Tonight marks the very first night Bailey and netta have ever fall

asleep without sucking their thumbs. It's an extraordinary thing and

we are so proud of them!!! We put some horrible tasting stuff on their

thumbs and in a move of solidarity me and Arthur and Jessica put it on

our thumbs, too. It's repulsive tasting. A strong deterrent. Anyway,

just wanted to make this post for the record, it's a major moment in

their small lives. And something we all are proud of!

It was a real fun time.

Well, sadly, I failed to get a photo of beautiful and super-old Jessica on her birthday (Dec 26th). Can’t believe I’m actually married to someone in their 40’s. So embarrassing. At 39 at least I can help Jessica stay connected to the younger generation.

Anyway, as is our new family tradition, we went to the art museum on her birthday. Here’s Netta and a real big dog.
