Good mail


We also received a big treat in the mail!

After several years of talking about getting a compact digital camera, we finally broke down and bought one of the highest-rated ones on the market. Besides taking fantastic photos, we can also make movies with it. And carry it around in our pocket. Or diaper backpack. (Our digital rebel, while lovely, is so cumbersome!) We also bought the mother of all video cards (4gb, baby!), so we can take lots of photos and lots of movies. We are thrilled.

Check back here for lots of cute baby photos and movies coming your way soon. Now we just need to wait for the baby to actually get here.


Above, some recent flickr favorites

Fun places to go:
+ Maria and Steph have started up photographing their Year of Evenings! I loved following their year of mornings in 2007 and am so glad they decided to branch off and continue the project.
+ Just discovered Becoming Home and the new Becoming Mom! Love her sense of style.
+ Check out The Paper Pony. Raya is expecting a baby soon too!
+ I finally updated our links page. As always, it’s a work in progress.

Recent pleasures


Drinking out of bell jars. They just hold so much more than our regular drinking glasses.
Eating latkes. I think we may have to celebrate Hannukah for a few more weeks.


Digging California winters. Rain here and there with some sprinklings of sunshine. Just gorgeous.


Hanging with awesome mamas and babies. I love making new friends.

Selected recent twitter updates:

Preview of things to come! I think we’re gonna have a night owl. 12/15
