  • easter morning

    []
    sparklet and i spent easter morning at the zoo, in a noble effort to give mommy another couple of hours worth of sleep.

    as mid-day naps from baby seem to be in short supply, both mommy and daddy are a little strung out.

    of course, that didn’t stop us all (and i mean *all*) from staying up to watch baby momma’s baylor lady bears serve as a speed bump on UConn’s way to the championship game.

    i’m sad to say, but easily the best part of the game was when 6’4″ tall espn reporter rebecca lobo put her shoes back on after towering over uconn’s descended-from-garden-gnomes coach during a halftime interview … even with her shoes off, the camera man couldn’t find a way to keep them both in the same frame.

  • good friday

    unlike last year, we didn’t go to awesomest Good Friday pagent ever — sparklet was in bed asleep — but Darrow Montgomery from the City Paper went and shot a couple of rolls.

    my favorite is the guys with the lightsaber in the middle.

  • firsts: baby food

    []
    i’m uploading these photos in September, over five months and a week after they were taken.

    why? well, i just found them. apparently, i thought that the event — sparklet eating her first baby food, sweet potatoes — was important enough to use the “big” camera, instead of the crappy point and shoot we usually use.

    unfortunately, it took the lady sparkler absconding with the crappy camera — and sparklet then falling into her toy box — for me to be roused to find the “big” camera again, and discover the long lost photos.

    whoops.

    sparklet’s latest trick … we don’t know exactly what it means (yet) but our leading guesses are that she’s either tired or hungry. unfortunately she makes the noise all the time, so either of those two options could very well be true.
