From Left Field

She-Twin:
"So Mom, who was fatter: William Howard Taft or Cass Elliott?"

[We don't advocate use of the "f" word Chez Lage. We prefer "plump" or "chubby." So who WAS fatter? I just guessed....]

Makes My Monday: Welcomes & Wellness

When Double Daddy returned home from the hospital Friday afternoon, our room was wrapped all the way around with a paper chain---on each link written by Darren, Sarah, Grandma or me is the name of someone praying for Scott (including many of you!). Within two hours, a florist knocked on the door with a beautiful arrangement of flowers and a large scroll tied with a yellow ribbon. Upon unfurling it, we saw the well-wishing signatures of Sarah and Darren and all their support-lending second grade classmates. An hour later? Food. Lots and lots of delicious prepared meals from Scott's colleagues---his friends and mine---at work.

My Monday---my MONTH---is made.

Baby Picture Sunday: Why I'm Thankful

Playing along with Debi of WhoSays8isEnough? on this Baby Picture Sunday. Found this picture of Daddy and his little girl in the very first hours of her life (clock actually indicates she was almost 6 and a half hours old). They are two of my primary three reasons for thankfulness today.

Enjoy the rest of your Thanksgiving weekend, Friends!
