No Joy in Mudville

Growing up in a household of cheeseheads, it was a phrase my mother used often. Apparently, I do not love my child enough to spare her the heartache that it is to be a Packer fan. Ah, well. She can learn the quiet dignity of being a well-wisher for her friends' teams that DO make it to the Superbowl. And I'll teach her the magic names: Curly, Vince, Bart, Brett...

Snuggly Warm

She kindly allowed me to put a diaper on her but that was it. Then, of course, she decided she was cold. So she crawled up into the glider chair in her room, grabbed the nearest blanket and bunny, and snuggled right in.

Our Virgo

Oh my but the vacuum is a delight for Molly the Virgo. In a year or so, I expect her to be helping us organize our Tupperware shelf. By age 4, I'm hoping for an overhaul of the basement storage closets.

Polar Bear

We did the polar bear again this year (our 3rd dip in the lake on New Year's Day). The weather was great this year! Here's a photo of Molly watching Daddy run into the lake (we took turns - I swam first). Her expression seems to say "Okay, the tree in the house is one thing. This is just crazy."

Happy 2008

Happy New Year to all! Molly celebrated it by sleeping. YAY!
