Signed and Sealed

We drove to San Antonio today for the finalization of Django's adoption. He's officially ours! (Of course, we already knew that.)

Judge Nellermoe says it is so:

With our lawyer, Jane Hall:

Django, lookin' fine in his little suit:

I am one very happy mama now!

Little Bro

I love this picture Tillie took of her little brother.

Bag Lady

Scott took off for a five day trip for a conference. This means that it is just me and the kids. I have a new respect for single moms!

Speaking of respect...I deserve some for making these awesome tiny bags for one of Scott's toys. He came up with the basic design, but I'm feeling pretty darn proud of how well I executed his vision. Two are made of wool felt and hemp cord. The other is a fine burlap with thick poly thread. These are the prototypes that the Chinese factory will copy for the final run. I can't wait to see the factory versions of my own handiwork!

The toy was made for an artist named Jeff Soto. Below is what the toy looks like without its little bag. I mean, jeez, what is he going to carry his rocks in?!

Unhappy Birthday

We did this a year ago, but then, Camile was here to celebrate with us. She would have loved to see Django enjoy his first swim in her mom and dad's pool.

The food was delicious, dear Camile, but crying at dinner is never fun.
