Henry's recollection of his day, so far:

Today I went to Men's breakfast. I had breakfast casserole with cheese and meat. Then we went home. We went to the library playground, we played on it. I showed my daddy the rocking chairs that are in the library. Then we went home again and ate lunch and took at nap. And then I played Hi Ho Cherry-O, Chutes and Ladders, and we played Uno three times. And now we are watching college football. Maria can climb on the couch all by herself now and she can say Hi and bye-bye. Ok, that's it.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic.  I make no apologies for the outfit.

Want that oh-so-hot look you had in middle school when you tried to cut your own bangs, and they came out uneven, so you just kept on trimming? Until practically nothing was left?

Try Post-partum Hair Loss! It’s awesome!

Amy, I cannot even imagine the tumbleweeds that will be floating around your apartment a year from now with your amazing volume of terrifically curly hair. Despite all that – you’re about to have the time of your life. I’m so thrilled about your teensy little person.

Time is moving too fast with this one. She's pretty much just one nap away from begging me for the keys so she can go to the mall to meet her friends.

I don't have much time, but I could not NOT share these crappy cell phone pictures of two interesting items at Henry's preschool's yard sale fundraiser I worked at from 6:45-2:00 today.

Yes, that's a whole box of large binder clips. There were at least 5 boxes full. And now for my absolute favorite item...

I know. 6 Placemats of Distinction. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?!? The placemats weren't really that great. They were also the smallest placemats I've ever seen, as though they were for mice, or something.

Sorry about the weirdo blog glitch if you tried to read yesterday. For some reason the way my guest blogger sent me her post went all wonky, and IE users weren't able to read it. I changed it so it's not so pretty looking and now the page loads. Huh. Go figure. It's definitely worth reading so please scroll down and do so. Especially because today's update will just be a crappy cell phone photo of my knucklehead son.

Well, thanks for all the nice remarks about our birth announcement. That photo was actually taken by my sister while I stood on the side taking one with my camera. Henry was being so good and looking straight at me. I still like the one Kat took better! We had two choice outtakes from that photo session... You might want to click and enlarge the second one. Or not.

back off, ladies...

...he's aaaallllllll mine.

(almost immediately after finishing our Christmas photo session - see outtakes below - Timon went to the bathroom and came out 5 minutes later looking like this. He's now ready for all those COPS reenactments he's been waiting to star in.)

every time i take the brace off to get a little air, henry asks, "you hand all better now, mommy?"

i wish, kid.
