out, about

August 31, 2008 | Filed Under familial, royal buffet 

my brother and his wife are the proud new parents of one very lovely baby boy.  welcome to the world, little one!  there really is nothing like a new baby about.  lola is no longer the smallest and, in fact, looks to be nearly a teenager compared to something as fresh and red as this boy.

some of my family came for a much anticipated and long awaited visit this week, thus my blogging (and otherwise) absence.  cleaning and cooking and doing royal things in addition to ernie painting the front door (three cheers for turquoise), laundry, the horrors of teething gums in a baby’s mouth, and dancing with boys who, for some reason only known to people like my husband and noel and troy and melanie, think my dance moves are completely and impossibly terrible and ridiculous.  well, sniff.

i found some more tree graffiti on bamboo, a bench.  i love finding it and must remember to always be looking for it.  i like how fast it had to be carved,  the idea of that sick “i shouldn’t do this” feeling in their stomachs, the glee during the run away, a name, two, forever where it shouldn’t be.  i’ve added them to the set that be seen here, on flickr, which i love!

this week we’re looking forward to a day at grandpa’s farm (more family, golf carts, the hope for good tomatoes), a birthday party for marsh (a one year old marsh! no!), planning for school to start the week following, eating all of those peaches i couldn’t stop buying at the market, more garlands (october-ish cats, i can’t wait, they’re so terrific, if i do say so myself…), the possibility of a clean house, and catching up on all i’ve left behind.
