Updates

I know that when you read that we got a Wii, you, faithful reader, feared that posting to 83 Durant would become even more rare. We will try not to let that happen. And by the way, in the ongoing house Wii bowling tournament, Jake and I stand at 1 - 1. Lucy isn't playing yet, but we look forward to her debut. Carter seems distinctly disinterested in Wii action.

During our time away, Lucy was learning a lot. Here is a short list of new things she has discovered:

1) Her finger fits perfectly into her nostril.
2) She can say "Doggie," "Puppy," and "Carter." Still no "Mom" or "Dad." I guess this is meant to keep us humble.
3) She may have inherited her mother's secret super-power: impervious to jet-lag.
4) She likes to stack cups. Endlessly. Perhaps she has a future in Speed Stacking (google that to get crazy videos of kids stacking cups at insane speeds.
5) Cousins are fun!
6) Her feet are size 4. This was discovered while getting her first shoes. Parents also made the discovery that little kid shoes are expensive.
7) She can go down the stairs the "right" way, which is feet first rather than head first. For a while there, she could only go up the stairs, which was not a sustainable plan.

That's all I can remember at the moment; time to do post-trip laundry. We'll try to keep the blog updated in 2009.
