2 Peas in a Pod
Or, better yet, 2 Z’s in a paddleboat.

Something smells fishy…and I like it
Many of my family members asked me what I wanted/what was M getting me for my birthday. I practically salivated when I told them, “A 10.5 mm f/2.8 fisheye Nikkor!” They all looked at me like I had three heads. I tried to explain to several people what a fisheye lens is, only to have their eyes glaze over about 10 seconds into it despite my evident enthusiasm.

Zoe and the Arch
Okay, I couldn’t wait. Here’s an image made this morning during our trip to the Arch (duh). That’s Zozer walking there by the Arch. Used muh new fisheye lens, hence the distortion. I have to admit I’m kinda digging the distortion. Thought about messing around with the shot in Photoshop to correct some of it, but decided I like it this way, thankyouverymuch.

Our week “off”
Okay, so I realize I’ve been a little remiss in posting lately. Or a lot remiss. But I have a good excuse! Really! M was on forced-vacation this week (his company’s attempt to save money without laying people off – I’m good with that…as long as he has a job to go back to!) and with no looming deadlines, I decided to join him. We did a staycation, essentially, and became tourists in our own hometown while also getting a lot of stuff done around the house we’ve been meaning to get to for over a year and half since grad school started.

Gavin
It’s been a week of babies for M and me! We met Jane Wednesday night, and last night we caught up with little Gavin, who is now 8 weeks old and managed to convince his mom and dad (Tiff and Doug) to finally bring him to the Lou.

Daddy takes Zoe to the ballgame
Daddy and Zoe went to the Cardinals game last Sunday…a real Daddy/Daughter bonding day. Hard to tell who had more fun, really. It’s quite obvious that Zozer is becoming quite the Cardinals fan – even though she slept through most of the actual game. By doing things like letting her have her Cardinal red popsicle before lunch, M is in full baseball mentoring mode. And he says I train my young?!

Got to meet our newest cousin tonight. Welcome to the world, Jane Isabella. We’re sure excited to finally see you. Congratulations to your mom and dad, and all your grandparents and new aunts and uncles. You are surrounded by an extraordinary amount of love, and we can’t wait to watch you grow. Love to you, and to your parents.

Gratitude
I’m working on a new promotion for work that revolves around the idea of gratitude, so I’m searching for appropriate quotes about gratitude on the Internet today.

Our lives in medical terms
Now that the term is over (law final finished Wednesday night – wahoo!), I get to move on to more fun, exciting things. Like wrapping up the paperwork for our new life insurance policy.

The term is almost over!
The software we use to run our business shows an inspirational quote every time you log in, which is kind of cool.
