We're Doomed...part 2

Yesterday, Riley took his first few tentative steps between a table and the baby gate, without any suggestion from us. Today, he's walking a good 10ft with confidence. How does that happen so fast? It's actually a little strange to see him moving this way, I'm so used to seeing him crawling and cruising.

So, the new semester began this week. Andrew and I are teaching on the same days at the same time again, because for some reason it's impossible to get the point across that we need to NOT overlap, in case Riley gets sick or daycare is closed. We've both taken a surprisingly cavalier approach to our classes this semester. Case in point, it's the night before my morning lecture, and I've no idea what I'm lecturing on tomorrow. I HAVE a lecture put together, I just don't remember what's in it. Either we're more skilled, or we've stopped caring.

We had a great weekend here, and were able to get out and enjoy the many inches of snow sitting around by going snowshoeing [pix to come later]. Today, it warmed up a bit and a lot of it melted, but I'm sure we'll get more :)

And now I leave you with this parting shot, of mischief in action.

Sleep is for the healthy

Too tired to write much -Riley's sick so we're all missing sleep. Here's some pix from over the holidays. Happy 2010 everyone!

Riley's first time playing in the snow. He seemed a little uncertain- probably wondering what the heck happened to the grass!

Rew put him to work right away.

We went for a nice walk at the Arboretum in the new snow.

Christmas morning. All those presents, and all he wants to play with is a Christmas ornament.

Ready for a ride in his new sled. The bunting can also go in his wagon!
