 years from now with a monkey stocking cap pulled over his face (do they make them for adults?) robbing a bank or something, but for now it's just pretty darn cute. He actually did that himself.

Hello all. Well, two months since our last post. Too much to cover and not enough space - Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Reed's surgery, etc....but everyone is doing well and we're just now settling back into our normal lives. Emma is more vocal than ever with a whole new set of "why's" that are getting harder to answer already, Reed is crawling, cruising and could probably walk tomorrow if he really wanted to. And he makes a great dinner tray.

Anyway, Manda is back teaching after the holidays and things are going well there. She gets to teach Emma's class on Fridays so that always leads to some interesting stories.

Justin's work is good. Have two bosses still, but luckily no TPS reports to deal with.
