The 7th Book!!...

It's finally here!



A good time was had by all at the Harry Potter Party at 12:00 midnight last night...yes, we all stayed awake...even Emmett... to hear the first chapter read in the car on the way home.
All very exciting.




You will also notice Mac's new short hair. (boohoo, its sad to say goodbye to the longer hair of ages 3-8) It actually looks great on her and saves us much brushing grief!!

Our Harry Potter predictions:
Ginny and Snape will die, both trying to save Harry. At this point I also think Dumbledore is still alive somehow...so does Matt (obviously wishful thinking!)
I hope it's not Ron that dies but we know two main characters gotta go...maybe Harry AND Ginny? but part of me thinks it may also be...OK I know nothing but somehow Ginny's love of Harry has gotta mean something...
aaaaaaaaah!
The great part about J.K. Rowling's writing is that the plot is compelling but the writing is better so it's not just about what happens but HOW it happens!
Time to start reading!

Pablo is 6!!



Happy Birthday!!



(pablo 2 months, Emmett 7 months)
Lauren reminded me that 6 years ago I was watching Aida while Lauren was in the hospital having Pablo. It seems like yesterday.
Now he's such a great kid. Such a good friend to Emmett!
We love you Pablo. Happy Birthday!

Silas' Official First Word!!!


"BIRD"



...and all because of those kindergarten zebra finches who continuously chirp and tweet and are currently laying eggs and nesting.
The picture is of the mobile made in honor of the bird that is indeed the word.
(We've been trying all day to get Silas to say "bird" on bloggable video but no such luck. It is so frickin' cute, though.)
