The Ode, New Frog Bib & Noggin

Yo. This one is dedicated to Andrew's thumb and my finger nails. Yeah, that's right, thumbs and finger nails. You see, Andrew loves to not only point at things (as you have seen in the blog thus far), but also suck his thumb. I am actually fond of it, because it's really cute. I would like to make part of the blog entry an Ode to His Thumb, because it is so cute. Check out the pictures. Now, as some of you already know, I bite my fingernails...still. Whatever, they are groomed and clean. Andrew's got his thumb, I got my nails, we make a great team. Also, I would like to give a "shout out" to the new green froggy bib that catches all of Andrew's food (see pictures below). This bib is genius. When the food morsels are too much for his little mouth to take, the bib curves up to lend the necessary support; it actually catches the food. This bib also reduces waste and helps prevent messes. "New-Green-Froggy-Bib-with-Eyes-Inventor" this blog post is for you. REAL MOMs of GENIOUS….. And finally, I recommend checking out noggin.com... esp. the song about "I hog the ground" under the Jacks Music Show section. It's a sweet and "all-some" song. Andrew and I love to sing it together.

Andrew, Where are your eyes?

Andrew loves to point at things. My dad the other day said that in all the pictures he took over Christmas and over the past year, Andrew is also pointing at something. Just before I took this photo I asked, "Andrew where are your eyes?"

The Time Has Come To Say Fairs Fair To Pay the Rent To Pay Our Blog Share

Greetings from San Diego California! Currently, we are having a great time organizing our study and computer office. It was a mess. The books were dusty, the computer was crowded (you know how it is… right?), the CD’s were disorganized (and probably now scratched), the papers were everywhere, the printer was out of black ink and the computer (our desk top that is) would not work properly. Its seems that technology although super fun and super efficient needs to be baby-sat-more-than-we-really...-like. I mean the last thing I want to do is UPDATE Mr. Gates every Saturday night (you get my drift?). Anyway, all that to say: After a weekend of work we are in computer clean paradise (for a least one day!). Not to brag or anything, but I bet you have experienced this. You know, you finally worked out all the computer bugs, it was sort of luck and sort of manual, but in the end (like magic) the computer began to work without much explanation. The computer is now full operational, the desk is clean, the papers are in order…. Oh yeah, I need black ink (but whatEVER), life is good. The cords… yes even the cords are organized. Man, perhaps I will even study in here. Anyway, I managed to scrap together some pictures of the family (mostly Andrew) from the past few months. Some pictures are pre-holiday and some are post-holiday. Enjoy.

We recieved in the mail an University of Oregon lamp. It was a present we got for Christmas. The lamp was cool, which is now my reading lamp, but so was the styrfoam!
