The much anticipated

Here is the video of Devin scooting to get around. The video is really telling of his personality. First of all we're using his toothbrush as bait. He loves his toothbrush, it is his favorite toy. He is whining in the beginning of the shot because I took it away from him to make him come get it. Enjoy.

Fortunes, Forecasts, Lucky Charms

It is interesting to me to watch the local news when I travel. I've noticed weather patterns in different places and think about whether it would be exciting or dull to be a forcaster in these places. Hawaii, for example, has lovely weather, but the forcasters have kind of a boring job. They say the same thing every morning: "It's going to be another beautiful day in paradise." The weather is crazy in Utah, and the weathermen are local celebrities. They wear white coats on snow days and things like this. I'm used to hearing them give percentages, like "there is a 60% chance of rain," or "watch for low clouds and a slight chance of snow." But I've never heard a percentage forcast like I did last week here in Seattle. The reporter said, "There is a 100% chance that it will rain on Sunday." Thanks. Thanks for the Likelihood ratio there.

Patty Cake

I'm putting up a picture of Brooklyn and Clark singing Patty Cake. Man, it is cute. I'll put a video up soon of Devin scooting around. Have fun. Love you all.

My washer eats socks!

Seriously. So Damon and I bought a new washer and dryer because they weren't included in the purchase of our house. We bought the shiny, new front loaders. The problem with the front load washer is that mildew can form on the thick belt that is right in front where you load the clothes. Because it is a front loader, the water just sits on the belt after the load is done. I thought of a simple solution: I keep a towel in my laundry room and wipe the remaining water up after a load finishes. I also leave the door open a crack so the inside can dry out a little. We had to leave the lid open between loads with our washer in Salt Lake also, or it would get stinky inside. I went to wipe up some water this morning and noticed that the belt isn't connected on one side, and something was down there. It was two socks! Can you believe it? They were soaking wet, and missing their mates, poor things. All I'm saying is the long time rumor is true. I'm sure of it now, and I'm also pretty sure that all of your washers and/or dryers have a specially built compartment to hide and eat your socks also. Theory proven.
