Mini-Updates and Sarah's Visit

We love Bumbo!

Haha! Now that I am sitting up I shall only be closer to enacting my diabolical plot. If only Salem would listen to me. Why does he think he gets to be the boss?

We found our foot!

And Auntie Sarah came to visit!

Auntie Sarah! It's supposed to be the baby who's never looking into the camera!

Sarah came down from Chicago on Friday and we hung out all weekend. We worked on a series of books that we are writing for Alliclaus and had a lot of fun trashing the books we found at the library. (BTW, Have you read Rumpelstiltskin's Daughter? It's fabulous.)

Anywho, the visit was much too short, but that's how we do these days. Sarah's very busy, having just finished her thesis and accepting a director's position at her center. Plus she teaches at the community college, so I guess that means I have to get used to the unanswered voicemails. (Bitter much?)

We're planning to go to Chicago in October for a weekend visit, but it seems so far away. Having Sarah come visit is one of my favorite things about living in Kansas City, but when she leaves, it always reminds me of how truly lonely I am out here.

In loneliness news, however, I am meeting not one, but two bloggers this week. I know. I'm scared, too. Hold me.

Aw, come on Mom. How bad can it be? They think I'm cute, right? Well, then I like them already!

That first picture fo her in the bumbo seat is about the cutest thing I've ever seen! She's just so squooshable!

Hope you have fun meeting the two bloggers. And if I'm ever in KC I might have to convince you to meet up for coffee or something. And I have lots of family there so there's a good chance I'll be there eventually. Just to warn you. :)

She is adorable and all grown up now! She is too cute.

Very cute! I also like when Sarah comes back, but don't feel too bad. She doesn't have much time for us anymore either. Stupid responsibilities!
