Longing

last night i called a friend in CA to ask a question about Hummus. before getting to the question part, she mentioned that she's with her daughter at the park.

aaawwwwwwwwww.....


that made me miss summer so much! i would compromise for spring. i'm so ready for the cold weather to be over, for the snow to be gone, and for the ice to make room for cozy water temperatures. maybe this year we'll finally take advantage of living so damn close to the beach.

we noticed that the first daffodil stems are poking out of the (still) frozen (still) snow-covered ground. yayy! this means that spring will eventually be here. i can't wait.

Feb 25, 2010 a walk

Ella's second (assisted) steps!
(we didn't have the camera handy the first time she figured out that these feet are meant for walking. this video is taken a couple of minutes later.)

Walk in the park

It was a beautiful day - just perfect for a walk in the park!

Teeth in action

 

 

listen very carefully to this video: if you're very very quiet, you can hear Ella's teeth!

news

1. tooth #2 came out yesterday (does that mean we'll get to sleep a full night?)

2. Coffy's story made it to the FIRST PAGE of The New York Times. woohoo!!!
now it's all over the internet. just google Jean-Paul Coffy and see what happens... we hope that now with the publicity, some of the politicians that so far did nothing to help will finally move things along. everybody misses coffy! it's time for him to come back WITH his parents.

my new hat

yayy! finished my alpaca hat. i started it over christmas, ran out of yarn, and finally found another skein of the same color at Michaels. just in time for tomorrow's snow storm :)

now i know i shouldn't get it wet, hehe
