We're Moving!

Well, it's finally happened. I've gotten so sick and tired of Blogger, their poor media handling and their unwillingness to make their service easier to use that I've decided to move the blog over to WordPress.

Follow the link to http://www.samandjohn.us for the new home of the old blog.

There is a catch, however. For security reasons (i.e. protection of the children), SAM and I have decided to make the blog private. That means that you'll need a WordPress account and our permission to view the blog.

This shouldn't be hard to do. To get a WordPress account, go to http://wordpress.com/ and sign up, then email SAM or I your WordPress username so we can add you to the list. Many of you whom I know already have WordPress usernames are already enabled.

Don't worry - all family, friends, friends of friends, friends of family, family of friends and pet groomers of cousins by marriage are welcome.

It's just the real weirdo strangers we're trying to keep out (if you don't know who that is, it's probably you).

To entice you to move quickly, we have already posted some very special news on the new blog.

You'll have to go there to see what it is.

We'll see you there!

Silly Dinner Time Antics

Drinking out of her new cup

And today was Sunday again.

I stayed home again for most of the day, while Sarah brought M out to meet some friends on a play date we had arranged last weekend.

I'm not sure where SAM gets the energy to take care of a sick husband all weekend on top of caring for a fifteen month old daughter and maintaining a full social schedule. I'm fairly sure I married some sort of super-woman.

She loves it!

While M and SAM were out this morning, they went to California Pizza Kitchen where the best thing to come out of it was the disposable soda cup (SAM didn't let M drink the soda) which was brought home.

It was the source of much fun during dinner tonight once her milk was placed in it.

One handed requires a bit more concentration

After her fun with the milk was finished (once she had enough milk), M decided it would be fun to try to put her bowl on top of her head.

As you can see, she absolutely loved it.

She even knew to hold still while it was on top of her head in order to keep it there, and she had the biggest smiles on her face afterwards when I showed her the photos off the back of my camera.

Did she join the Shriners?

Margaret is turning into an absolute cut-up, which is hilarious but also very interesting. I find the fact that she is now aware that she can affect other people by how she acts is both a little bit sad, due to the innocence lost, but also extremely cool because it means that we can start teaching her about how her behavior affects others, and hopefully get her trained up to be a good person who thinks about her actions.

In the meantime, though, it's incredibly joyous just to be able to have a good laugh as a family.

No, it's just your every day dinner bowl being worn as a hat
