Hand, Hand, Finger, Thumb

Happy solstice, everyone! It's a rainy, dark day here in Portland, and we're glad the days will be getting longer and lighter from here on out. Here's the latest news from the homestead.

Imogen, now 14 weeks old, has found her hands! Here she is examining them with much concentration.



Nana and Atman are currently visiting us for the holidays, and we're having a lovely time. Here they are doing some Tai Chi in our living room with Elliot.



Elliot has also expanded his show repertoire from Jack's Big Music Show and Maisy into the world of Blue's Clues (the main reason being that Blue also peeks out of the credits at the end of the show, just like Mel the dog does on JBMS). Here he is imitating Blue on the credits, with Nana and Atman getting in on the action, as well.



And in a follow-up to my last post, the NYU Ransom Notes ad campaign has been pulled. You can read their explanation here. And here is a link to the article about the cancellation of the campaign in the New York Times. Thanks to everyone who wrote letters asking that the campaign be reconsidered.

We hope you all have a very happy holiday this week. Stay tuned for pictures of the Christmas festivities here at the McElroy abode.
