Part of me thinks that companies should not be spending on money on somewhat useless stuff that looks like this and part of me really likes it. Now we just need those doors that “whoosh” open and closed.
This is just the backup exit button.

she thinks this is hiding
Rhiannon and I like to consider ourselves intelligent people. Is that sort of thing supposed to pass on through genetics?
Programming Note: For anyone waiting for a month 25 letter, it ain’t coming. Monthly letters have been retired. Hopefully now I won’t feel any pressure to hold stuff back to save for the letter and can post little tidbits like this one more often.
start rolling
There are a few boys in our neighborhood who ride scooters around in the evenings. Some of them just ride around the sidewalks around their houses and we see some of them coasting down the bigger hills and walking back up, just to do it again. At first, I thought it was kind of weird that they would ride down and walk up, over and over, but then I remembered sledding. And skiing. Say no more.
Brooklynn watches anything an older kid does with great interest. When she sees these kids out riding, she gets pretty excited. She holds her hands out in front of her, lifts one leg up and down, and yells one word over and over. I thought that word was “Stroller”, meaning “I want to get in my stroller and have you push me over to where those boys are riding their scooters”, but I was at a loss to explain her actions. The only think I could think of was that she was kickstarting a moped, but that didn’t make any since since she’s never seen anyone ride a moped1.
Rhiannon figured out that she was really saying scooter and that her actions were pantomiming holding the handles of a scooter and pushing with one foot. And that’s actually exactly what it looks like 2. It seems that somewhere, she learned what a scooter was and wants one of her very own.
I think we’re might be going shopping this weekend. What happened to our little girl?
why we love summer
Every time we visit somewhere tropical, I have to find reasons to justify why we live where it snows and gets cold for half the year.
Days like today do very little to make me think snow is a good idea.

no such thing?
I know that it’s a reward for some of the work I do and finishing up a project, but when the company takes you out during the day, it really kind of feels like a free lunch.
