And he can sing, too!

My father-in-law is a man of many talents, like being able to bike a hundred miles in August, catch big fish, and finish the New York Times crossword puzzle. But did you know he sings, too? =P

Happy Halloween!

great "get well soon" card

Emily gave me a hilarious "get well soon" card, so great I had to share. I went through a lot of bendy straws in the last week.

Naptime invaded

Piper did not respect my need for sleep or gentleness.

Pink!

I've been up to things lately. First there was a super fun trip with Emily to visit Lisa, Eric, and the kids in Bastrop. This was followed up by some family time, cat sitting, and experiments in hair color.

Emily and I stayed at a lovely B&B in Bastrop (the Pecan Street Inn) - here she is testing out our king-sized bed.

We helped Miles pick out his Halloween costume. It's a dinosaur. We promise.

Emily and I took Grandma Phyllis out to lunch at La Duni (la yummy!)

I watched the cats Petey and Nellie while John and Susie were in Telluride (so jealous!)
