Gone Phishing!!!

If you haven't heard Phish has gotten back together after a few year off and are touring this summer.

As of 10 am this morning Jilly scored us tickets to the Asheville Show on June 9. Hooray!! (Thanks Susan!)

We're accepting applications for sitters at this time.

A New Day

Today my son and I watched history in the making. It was beautiful. I feel a burden has been lifted from my consciousness. When I would look at him, it wasn't just the normal adorable Deacon, I'd think of all that he is, all he will see and know and be. Enough gush. Yay Obama! I hope you're happy too!

Picture time!



***Video time!




*** Starred items are extra fun!

101

One hundred and one. No, it's not Deacon's current temperature (although he is still fighting off a nasty virus that invaded our family this past weekend). It's the one hundred and first post on Deacon's blog!

As previously mentioned, we've been sick. Not fun. And my semester started Monday. Me = busy. So please excuse our absence. It pains me to say it, but I don't have any pictures for you at this time. What a jip! Right?! Well, it is what is it peeps.

I guess I just wanted to drop in and say "hey," because I've been kinda jealous since Jill started making hundreds of friends on Facebook. Our friend Alex warned Jill that, "Facebook is like crack." Dude - super-crack. I'm afraid that Deacon is going to become a crack baby because of Facebook!

Of course I'm kidding. I know my brand of humor doesn't always translate well online, so I don't want anyone to actually think we're turning Deacon into a crack baby and that's why we don't have any pictures right now. It's definitely not because of that.

Matt's planning tip: The inauguration of Barack Obama is less than a week away. Do you know where you're going to watch the ceremony?

We're back

Hello and Happy New Year to all of our faithful blog followers!
2009 - it'll be fine.

We got back in on Friday and we're still unpacking (it's Sunday night). What a trip! It was long, but Deacon handled it like a pro, sleeping for 10 of the 13 hours to my home in NY and keeping that same routine for most of our other trips. All of that driving was worth it. I think the thing that is so special about our trip home for the holidays is that we get to be with all of these wonderful people who we love and who love us. There really is nothing more you could ask for.

One thing we heard again and again on our trip was that you really enjoyed our blog. Thanks! We enjoy sharing our life with Deacon with you. Keep checking in and I'll keep posting (maybe Jill will do one again too).

I think there's too much more to say and it's 11 o'clock and I get to return to work tomorrow, so I'm calling it a night.

There were a lot of pictures so I decided to break them up into 3 groups. Here they are from Farmington, to Canton, to Dayton.
