Our Little Emeline

Well Emeline and I have found some sort of routine. Between bottles, diapers, and naps she sometimes lets me get stuff done. Sometimes she simply demands the colic carry and loud bluegrass. I try to read in the mornings, I just finished "The Omnivores Dilemma" a good look at our current food system. Now I'm reading "Thinking like a Mountain" a biography about Aldo Leopold. I'll probably be reading all the books about Aldo, as the Nature Center has a large collection on the Burlington native. Otherwise time is spent organizing our boxes 'o' stuff and looking up stuff on the Internet. We've also been walking and driving around the area as Amanda plays tour guide. Weekends, we've been working on projects at home and spending time at the Long's (Amanda's folks) doing laundry and taking walks. Also eating all their food, as Amanda's Mom won't stop cooking for us. My parents visited two weekends ago, also cooking for us, and we look forward to visiting my sisters in KC in a few weeks. Here's a few video clips of Emeline being cute and/or fussy.
