Before I forget... Thomas and I enjoyed a night out with Dad and Mom. Dinner at Maddox then on to the opening reception for the Church's International Art Competition, held for the first time in the Conference Center. It makes me proud to be a son.

First Steps

Isabelle took her first steps two weeks ago. We faithfully recorded it for history, but I haven't figured out how to get the video clip onto this blog yet. A still photo just isn't as cute as seeing her in action. You'll just have to take my word for it. It's an aweful cute site.

For all the girls in the family...

I just saw this. From the Newbery Award Winning author, Neil Gaiman. He has a wonderful reading voice and a unique/quirky way of looking at the world.

I really enjoyed his audiobook narration of this year’s Newbery Award-winning The Graveyard Book, of whom he is the author. Its a bit dark in chapter one but very engaging for the rest. A good read for boys. Note... he is also the author for Coraline, the new Tim Burton animated film. I haven't seen that yet but hear it is quirky, a bit dark, but very good.
