Every time we move to a new city we go to the
public library in the very first week.
It's a library-love tradition

Yesterday I whispered to my baby,
"Cecilia, why are you trying to destroy me?"

When nothing else works you order hair putty from Japan.

I'll probably beat you in Scrabble.

No-Sugar-Added Klondike ice cream bars have a pretty distinct coffee flavor.
Good news if you're a Mormon who also likes mocha flavoring...me.

My brother-in-law has pointed out that the redheads
both have serious East Coast accents.
I kind of love that idea.

Yesterday Cecilia turned one month old.

Readjusting to this new time zone is killing me.
I have to stop an think about what time it is
before I can call my friends.

Apparently it's also killing my friends -
since I got a phone call at 5:00 am this week.

We're off to a local Pumpkin Patch tonight.
And then we're carving our pumpkins tomorrow.
Yep, we're carving them ON Halloween.
