basic questions

I had a pre-op phone call that went something like this:

(use your most monotone voice as you read to get the whole effect)

The guy: Hello. Mrs. Harvey.

What. is. your. date. of. birth?

(I answer)

What. are. the. last. four. digits. of. your. social?

(I answer)

What. is. the. name. of. your. doctor?

(I answer)

Are. you. employed?

(I answer)

What. is. your. husband's. name?

(I answer)

Is. he. employed?

(I answer)

Who. is. his. employer?

( I answer: PIXAR)

Him:YOU MEAN LIKE THE MOVIE PEOPLE?!!

Me: ya, cool, huh?

him: Ya!

What. is. the. nature. of. your. surgery?

(I answer: I'm having my stent changed out)

etc. etc.

set in stone

My sister recently went to Rome and saw a carving of none other than Chris! Who knew he was famous?! (and really old)

From Drop Box

Happy Anniversary!

Today marks one year since we moved to Seattle.

To celebrate, we're having salmon for dinner (obviously), and have a toast with sparkling cran-apple juice. :)

Elle and I were trying to decide what to have for dessert.

"something cold" she said.

We both immediately thought the same thing:

ICE CREAM!

Elle's first pet!

Santa brought Elle a fish bowl,fish food, rocks, and a little plant, so we thought we'd better get her a fish to go with it!

His name is "X-Ray"

"Because when you look at him, his colors make it look like an X-ray of a spine and stuff"
She said.

a laugh at my expense

So, tonight, under the influence of sugar, I was thinking how stupid the comeback

"I know I am, but what are you?!" is.

For example, someone says, "You are a moron!" and the proper response is: "I know I am, but what are YOU?!"

Then, Chris pointed out that its' actually "I know YOU are, but what am I?"

I'm thinking I am a moron. Or Blonde, or I guess they go hand in hand.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Now I can show off Elle's Christmas dress. :)
Happily, it came with a dress for her doll too.
Elle fixed her doll and herself before we even woke up!

Elle's Baptism

I know. I know.

But, I finally did it!

Here are some of the highlights:
