What an amusing sight this was: My 19-month-old, Isaac, chasing my almost-three-year-old, bare-bottomed Ian around and around the house, with little red toddler undies, gripped by the waistband in his chubby hands, insisting, “Wuh-wear! Wuh-wear! [translated: “underwear”]” I need to figure out how to make a photo album of “I wish I got a picture of that”…

Man At Work
Brian is not an overly excitable guy, but he called me from work today with a glee in his voice, probably two notches higher than when he announced this would be a three-day work week. “I found a dealer! Right down town! I’m headed there now!” Don’t turn him in just yet. He’s just trippin’…

What am I thinking?!
I’ve never blogged. Ever. Why on earth am I starting now? I haven’t even done the dishes yet.
