hi kids!

hopefully, we have a few new readers...i included this url with our holiday letters so folks could check in from time to time and get the dish.

this week i/we have:

-sent out the second and last wave of holiday cards (and it's the last because i ran our of cards and energy)

-NOT sent out the christmas thank yous. emily post's ghost is going to haunt me until i do, i'm sure of that. if you sent us a gift for the holidays, hang tight, the thank you is coming.

-purchased a digital video camcorder instead of snow shoes with some of our christmas money. we figured that moving pictures of The Button were important to have and to be able to send to grandparents.

-become the parents of a fully bi-pedal being. yes, rory is pretty much done with crawling. and let me tell you, as tiny as she is (25th percentile girl), it is too cute to watch that teeny little body walk around. she looks as though she's got a string attached to her fat little tummy and is being lead around by an invisible being holding onto that string.
