Thanks, Hil!

Meanwhile, Lillian

Oh, I was back right on time. PMM, she's adorable! What an expression-full pretty face! The eyes and the smile and the, well, everything. Um, maybe not that silly up-in-the-air ponytail, just so that I won't read like a crazy fan.

This just makes me think of Joseph and Mary, sorry.

Well, it was in Israel. Though they were more inland than either me or my parents. Also, good luck with the job!

I have found day-care providers to be excessively fond of the vertical Pebbles ponytail. Silliest hairstyle ever.

I have to confess that many day-care providers are not above doing silly things to your children for their own amusement.

she has a destiny! As a mother, isn't it your role to make sacrifices so she can realise it?

I guess so. Can you get me a deal on headgear?

She also might be a slash writer, however. She always grabs the Green Lantern magnet off the fridge and holds him like she does her baby. This morning, when I told her to put him back so we could go to school, she spent 2 minutes making sure that he on top of Supes.

So what you're basically saying is that she sneaks up at nights and reads Natter? What's her opinion on gerunds? Or cutlery? [Edit: I just saw the pictures with Lillian and the spoon, so she even has who to discuss things with!]

She has not made opinion on gerunds known and as for cutlery, she believe eating with hands is the only way to go.

The better to mash your mango all over your face.

Well, I imagine it increases the already high cuteness factor (and I say this from far enough to not need to clean up, of course).

Have you guys seen this site where you can compare all kinds of spaceships and whatnot? [link]

Happy birthday, libkitty!

Woo-hoo, Jesse! Good luck with that interview!

Hi, Nilly!

Did they talk a lot about the election and the results on your side of the ocean?

Last night's The Daily Show spent the opening segment talking about the election, including a report from the fresh-out-of-maternity-leave Samantha Bee, who spent some time explaining how a party with 28 seats out of 100+ wins an election. Funniest line was when she was breaking down the smaller parties' results: "Lefkowitz party of four got five seats..."

Congratulations, Jesse. Getting a reply, not to mention an enthusiastic reply, is really a coup in this day and age.

I do have exactly the experience and education they said they wanted in the ad, so that helps.
