Welcome to the world Alexandra Dorothea! I love your name! Congratulations, Juliana!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Last week, I noticed that a spider had built a web right next to our front doorstep. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a redback. They're not aggressive spiders, but right by the front door isn't entirely comfortable, so it is now an ex-spider.

Last night I noticed that there was now a web on the other side of the doorstep. A second redback. It may be about time to ge the house treated for spiders.

Very, very happy news indeed. Welcome, Alexandra Dorothea, and congrats to Juliana.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hooray, baby Alexandra!!!

It may be about time to ge the house treated for spiders.

Our outdoor spiders who set up webs at the back door seem to have all left for the winter. Which means the damn mosquitoes can get in the back door. I need to import a hearty winter spider.

There is in fact an eight-legged solution to our problem too. Redbacks get eaten by another spider - of all things, daddy long-legs. Sadly, I haven't seen any of them yet this year.

Welcome Alexandra! Congratulations to her mom and dad!

Today is the day we get to bring our dogs to school, but it is raining out so my husband is bringing Salsa in later. For this favor, I may have to go to a Dallas Stars game tonight. As a Sabres fan, I am obligated to note that Brett Hull was in the crease.
