My favorite tall kids at Ruffner Mountain, January 2006


Some friends have the small kids, some have the tall kids and these two have skyrocketed since I first started taking care of them last summer. I work with their mother at the News (she is a former student of my Dad's and I went to high school with two of her sisters). I have really enjoyed knowing Hannah and Ian. Their humor and perspective on the world is total delight for me and I always have appreciated the way that kids can keep it simple. They don't have to worry about bills, breakups or career crises at this point in their lives. Their job is to be kids. Not pictured is their little brother, David, who is four. He was at preschool on this day. They aren't mad or sad in this picture, they are mearly trying out their "cool" faces that Ian is into while in front of the camera.

Kids are great. Sometimes we forget that their job is to be kids. I love it!

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle .

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
