walkers!

This video was shot a couple weeks ago- 9/12/2007. Boys love their walkers! We took them out to the courtyard right in front of our apartment in the center of our complex. It's a big, smooth, contained place for them to walk around and they seemed to enjoy it. Lindsay and their Early Intervention therapist Priscilla were there to help out while I filmed. Since this video was shot they have started taking some steps all by themselves too. Our days of placid immobility- as tenuous as they have been these last few months since the boys have been crawling- are about to become completely extinct!

Violet's Grave

What a terrible title. Anyway we took these photos a long time ago or so it seems. As usual I'm very slow at getting things done. Nik loaded the pictures to Anatole's laptop and I don't usually have use of his laptop so... just some of the excuses for taking so long to post. We chose the red granite and Marge chose the "she's still at it" and this is the final result. I think my mom would be happy with the result. Can't believe it's been so long since she passed. We took a photo of Allan's grave and Eva's grave too. Thought I'd post those as well.

the Jane Austen Book Club Premiere

Yesterday Ian and I partook in a Hollywood tradition- we went to our first semi-big-deal premiere for the movie that the company Ian works for, Sony Pictures Classics, is releasing this weekend. We didn't know exactly what to expect. We showed up on time, which meant we had to wait for about 45min. before they started the movie, and we weren't sure if we were going to be overdressed. Not that we were wearing anything special- I was wearing a dress and Ian had on some slacks and a button-up. Turned out to be just right, although some people were there with jeans. The cast showed up decked to the nines for the most part. It was really fun to get an introduction to the movie from the director herself I guess it's the first movie she's directed although she's been adapting novels for the screen for years (Little Women, Memoirs of a Geisha). After the movie it was kind of weird to see all the cast members milling around. I don't know if I liked it so much because everybody that made it was there or because it's really good. I think it's really good, Ian said every time he looked over at me I had a huge smile on my face: 'extended glee' he called it.
yeay.

Brothers and Sisters

I thought I'd share two interesting photo's I ran across recently.

Adventures in Eating

Let's just say that I'm really glad we have a washer and dryer at our place- the laundry we've got nowadays- oy.

cute teeth

Let's be honest, Liam has been a little crabby the past few days, but this picture I thought was pretty cute, and makes me want to forget about how he has been a buger! He has seven teeth already, which is amazing to me, and I think that is why he is crabby, on top of that he is getting some more. AHHH!!!
