Ellen's first ice cream cone. She got the concept right away.

Toddler Cosmetics Counter

She's learning how to use large yellow and blue stars to highlight her natural features.

Wake up, smell the ... snow?

I feel like a broken record. A cold, wet, white, blizzardy broken record.

Whiteout

March wallops us with another snowstorm. This one looks to be heavy and sticky. We're all so ready for this winter to end.

Networking

The local professional psychology group meets at a fancy tapas restaurant. Here I have a few nibbles before heading off to meet and mingle.

Mussels and clams

My attempt to make cioppino from the America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook was pretty uninspiring. I've decided to blame the recipe.

Making friends

Aww... my Prius has a buddy.

Waiting for spring

The sad, frozen scene in our backyard, during this morning's snow shower.

Just like Paris

I'll have the moules et frites et horsey sauce.

Dumplings galore

Dim sum brunch. One of the dozens and dozens of loaded carts that descended on our table.

She's learned to pull the blanket over her head and hope I go away.

Law office

Waiting in the conference room of an employment lawyer.

Now spit

My dentist isn't kidding around with the giant drum of Listerine.

Red balls

Our hometown megaretailer, Target, has been opening up SuperTargets everywhere. We got two of them within a ten minute drive of our house. I must admit I love having them there.

The magic of greenscreen

Ellen chats with the Count at the Children's Museum Sesame Street exhibit, courtesy of greenscreen compositing. Now to get her into bullet-time!
