First they saw Great Aunt Myrtle, Gwen, and Dave.

Then they moved on to Austin to see Povondra People.

Now they're back and one of them has developed an affinity for "vampire" teeth.

The boys are back in town

Camping with Griff

After a night of cold camping, the boys are back. While they were gone, I slept a lot, ate a lot, and fretted about the furniture not being arranged right.

Biggest hit of the trip: seeing an albino deer and a dead fox.

Boys.

Ladies & Gentledogs ...

This is what we do everyday after work and school.

Don't look at the baseboards

A place to put the next one

Or the condition of the wood floor. Rugs, people. They hide things.

Today my sweet neighbors and friends gave me a shower and it was super fun and super appreciated. Melany made my crib bedding (and valances and basket liners -- yeah)and I've already organized all the other gifts into a nice organized pile of organization, which I'm hoping someone will help me sort through in the near future. Mom? Molly?

THANKS y'all! I loved the shower and the showering!

In other news ... After we set up the crib, John threw Blue Blanky in as his gift for the baby. He went to bed tonight -- the first time in nearly five years -- without Blue and attempting not to suck his thumb. He's so self-aware!

And speaking of ... check out the latest video of him on my Flickr page: pumpkin carving with his tongue out to aid in concentration and alignment.

I'm off to bed at 8:41 p.m.!

BEFORE & AFTER

He finally decided that he wanted his hair cut. Oh well.
