My do-over

That's what I call my little squirrel. She looks like me but waaaayyyy better. Smarter too, at least that's my goal. I've come up with the three things that I think are most urgent for her to know as she grows up. Now, these are subject to change, but I think I'm off to a good start:

1. Do unto others as you would have done to you. As far as I'm concerned, this is the only religion you need. 

2. There is always less time than you think to get things done. 

3. Always spend less than what you have. 

It's damn hard to be mostly alone and find yourself responsible for the way someone turns out. But I look forward to the challenge. And I am so exited that we will be spending our first birthday together this coming week. Yippie! Happy birthday to US. 

No, I'm still alive...really!

Can you spell s-l-a-c-k-e-r? OMG, it's been months and I feel like a major flake. But Susan up in Cape Cod with her new hip website and blog has motivated me to get off my butt and resume!

Avah has grown her first teeth and will be 1 year old in less than 2 weeks. Where does the time go?

I'll be posting pictures later...you'll see!
