I've heard people bragging about WordPress for awhile. And now I understand.
So I've moved my blog. Now posting at:

The 3rd Anniversary of My 29th Birthday
Kicked off the day with bible study, as per usual Friday schedule, followed by trip to bakery for bread (organic 12-grain) and gourmet lunch at home with kids (grilled cheese). Naptime. Blissful silence ensues, to be interrupted all too soon by wakefulness and playtime. Arrival of husband. Discussion follows:
S: What do you want for your birthday: a nice dinner out or a present?
A: (pondering) Nice dinner out means I don't have to cook...but no present... How about a not-so-nice dinner out?
Chick-fil-a it is! Usual fare, although addition of milkshake lends grand sense of occasion to the proceedings. Free brownie samples (!) and playtime in the self-contained toddler virus incubator...er, playground.
Celebrants adjourn to Lowe's for new paint to coordinate with birthday present: drapery fabric for new house. Samples mixed ("Steamer Trunk" and "Olive Branch Gold"). Marital disagreement about sample size resolved.
Back at the ranch, children retire for the evening. Paint samples tested on kitchen and bedroom: "Olive Branch Gold" approved; "Steamer Trunk" deemed nice but too dark. Chocolate-covered strawberries. Fell asleep watching Planet Earth.
It was a good day.

My Tristan
Today my baby turns one! What happened?
We still have the same dimples, the silky brown hair, the constant (and I do mean constant) movement. But now he's moving on his feet instead. And I find myself hating every phone call, meeting, TV program and good book that kept me from him for even one second this past year. It's all gone by so very quickly.
Happy Birthday, sweetheart! I love you so much.

(Almost) First Steps
Yesterday, Tristan started walking intentionally (as opposed to accidental walking...). I failed to capture it on camera, but this morning he gave it another whirl.
Excuse the goofy commentary. He was so distracted by the camera that I had to coax him to keep him "on task." Note Griffin still in his PJs and the toys everywhere.
