  1. oh i love #33! teach 'em young!
    on another note - what kind of stroller is that? do you like it? in the hopes of not driving andy nuts with my obsessing, i am in need of advice on what type to keep my eye out for that could fit a range of baby/toddler sizes, and that won't get stuck in every little rut down our rickety sidewalks. yours looks like a nice one...

    1. our stroller is a graco ... something or other. it's a jogging stroller, which is ironic because i don't really ... jog. i like it a lot - handles very well. i like the 3-wheel strollers much better than 4. my only complaint - and this is going to sound like a complete suburbanite first world problem - it doesn't have any cup holders.

  4. Love the pictures. Also, random sidenote - but yes, while I am still doing a significant amount of laughing, I don't think this season of AD is as good. I'm not a huge fan of the one character focused episodes. I think we're on episode 8 now.

    1. I know! We finally finished it and let me warn you - I was so annoyed with the ending. SO ANNOYED. Maybe it's Ron Howard's payback for the show originally getting canceled...
