We headed for my parents in the afternoon. t.c. leaped in the air when I told him where we were going, rushed around to find his socks. Should he wear his boots or his shoes? Shoes or boots? What should he DOOO? And then there was the bitching about where everybody was sitting in the […]
Has gone well, no disasters, no crying, lots of fun. t.c. was up at 6:40 and we told him, most sincerely, that it was still dark out, still night. Go back to sleep. l.c. was given a drink and covered up. He snuggled in a curl with his pillow pet and it was all quiet.

Okay, this is t.c. and he arrived here in a burst of happy hollering. I love his hat, asked him to pose for a picture, and snapped this: That’s him and his grandpa. It was a snap, that quick. But the light was so pretty, I drew him in and cropped the edges. After this,

A few pictures from the weekend: The countdown: The stroke of midnight–any excuse to go nuts: Today we had our New Year’s Day party with our old friends Dan and Denise. Oh, and this! That Knex kit finally worked. I had to buy another little kit for spare parts because we lost some connector pieces.
