Firsts

2010 has been a year of firsts for me.
I took a year-long course about sheep and fibre (sort of a 'shephardry lite' class.) I learned about sheep diseases, breeding, lambing, shearing, herding, and fibre prep. I got to hold and feed a tiny baby lamb. I herded a grumpy ewe from the field to the barn without a dog or a halter. I loved it immensely and ( Read more... )

Well hey! Congratulations from Thar and me, the last two facebook holdouts.
Hope you and yours are doing well.

Thank you! We're doing very well now that we've discovered how to function on a minimal amount of sleep. (It's not that bad, actually... For the time she was born, Amelia would happily sleep for four hours at a time over night.)

What did I do in 2010 that I'd never done before?

Nommed wee little Amelia hands and cheek due to her being teh cute of all cute ♥

For 2011, I look forward to:

• More baby noms. I hear toes are particularly tasty.
• Kidnapping you for the promised massage.
• Learning more SAS and STATA-y goodness.
• Poking about and investigating PhD options.
• A summer that doesn't involve 2 am work phone calls.
• Generally being sloppy happy with life.

I had no idea about the baby, congrats! It does get somewhat eaier, she will sleep through the night but she will also get heavier and harder to carry so that's a trade off.

Some people have easy births, otheers spend three days in labor and never dilate past 3 cm. (that would be me).

We have to discuss the nuts and bolts of brewing, someday. By "discuss" I mean "Sel lectures j00, because she has no clue how the process works at all." Designing your own beer is awesome, though! I hope it turns out well.

We miss you and Lauren. And Cobi. (I have yet to meet Ommegang. He looks very hugable, though.)

Congrads on the baby-hatching! I wish you luck, love, and SLEEP.

I don't think we're connected via Facebook, but that's ok cuz I only check that blasted site like twice a month.

Thanks, Marni! She's slept through the night for the last 2, so heeeere's hoping!
