Yesterday was N's half-birthday. He's now 8 1/2, even though he thinks half-birthdays are silly and didn't make any fuss about it. To celebrate M and A went to Safeway and bought him black and white cookies.

In other exciting news, we finally ordered our holiday cards. That is one painful process in this house.

M went to school today and had a climbing session in the lower school. She liked it, but it's not like being at Earth Treks.
