cheers

we've had a bottle of champagne taking up precious real estate in mom's refrigerator but were adamant about waiting till our house sold to pop the cork. ziggy had a teeny weeny taste last night, not a fan but he liked to cheers.

james teare

1915-2009. ziggy's great grandpa, we wish ziggy had the chance to meet such an amazing person. we'll miss you.

sold our house

and how does it feel? FREAKING GREAT! like the dark cloud above my head has passed and an anvil has been lifted off my shoulder. mark's home early so i'll be out celebrating if you need to find me.

total splurrrge

i bought this marc jacobs jacket and it was a total splurge. this is what i want to do this season though. maybe not as extreme with one dress, but with the stuff i already have. no more purchases, lets see if it's do-able. ahhh it's written down and now i must comply.

sunday sunlight

some awesome photos by markiepoo.

piggy bank

ziggy likes dropping the coins in the piggy bank.

weekend words

new words from this weekend: doggy, kitten, baby, bye-bye, shoe, uh-oh, poo poo, nana (for banana) but his favorite word right now by far is daddy.

great falls

this past weekend we went to great falls, but on the maryland side. the minnows are like piranhas. they scare me.

sadie time

yesterday we had a sleepover with our favorite niece sadie. she's 10. she likes chocolate milkshakes, sopapillas, quality girl time away from her brothers and writing. she doesn't like anything strawberry, brushing her hair or sticky hands.

screensaver

hi yalls. here's a desktop screensaver that mark made. it's called ziggyjuice.

f.o.b.

what a beautiful day today! the birds are chirping the sky is bright and the air is breezy. and there's a mini turck on ziggy's shirt.

remote control car

this is a new toy grandma kim bought him. it's a tiny remote controlled car and he loves it! especially if he's running the car into my foot.

remembering dad

i can't believe it's been three years since dad passed away. every year we've been remembering his passing with a traditional memorial service where we set out lightly seasoned food (ghosts don't like strong flavors especially garlic), incense (the kind you smell at buddhist temples), offer him beer by swirling it over the incense counterclockwise 3 times, and a lot of bowing. we also leave the front and back door open so he can fly in and out of the house. after the third year it's believed that the spirit leaves earth and heads off to bigger and better things. we love and miss you dad, hope you got to eat some deliciousness before finally heading up to find peace.
