You know you're spending too much time on Facebook when you start thinking in status updates. Maybe you have an interesting interaction with a stranger at the grocery store, or something clever occurs to you out of the blue and you think, wow, that would make a great status update! And then you think about updating your status for the entire drive home until you can get to your computer and log on to Facebook for the umpteenth time that day. It's pathetic, really. But I love it.
So here are a few status updates for you.
First up, a picture of Elliot's stitches. He got them out this morning with a few tears but plenty of cooperation. Here's our little Harry Potter.
We also got our first snow of the season this weekend. Portland completely freaks out when it snows. Sometimes it's warranted, like when we get an ice storm and you can't even walk out your front door without slipping on a 3-inch thick slab of ice. But most of the time it's kind of amusing to listen to the meteorologists talk about less than an inch of snow like it's an apocalyptic blizzard. Being from Colorado, it's annoying to have your kid home from school when the only thing on the street is a few snowflakes and the random patch of ice melting in the sun. Granted, some areas of town get hit harder than others. And believe me, even if you're one of those folks who grew up driving in snow, you do not want to be on the road with the rest of Portland's residents who don't know how to handle a car on ice.
So here's what Elliot did with our inch of snow.
In other news this week, Miss Idgie turned 15 months old. Her newest tricks are climbing up onto chairs and going backwards down the stairs at warp speed. She gets into more trouble than her brother ever did at this age! Here are two sets of 15-month sibling comparison photos.
And I just couldn't resist showing you this last picture, despite the overexposure. This is Imogen reaching for the camera.
We also put up our tree this past weekend and decked the halls - pictures to come soon! And y'all will have to wait a bit longer for video of Elliot's school holiday concert. It was scheduled for tomorrow but has been canceled due to "snow" (seriously, we're supposed to be hit with a doozy tomorrow - I'll believe it when I see it!). Look for storm confirmation in my next status update!

If you really live for the status updates, you'll love twitter. I never update fb directly; all of my twitter posts also update my fb status.
OK Brittney, Iggy totally looks like you in the 2nd purple shirt picture. I'm sure I've seen you make that face before!
