In what’s become a yearly tradition, the Smith family presents another fun year of pumpkining. We’re joined this year by Chynna and Darian. Both Elliott and Neela drew their own faces this year, and Elliott even helped carve. Carol and I had some quiet time after the kids went to bed.

The music this time is by Menomena, Passion Pit, and Grizzly Bear (links go to the iTunes store).

UPDATE: I increased the quality of the video fairly dramatically. SHould look better and load faster now. If it’s still loading too slowly, you can turn off HD.

Anyway, I thought I’d share an important thing that happened today.

I have stretched my lobes again, and I am having so much fun with this concept. Only because of the beautiful things I find to stick in the holes. (more…)

I cut Elliotts hairs yesterday, and I think I did an fantastic job of what not to do. (more…)

So….. (more…)

We spent 4th of July with Ethan’s family. The kids were in bathing suits most the time with rosey cheeks and sleepless eyes. Nana blew bubbles with the kids (a favorite activity) and I had to share these videos of Neela and Roli in action… (more…)

Last weekend, Elliott and I had Friday and Saturday to ourselves…. (more…)

When we went to CA last month, I flew with the kids on my own. The flight down was pretty decent (Thank goodness for jets blue’s satellite TV). But for the flight back, I was a little worried. Timing of the day was worse and … (more…)
