Langy gets his groove on

Snapping out a rhythm (sort of)

Langdon has always demonstrated a preference for certain kinds of music.  As an infant, his cries were immediately calmed upon hearing Dee Snider of Twisted Sister shout "I wanna rock!" ().  Seriously.

Good Bye, Farewell to October

October is gone and I am glad.  Very glad.  Maybe it was the lack of sleep, or Travis' suddenly non-starting car, or the constant candy coma that everyone in my house was in, or the snotty noses, or the mysterious bruises on Langdon's head, or whatever -- but I feel better already simply because it is no longer October.  I was looking back at the pictures from October to see what we had done.  So here goes.

Back to Kindergarten

This morning, Karsten and I scarfed down some oatmeal, put on our jackets, and set off into the crisp autumn air to walk to school.  When we arrived, we hung our gear on a shared coat hook and entered the classroom together.  No, I wasn't being the over-protective parent -- I was there on official business.  It was my first stint as a kindergarten parent-volunteer.
