Month four is upon us!

It simultaneously feels like 20 years ago and yesterday that Viola came to join us. This goes without saying, I suppose. And if it seems like a long time ago that I was gigantically pregnant, I have only to glance at my midsection, which looks like bread dough that has just been punched down for the second rise, to remember that it was only a short three months ago that I pushed out a little person I grew in there. Here's hoping that by month six I will be reporting a belly that is, if not taut, then at least non-mushy. I'm not going to lay off the non-dairy Newman-O's to get there, however.
Today I sit in our sunny living room with my daughter sleeping on my lap, feeling victorious

Craters

Every time Joe tells me the craters are scheduled to come to M-Space tomorrow, I imagine this:
But it's really just humans who build crates around stuff for shipping. In this case, the stuff is electric glassblowing equipment for a cruise ship. If Joe keeps at this, we will live in a world where not one cruise ship patron has to endure a cruise without watching live glassblowing.
The equipment itself is super cool looking. I wonder if it's ok for me to post a picture here? Joe is sleeping, so I can't ask him.
Uh, it's sideways, but you get the idea. My new computer doesn't have any photo editing software on it yet.

On wearing sports-team clothing

We are all hoping to imprint part of ourselves on Viola, and this is my brother Adam's contribution:
This outfit is for cheering games at Wrigley Field. He also gave her an "away" onesie, for supporting the Cubbies on the road, in addition to a complete Green Bay Packers outfit.

I'm proud to say that I have sold Viola's image for a few Oompa bucks.
