One of Anais’s classmate’s moms works at the Blanton. She just sent us this wonderful photo, taken a few months ago when we took Anais and their photographer was snapping pics.

Anais and Casey, 3 in DC
Maile, Anais and I went home to DC for Presidents’ Day Weekend. As you’ll see here, Anais and Casey made pancakes, played upstairs with the door closed, did backflips, rode the subway, played ball, and went to the Museum of Natural History and saw the giant squid, among other things.

The Lodge On Regulus at the Whip In
My buddy Gray’s band, The Lodge On Regulus, played a few blocks from my place at the Whip In tonight and it was made a great scene by the cool vibes (Gray Parsons) and sax (Thomas van der Brook), drums (Donny Wynn) and bass (Tom Benton). I caught some nice audio on my recorder. Jody went with me, Derek met us there. This is why I moved to Austin.

Here is a sketch and song for Brigham, the 1.5 yr old grandson of my cousin Carolyn.
Brigham, Brigham, doin little num nums
Sweet little tum tum fingers and toes

Cute patuti bum bum we love so
Briggsie, Briggsie, eat you like a figsie
You mommy and you daddy love you so bigsie
Briggsie Briggsie, you squeaky little pigsie
You’re jiggin we’re a diggin, oh we’re wiggin out

Blowin on your belly and kissin your hair

Your laughter is a heaven and your breath is a prayer

Love you, love you, never enough of you
Sleep my little fiddle we’ll awaken to more
