Ben accidentally locked Avery out when he went for a bike ride last week. I got home, grabbed Aves and we ran some errands - only to find Ben sitting on the porch when we returned. He was genuinely locked out. Not planned - but perfect. Avery was thrilled and felt like they had a locked-out bond.

When Eden's babysitter came over we had just gotten the stroller out. When I came back 2 1/2 hours later, they were still out walking Pig. She had a fantastic time, and a "fantastic" sunburn.

AIGA 100 Show.
Three of Ben's art pieces won a place in Salt Lake's professional design association's yearly award show. One of the pieces won the Copper Ingut (one of the top 10 pieces.) I was a very proud - and very pregnant - wife.
