Jer's Filming Debut

I will now attempt to upload a video. Caution: Jeremy was the cinematographer and he favors the "Cloverfield" style. There is no audio, just video.

When C grows up . . .

Benjamin put an alphabet puzzle together yesterday. It is a cute puzzle that has each upper-case letter occupying a room in a house. Each room is full of animals and objects that start with that letter. The puzzle also has cut outs of kids wearing t-shirts with the lower-case letters on them. So the letters can be matched.

Anyway, after he put it together, I started asking him questions about the letters. For example, "how are E and F different?" He studied them for a second, then said, "well, when F grows up it will turn into E because it has more lines." He also decided that K will grow into X, C will become G, O will become Q, and P will become B. I thought the cutest was: "When W grows up, it will turn into M because it is upside down." And of course V will become W. He also had some creative ideas for the lower-case letters.

Sigh. Babies all grow up, don't they.

Now That's Lasagne!

Some of Dave's old charges from when he was in Med School came over during the holidays. One of them served a mission in Italy where he learned how to make authentic lasagne. Another one mastered the noodle itself. Check it out.

Casa de Parry closed for renovation

We've had an amazing Holiday Season with nonstop visitors. It all started with the Wright White Elephant Party and guests for a Wright family wedding, and just ended with my parents and sister. Inbetween we had friends (the Pattees, for those who may know them) come from Wisconsin. So we've been to Tombstone and Old Tucson Studios and the Desert Museum and the Tucson Trail . . . all in about a week. Unfortunately my camera batteries are not holding a charge, so I don't have many pictures. What pictures I do have are on the camera . . . somewhere . . . I'm sure I'll find it soon . . .
