Sometimes I use my computer's camera instead of a mirror.

Power always comes back on at Frank's house before our house.

Power outages bring us all together at Adelle's.

This picture is the only proof we could find that Ollie was actually at daycare today. Some days he's a camera hog. Some days he disappears into the background.

My computer takes pictures backwards.

Daddy cuddles puppy.

Puppy punches daddy.

Daddy recovers while puppy licks his own stuff.

Ollie loves looking out the window

and may very well be the longest dog ever.

Of all the things in this house to eat, Ollie, my computer may very well be the worst.

ALWAYS the dirty kid at the dog park. Today, he led all the other dogs into the mud puddle before he claimed his place as king of the upside down empty doggie pool. Thank goodness his dirt repellent fur makes the mud magically disappear within a couple hours :)

Last night I hosted a (not during Passover) Seder as a multicultural event for twenty counseling students. I suppose I need to clean the kitchen now.

Ollie found a yummy cardboard box.

Yep.

Ollie and Ben both love snow.

I and A came for a visit, which was great! Ben got to go to Freeport two days in a row. I was exhausted/cranky/silly the whole time. Weird day. Anyway, I wanted to get in this display, but was convinced not to.

Ben went to Freeport with friends while I stayed home and did homework on Valentine's Day, so he came back with this awesome shirt for me from the Patagonia outlet. Best Husband Ever.

I'm a cruel puppy mama and love to tie pieces of fleece around Ollie's legs so he can untie them himself. He's good at puzzles! I think it's fun for him!

This is what I look like when I sleep, and sometimes when I do school work.

This seems to be a picture of my floating head on the floor next to the couch. I'm sure that's not actually what's going on, but since I'm not sure what is going on, I'll leave it at that.

I think this is America's Test Kitchen and I think they're making chocolate chip cookies, but I wouldn't swear to it.

Ollie, if you stop licking your hurt toenail, you won't have to wear that lovely Elizabethan collar anymore!

Carrot parsnip cake is fabulous (as are baking dates with fun friends)!

During the Superbowl, Ollie and Juneau played nice, despite the fact that Ollie invited himself onto her bed. We've gotta teach that boy some better etiquette.

Also, Juneau is not so camera shy:

After the show, we stayed at R and K's apartment and met their cat, Sylvester, who seems as if he may have udders. Sweet boy, though.

Knowing that I had made people call me Queen Elizabeth as a child, my former boss bought me this. Appropriately, I drank out of it on the day when I was lucky enough to go see my former students put on a production of Jekyll and Hyde that just blew me away.

Went ice skating today for internship. Got lots of compliments on my blade protector things...

Ben teaches Ollie to balance on two legs with West Wing on in the background.

This is how I felt at the end of this day.

There was a heart in my pancake this morning. Wasn't there a blog or something that started kind of like this?
