Some cool retro posters from the movie Up just came out to coincide with the recent DVD release. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, rent it! It’s good! It will make you cry. And laugh.

Darby turned 4 over the weekend. We had some friends over the house to celebrate. It was a fun day!

I make this cute tree stump cake after seeing Heidi of My Paper Crane do one for her son.

Darby very seriously contemplating his wish before blowing out the candles.
Designed the Haru Bangs CD cover a while ago, but just got around to posting it now. My inspiration came from old sci-fi book covers. Noah did the silkscreening and stitched the sides.

Darby’s favorite story is the tortoise and the hare, so Noah whipped up this furry costume for him. Darby boogied his butt off at a Halloween dance party then later went trick or treating with a pal.

I stumbled across this blog, My Parents Were Awesome, where people submit pics of their folks. I don’t know why I find it so compelling, but I absolutely love looking at all the pictures.



Today was a dreary rainy day, so Darby and I decided to go to the movies. We went to see Where The Wild Things Are. We had a fun time, whispering together, giggling, eating gummy worms and watching the movie. It was so beautiful and I did tear up at the end, just for a second. I wasn’t sure if Darby would find it interesting enough to hold his attention, but he really liked it.

We got a new kitty this week. She was dumped on Noah’s mother’s doorstep. Since Sarah knew we were currently without a cat, she graciously drove 9 hours to give Darby his new pet. Darby promptly named her Chair. I’m not a huge fan of the name, so I like to call her Chairman Meow on the down low. Which, I admit, is a pretty ridiculous name as well.
