So. Very. Tired. And totally not up for reposting these elsewhere. Pics! In conclusion: Venezuelans are absolutely awesome. (Except the ones that drug and kidnap you, of cours...

So, you know, just your average day. Awake at four and out the door a solid 45 minutes later than hoped. But we didn't forget anything! (That we've realized yet, anyway.)

He sings the alphabet like I sing songs I don't know. In fact, I think I've used the same line he does after 'k' as the lyrics of many a song. I hadn't thought of shoving a toothbrush holder in my mouth to obfuscate it though. That's a pretty good idea. I might try th...

You know all those quotes about how a mom is not simply a mom, but a housekeeper, a nurse, a teacher, etc? You know what they always forget to include? NINJA! I am a nin...

Finn still won't take a bottle. Countdown to play in Portland: 3 days. Think they allow infants? And to ease my increasing headache and make this post worthwhile - the boys in their new Duallie Bob...
