Wildlife Run Amok

Scott's parents came to visit last weekend to help us get our house into "show" shape. We're putting it on the market next Tuesday and we (and our realtor) want it to look perfect. While we were working, a wild animal somehow got loose in the house:


That's Lincoln in the skunk costume purchased by Grandma King and Joni over the weekend. I think he really likes the costume - he spent a lot of time in front of the mirror admiring himself.

This weekend was also our 6th anniversary. We had plans to go out Saturday night, but unfortunately I was really sick on Saturday and had to take a raincheck on our anniversary dinner.

Go Motion

I think most of our regular blog readers know my friend Jim. Well, his band, Go Motion, was featured as Spin Magazine's Artist of the Day today at Spin.com.

It's a great accomplishment for an independent band. If you've got a minute, go give them a good rating so they become Spin's Artist of the Month.

Movin' On Up

Scott and I have been very busy these past few weeks finalizing the purchase of a new house! It's in the Milhaven section of Mission, just a bit south of our current house.

It has five bedrooms and three full baths (with a master bath!) and plenty of room for Lincoln to play. We don't close until the end of October, so we have plenty of time to pack and sell our house. It will be sad to move, but we're excited about having more space.

So you think you can dance?

Lincoln loves the first song on his Teddy Tunes CD. Here's a quick shot of his dancing skills.

Happy 40th Anniversary Mom and Dad!!

My parents celebrated their 40th anniversary yesterday, so I thought I'd share a photo of the special day that started it all. Congratulations Mom and Dad - I hope someday that Scott and I can follow your lead and have a long happy marriage like yours!

Also, in case anyone was worried - I have *not* dropped off of the face of the Earth. My new job at Commerce has just kept me very busy. I've been working, playing with Lincoln, and doing a (very small) bit of knitting. Scott's parents are staying with us for a couple of days while Lucy is on vacation, so Lincoln is getting very spoiled this week!

Lincoln likes corn

We don't know why he likes what he likes, but Lincoln seems to love corn. Here are a couple pictures. One of him gnawing on an ear of corn, and the other of him looking cool in Dad's sunglasses.

P.S. Lincoln and I are chillin' at home today while Lucy is on vacation and Linda's at work.
