Clothes Swap



Tuesday night was the local semi-annual twins clothes swap. J. and I may never have to buy Sadie and Jack a single piece of clothing. I got an entire trash bag full of clothes for them. I also got this fantastic activity mat. It's so much fun watching them play with toys now!

Date Night


J. and I took advantage of Pud's visit to have a date night. Since dates are pretty rare these days we decided to go big and go horseback riding at the Sunset Ranch. We rode from the Hollywood Hills, thru Griffith Park, to a restaurant in Burbank and back again. It was a ridiculously long ride, but the ride back in the dark was worth it. It was a beautiful night and amazing to have the park to ourselves. The photo above is from one of the stranger aspects of the ride, which is having to cross a capped landfill, which is now a methane field. We also had to ride thru tunnels under the freeway to get to Burbank. Despite the bizarre territority and feeling a bit out place on horse, we were not too happy to find out that the helmets were requirred.

Hand in mouth


Putting their hands in their mouths is the new thing for Sadie and Jack. It's a pretty exciting development because it means that they have some understanding that their hands are connected to their bodies and have gained some control over their movements. It's not exactly consciousness of the self, but we're still pretty proud of them.
