potty time

boy, are they gonna hate me for this one when they get older...

Am's birthday

our little girl is growing up! one year already. wow. it went so...well...since i only worked for like 2 of those months, kinda slowly. but at any rate, she's our walking and almost-talking little princess. we had some folks, to include both sets of grandparents, over for a little shindig. it was grand.

we have lift off!

the godfather

Shane rolled through town back in January. It was great to have a fill-in reader for Oggie, because I had been sick for like a month at that point. My voice just couldn't keep up with Og's voracious appetite for stories.

snow day 2011

SNOW! i told og to enjoy it cuz i'm sure we won't see it again in austin till he's 10 or something.

Chistmas 2010

Finally some pictures from Christmas/Ogmas 2010.

some catching up

back in november, we visited old friends in tyler, tx. jesse caught me trying to sneak a nap while the kids were being entertained by the flat screen.



then, jesse had a birthday bash to christen our new apartment in graduate student housing. here's og enjoying some of the hyde park fudge chocolate cake.

then we had a post-thanksgiving photo shoot with am. here she is with her favorite digestive: leaves!



and that brings us up to the browns. patrick, kathryn, ezekiel and zipporah stopped by on their way back to albuquerque from the east coast. it took og and zeke about a nanosecond to get reacquainted. we had hours of fun touring the various playgrounds at our apartment. there was also a running contest to see who could give the other's sister the most kisses. it was nice communal living for the last week.
