Our 13th Book!

Mary and I just finished reading Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. It is a great light-action type of half thriller half cyber-punk sort of read. I highly recommend it. We both enjoyed it. This book makes 13 that we have read aloud to each other, mostly while driving.

One is the Loneliest Number

My snail, Nori, is no longer the only gastropod in Kenji's fish tank!

Nori has spawned 3 baby snails. I have named them Tsumi, Tsuri, and Tsuki... but dont ask me which one is which. They dont look distinct from one another yet, but I'm sure that I'll be able to identify each one of them by sight as they grow.

I'm a proud grandmother (of sorts)!



Nori and the babies are golden apple snails, and this is a picture of what golden apple snails look like.

Happy Birthday, Elliot!!!

This is Elliot's first birthday without wisdom teeth! He had them removed on Friday and he still cant eat solid foods. Which means no birthday cake today. Maybe I can get him some birthday yogurt. Or birthday applesauce. Or a birthday smoothie. Hmmm. Or maybe we'll just hold off on celebrating for a few days.

Once upon a time last weekend...

The cats were sooooo cute...



...that we decided to go to the duck pond!



And get a silly haircut!


What a fun day!

Hi Mom!

This weekend I went to stay with my mom in Sarasota and we had a grand ole time.

Here is a picture that we took outside a nice restaurant in downtown Bradenton.



I love you mom.


And here is a pretty sunset.
