Baby's first self portraits




Taking after Michael Daddy, Devon has used the built-in camera on Suzanna Mommy's laptop and snapped these gems. Wait until she can use acrylics!

Devon & her new pal Shel


Mommy was working hard in her "office" - the red couch in our living room - so the kid & Daddy dump a mess of books on the big bed and tear through them. The sight of a book, or a magazine, puts Devon into a frenzy. We settled on The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein and happily paged back & forth through it. She took one look of Shel on the back cover and couldn't stop looking at him. We thought a picture was in order.

The New DJ at Club Tremper



Currently on her playlist: Preservation Hall Jazz Band's "Eh La Bas" and Bebel Gilbreto's latest album Momento during bath time, U2's "Vertigo" for diaper changes, Radiohead's "House of Cards" when it's naptime in the car, and of course, when it's bedtime, it's Ray LaMontagne with Lucinda Williams providing the naptime songs. Springsteen's Seeger Sessions songs - Froggie-went-a-courtin, Buffalo Gals & Pay Me My Money Down - are still, after many hundreds of repeated spins, very popular, as well as the Chicago & The Producers soundtracks. Playtime in the morning we listen to the Singers & Standards & Swing/Big Band channels on Music Choice TV.
