Happy New Year's Eve...
Owen had declared 2007 The Year of Writing, and oh, it was so. It was also the year of Toddlerhood, of Mama-Returning-to-Academia, and of the fun and festivities of Tuesday Night.
I have a feeling 2008 will be quite an auspicious one for us all around. Stay tuned...
Much love to all our friends and relations...
Jodi, Owen and Arden

I'm pretty sure Santa's going to bring me what I want for Christmukah...if only I can figure out what I want.
Arden was Extraordinarly Scared of Owen-as-Santa. She knew it was him--the whole way over she said "My daddy turning into Santa!" But the costume, the booming voice, scared the absolute shit out of her. She did NOT like it. She did NOT want to sit on his lap. Poor girl...
Sad Arden #1
And for those who missed the earlier incarnations of Arden-Sits-On-Santa-Dados-Lap...
Here's Last Year
And here's 2005
Slightly guilty mamafeeling--I plonked her on his lap to get the photo because I really like the sad-kid-with-santa image. But she was *really really* sad. I feel a bit bad. Not too bad, but a bit bad...
The walk home in the stroller, she and I had a long conversation about the whole thing. She told me that the other kids "went to Moxie to sit on my dad's lap," but that it made her "scared and sad." Poor thing...
