Stephanie, said elsewhere, but I am DAID from that Ellie shot. OMG. It's hilarious. How'd you do that? I've never been able to capture that face on wee things. I've never seen it done!

Her dad should SO blow that up and post it big somewhere obvious.

With my usual statement about needing to lose 30 lbs. a given, I'm fond of this picture: [link] That's our backyard, the wisteria/blackberry/morning glory section.

Next-door neighbor's kid: [link] Actually, most of their backyard is very nice...

Shit, Susan. It looks like you live in the damn jungle.

Cool.

Hey Raquel! Zito won today, pitching 8 innings.

Also the A's fans gave him a huge chant in the 8th that got louder and louder until he could hear it on the mound (and the cameras caught him smiling at it.) A bit of apprecition for all he's done to hold the team togetheer this year when we were flailing.

Blackberries are the kudzu of the Northwest. Only much tastier.

I have almost no blackberries in my yard. I do, however, have lots and lots and lots of morning glory, on account of almost a year without me weeding.

Lalala.

Mess? What mess? It's a cottage garden, honest!

Back from the House of Reason Party.

Ellie is too cute for her own good. I want to kiss her little nose.

This is very cool. Also, digging on Emmett's Zen.

That photo of Ellie may be the cutest baby photo ever.

Timelies!

I'm feeling decent this morning. I'm hoping that it sticks. I have a lot I want to do today. I've already done dishes, walked the dog, made coffee, and I'm about to make some banana bread.

Much cleaning must happen today. I'm not so looking forward to that part. Although, it'll feel good when it's done.

Hello.

Been skimming and skipping. Doing laundry.

Contemplating making a late breakfast for WS, who is still asleep, exhausted from the move.

Wow. Home.

Congrats on the getting home safely, Daniel. I wish you both much joy and delight in your home together.
