Dean's Awesome photos

If you haven't checked out Dean (my brother-in-law)'s awesome photography skills yet, go to his blog (listed at right).  He took these amazing photos of Jane and Blaine the night before Blaine's birthday party.

Of course Jane is doing well, and sleeping through the night again!  (She had a couple of rough nights a week or so ago).  We are just getting ready to hit the road up to Sacramento tomorrow.  I have another Special District's class on Friday all day.  Dean will be babysitting "the triplets" that day.  Afterwards, Jane & I will jump right back into the car to rush home to prepare for the Soledad Rec Girls Softball closing day and BBQ (sliced tri-tip sandwich anyone?).  

It will be a crazy couple of days.  Based on my last few, however, it may just be a breeze.  **Sorry Marie for not making it down to the restaurant tonight**

Peace.

all that and a bag of firecrackers

Three sleeping babies.

I was just thinking of a funny story: something that happened while we were at the UC Davis Picnic Day with Jodi and Dean.

We were walking around campus, fervently (me and Dean) attempting to get to the weiner dog races when Jodi decided to stop and take a look through one of the school greenhouses.  We barely walked into the door when a young college girl asked me something I could not understand.  I asked her to repeat it.  "Can your baby play with firecrackers?"  Of course, I thought I mis-heard her and again asked her to repeat it.  "Um, can your baby play with firecrackers?"  

I replied, "um, NO."  As I walked away, I half-turn to Jodi and give her one of those are-you-freaking-kidding-me-was-that-for-real looks.

It was great.  

I am pretty sure she was using her botannical skills on more than just orchids - if you know what I mean.

Jane's first food

I any of you readers know the STORY OF THE GREAT PEA WAR between my mother and me you'll wonder why peas were my first choice for Jane's first "solid" food.  Well, for 'babies with potential food allergies' they recommend starting with vegetables.  And, there were only 2 choices for stage 1 baby food with just vegetables at our lovely grocery store.  So yea for crappy Foods Co, and hello PEAS.
