A few people commented on the spy cam we used when Leo was here - what great reception it had.  Well, it gets even better, people.  What we got was the super-duper, slightly creepy it’s so effective, see-in-the-dark, cordless, doesn’t-even-really-look-like-a… baby-cam!

This was for you, husband of mine!
(He says it has to do with being a farm boy - “spring is for spraying!” he says!  Sofar he’s been out there with his pump and poisons two or three times.  His mission?  Freeing our garden from the scary, nasty plague of … <dandylions.> Every time I object.  [...]

The first picture I found for my “nine months post” had this pretty number 9 with lots of balloons and happy thoughts all through it.  But that’s not really how I’m feeling, so I ditched the balloons and went with this picture.
You know when you’ve lost something for a long time and instead of it [...]
