this is from a few days ago, but we're slow to get stuff posted lately. it has something to do with the added difficulty of taking 10 seconds to plug a cord in and then taking another minute or so to actually come here and blog a picture.

we are a lazy family.

but anyway, enjoy the sockity goodness and check out our flickr for the whole sockhands series because finn, it turns out, is something of a puppetry prodigy (say that 10 times fast).

Books for Big Brothers

So--I think it's awesome that the US has moved to being a more caring and decent place (no matter what we see on the news. And I particularly think it's awesome that people have bought gifts for the dub because he's now a big brother and we don't want to leave him out. We did this yesterday (though it was partially to feed our own ugly doll addiction). And if you're reading this and you got a little something for the dub to make him continue to feel special and important in the wake of baby finn, thank you!

But here's something odd that I noticed. Nearly every big brother gift the dub has so far received has been a book! Wild! And in further wildness, this sudden influx of book-receiving has totally coincided with a reading explosion for the dub.  which leaves me pondering in a chicken-and-egg kind of way: did the dub send out a "feed me books" vibe to the universe? or did the appearance of so much new reading material spark the explosion? it all happens so fast...i really have no idea.

either way: hooray for reading!

and have no fear, more finney and pdub pictures coming very, very soon!
