New Pics

Here are a few pics of the girls. Sophie's fun thing to do is pick her own strawberries from the backyard and eating them. She looks like the first picture when she comes in from outside. She is really keeping me on my toes. That girl is into EVERYTHING! Yesterday I found her putting reciepts into the toliet. UHGGG. We're getting things packed up. It finally feels like we're moving. I'm so glad we don't have to do this again for awhile. I'll be sure to email my new address.

Hey everybody,

Here is one story from my final creative manuscript. I hope you enjoy it. (It's not too long.)

Well now, I can't figure out how to add an attachment, so I'll just email it to you. It's called "Stencil."

Hey.

I wanted to update you guys on some fantastic new music I've been listening to. The first is Wilco's new disc, "Sky Blue Sky." It's more like Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, though not entirely. The Shins new disc is great, "Wincing the Night Away." Also, an album called "Selwa." It is a Tibetan singer with ambient sort of music to back her up. It's very relaxing. Your kids might like it. "Mi
Sueno" by Ibrahim Ferrer is great. And, of course, Bjork's "Volta."

Happy listening!

Chad

yes indeed

yeah, that's right...i have nothing better to do than take pictures of my kid everyday and post them on this blog. I am not ashamed of this. okay maybe a little ashamed. but seriously, what is a person supposed to do with a seven month old all day, everyday? no really, i'm open for suggestions. I've taken to simply mimicking her when she's annoying me. real mature, i know. sometimes we lie on the floor and i do a pilates stretch called the happy baby. just two perfectly normal, well adjusted gals laying on the living room floor in the middle of the day.

Here's a picture you all might enjoy. Did I mention that I'm teaching one class at EMU this fall? College writing. I have two stories out at magazines right now. Haven't heard back from either one.

I started a new story this week. It is going well, though I am tending to overwrite. I can take it all out later.
