I had so much fun with her on the weekend! Thanks for letting the kids stay overnight. A family at church just named their new baby Nora(h). You're on the brink with this name, just like we were on the brink with Emily.
Emily, do you want to be on the brink? I didn't think so.
Norah is such a babe. You and Sarah make me feel a little guilty with your fastidious photo studio visits. I have never set foot in one with one of my children. Am I a bad mom?
I found your blog through another blog (I think nie nie's?)a few weeks ago and realized you're married to the boy I had a huge crush on in high school! Weird. Glad to see he married someone cool. Tell Steve hey...I'm the shy, geeky girl who used to stare at him during seminary.
Carrie, I'm glad you commented. It's fun for me to run into people who were as taken with Steve Craig as I was during high school. I think there were quite a few of us who were intrigued by the guy. That was when his aura of mystery peaked, I think: longish blonde hair, guitarist in a rock band, gymnastics to make the girls swoon, poetry. . . What a lady killer!!
He's still a pretty cool guy, although, it's funny -- he doesn't do any of those things anymore!
You mean I wasn't the only one? This is hilarious finding all these people I went to high school linking to your blog. Email me at mykids.rock@yahoo.com and I'll send you an invite to my family blog. Love your blog, by the way, you're totally fun.
Em, Norah is beautiful. So glad youguys stopped over unannounced the other day. We are going to miss those kind of treats. I still contend that she is a dead ringer for Amye. I'd love to see a split screen of Norah and Amye at 9 months to see if i'm just imaginging things.
Abby, I don't take my kids in to see the professionals, either. I just take 100's of them on my digital camera. I had too many bad experiences at kiddie kandids with my twins to ever want to go back.
cute pics of Norah, she's getting so big. Okay to Carrie who commented, I think you're my sister-in-law's sister-in-law. Does that make sense? Are you related to Janell and Rob Law?
For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president. Or a Chinese-American president, or a Jewish president, or a Mormon president and I could go on. The black cultural things about Obama make some people very nervous: his African-American church, for example, or the racially-charged thesis that his wife supposedly wrote at Princeton, or was it Yale? 1 There are way too many people, of all political parties, in this country who harbor biases t...
Last night while reading in bed, I developed a hankering for sweets: specifically, cookies or cake. Almost enough to get out of bed and make something. So I said, "Steve, I really want some cake. Or a cookie. Almost enough to get out of bed and make something." Then I added, "Why don't you call the Fattalehs and ask them if they have any cookies at their house." In very uncharacteristic fashion, my husband picked up his phone and asked, "What's the number?" I told him and he dialed something else and got the wrong number, and then I told him again and he dialed right the second time. He then got David on the phone and asked if they had anything sweet that we could come get because I felt like eating something sweet. Jami the hero always has delicious offerings at her house that she has made and that she is willing to magnanimously share with others, so David the hero said, "We do! We have brownies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We'll ...

We will be there sometime around the 15th of September. Shauna said you have a dinner scheduled around then? Maybe we can work something out.

Steve said to tell you hi.
