You won't find them on a shortbread tin, but our ancestors live on so long as we keep telling their stories. Scots, Yanks, Canucks and the Auld Enemy. Newest posts are the ancestors, but scroll for the living.

i’ve been putting off writing this post, because i’ve been sorta hoping that sparklet would stop. it’s been three months. she hasn’t.sparklet likes flicking people off — a lot.
she does it dozens of times a day, even though we’ve only been called on it a handful of times — comments from strangers like “bet you can’t wait for her to pick a different finger” or “that must make you nervous to walk her east of 14th street.”
yup, and yup.

firsts: walking with a walker

while this is technically her second time walking with some kind of mechanical assistance, it’s the first time we’ve gotten video.(video from Rose Park, in Georgetown.)

video: outake
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCQomotAm-A
up until this weekend, i was about two months behind on stitching together videos — and i’m starting to understand how people end up with stacks and stacks of mini-dv tapes piled up on a shelf, collecting dust.but, before you watch any of the rest of the videos, watch the outtake above. laugh-out-loud funny. in hindsight.
- stairs — sparklet is moving up and down stairs like nobody’s business. of course, we don’t have any, so we have to borrow the stairs at the playground.
- baby/birds in a bucket — the full session that produced the (hilarious!) outake above.
- bubble gum — two rules, do something cute and don’t eat the camera. did okay on the first. not so much on the latter.
- sparklet’s first film — it’s a little avant guarde. or maybe just weird for the sake of being weird. but who am i to judge?
