We restored this beautiful antique chair. It's unique and comfy too!

Before...

After...

The buddies are two. I can't believe we made it. And I am ACTUALLY still relatively sane.

Guthrie's first haircut---straight across the forehead. Love big sister's pink cowboy boots...Click on the picture to see his cute little face more clearly.

The only pictures we managed to take in our weekend in Brooklyn. But they are good ones. I hadn't seen Matt Parrott since Dalian, China 2001.

Camping in the Ohio forest in September. Nothing better than everything permeated by the smell of campfire for at least a week...

i'm clearly NOT watching Browns football ever, ever again in my life because they SUCK ....so i might as well pay attention to my neglected blog. so here are some highlights of my life the past month:

+Sage goes to school all day now---it's bittersweet: my sweet, sweet growing girl.

+the buddies have each had a black-eye---rye's required a trip to the ER for some stitching

+i started grad school at Case Western Reserve University for a Masters of Public Health

+am basically taking two maths classes that have Calculus prereqs and the last challenging maths class i took was in 1995 (!!)

+i will make an A though

+i also started a MUCH long-awaited Iyengar yoga internship with my teacher

+i dropped my phone in the toilet, thus rendering the phone useless

+the steady realization that my kids are so adorable and perfect and brilliant that i must share them with everyone in the world

+the re-realization that my husband is a superb writer and brilliant logician
