Gone, Baby, Gone!

We officially have no babies in the house. Chloe started hatin' on her crib last week and we decided she could graduate to a toddler bed. She and Harrison stayed up as late as usual, but now we have two darling children coming out every ten minutes to tell us "one more thing." Here are some pictures of Chloe and the crib Jeff just threw in the dumpster under the cover of darkness.

And the interview goes to . . .

Well, here we go. Jeff sent his application for residencies off last night. Now we sit and wait for people to ask him to come and interview. He finally narrowed it down to thirty places. He doesn't want to say where he's applying because of the awkwardness that inevitably follows when things don't work out. So, maybe he'll let me say where he's getting interviews. I keep telling him, "Now don't be nervous. Just remember, everything depends on this."

How to Name a Blog

I've discovered that naming a blog is a lot like naming a child. You don't want it to get made fun of once everyone meets it. You don't want it to sound ordinary or too extraordinary. So many factors to consider. In the end, we went with something that made no sense and made us laugh: Brain Jail. Enjoy.
