I lost 2 more pounds, beating my goal to weigh 185 by October 7th!

Ruth taught herself how to jump and now says "Cool!"

Will weighs more than 15 pounds, can sleep anywhere and giggles when he's tickled on his ribs

And I nearly burned the house down by making zucchini bread. I was trying to memorialize our trip to Craters of the Moon and in the process I created this:

Which looks a lot like this: (actually hardened lava from Craters of the Moon)


I wanted to carmelize cinnamon sugar on the top of the bread, but the top rack was too close to the broiler, so after setting the one minute timer, I opened the oven and flames came shooting out at me. Literally, flames were flying out of the oven. So we cut the top off the bread and ate the rest, which was really good.
