Random Updates
This weekend Nick and I went out and purchased a baby stroller/car seat combo. Kinda neat, so we decided to strap Yellow Bear into it and try it out. (Yellow Bear was Nick's favorite stuffed animal as a kid.) We rolled it around the room a couple of times and Yellow Bear didn't complain, so I think we're going to deem the purchase a success.
With a little baby kicking nonstop inside my belly--(I really think she's testing it systematically for weaknesses, like a velociraptor)--I thought I'd do a little kicking of my own. This took place in the engineering building on campus. KAREN SMASH!
And afterwards . . . oh noes! What have I done!
Further updates:
Wanted is out on DVD now! Man, I loved that movie. It was just so brazenly beautifully over the top. Also, Zod is in it (you know, from Superman II?), and any movie featuring Zod is automatically Oscar-worthy.
And speaking of movies, we recently watched a movie called Machine Girl, which is essentially a Japanese grindhouse flick. Wow. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite so hilarious and bizarre. Nothing about the violence is realistic (imagine, if you will, geyser-like blood spurts emanating from severed limbs), but it's still not for the faint of heart. Tarantino only wishes he could be this hardcore.
Let's see, what else? Oh yeah, I love hot chocolate again! More Chocolate-Cinnamon Delight, please.

Hmm, none of this bodes well for our own child-raising experience! Maybe if we set aside an Art Zone or something....

I'm imagining this was an expression worn quite frequently by Karen as a child. :D

Oh, the little yellow bear. Did you know that he was given to me by my sister the Christmas before Nick was born. The picture brought a smile to my face.

Paul: How did you guess? I'm pretty sure this was my expression after I carved my name into the bathroom door in 3rd grade (because apparently Magic Marker wasn't permanent enough). :D
Grandma J: I didn't know Yellow Bear was a gift from your sister. Guess that makes him an heirloom!

Yep, the expression looks pretty familiar from your early years. I recall there were several other occasions in addition to the name carving project. BTW, you did get a chance to decorate a hallway with a magic marker when you were a preschooler. Since we were repainting it, we let you show your artistic side. Perhaps this inspired your later artwork on the bathroom door.
