Hello Terrible Two's:

It's good to see you again...

...How long do you think you will be staying? -just out of curiosity.

I still haven't bothered to post any projects from the last six months or so, but here's some of it:

These (except the cat) were Christmas presents for Rayona. The heads are Paper Mache, and the bodies are cloth. They take FOREVER, but are fun to do.
Also, Big Baby got new hair, new pajamas and slippers:

There are more pictures on Flickr. That's all for now, really -except we got a dog. Actually that's a REALLY long story of trial and error, and driving all over the north country in search of a good dog for our particular family. Plus, I really wanted a dog for me. The kind of dog I have always dreamed of having. A dog who sticks right next to me, and walks politely on or off a leash. A dog who will be my serious hiking buddy and who likes my kids. We have found that dog finally. She was well worth the wait. I have always wanted this kind of dog. Her name is Penny:

Yay!! A new son:

Ami Jacobson Leipzig (pronounced AH-mee).

7lbs 1oz, 20-1/2".

-A quick, INTENSE, unmedicated hospital birth this time. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you everyone who helped make the experience great -you know who you are! I love you all. More to come. I'm going back to bed.
