The new things that have happened in the past few weeks around here:

Rowan learned how to open the car door from the outside, so now i don't have to open it for him OR clip him in!
Milo can climb up onto his bed without the stool!
I made my first batch of vegetable stock. Do NOT ask me why it took me so long to do this very simple thing.
We got the box of legos that Rachael and I had as girls out of storage and now my boys are playing with them obsesively.
I got a class where I "have" to read fiction for homework!! (40 YA books)
We've done two small trips in the car without diapers for Milo!
We finally visited our friends who moved from NY to CSprings, it was long overdue.
Rowan and Milo both got sick, and wiped out a week of plans.
I got to go to the Brown Palace for high tea with the Radicals. That was lovely, thanks girls!!
I walked the exhibition floor of the MidWinter ALA conference, surrounded by publishers and librarians!! That was pretty fun, and I got a bunch of advanced readers copies of YA fiction.
