Who's Two Months Old?

I am!!

Product Placement

I don't usually recommend activities, venues, products or services here. I just don't want my tens of readers to think I've sold out to The Man by marketing stuff on my blog. Also, I don't have enough readers for anyone to give me anything for free in exchange for my endorsement. C'mon, let's be honest...

I will most definitely make an exception for the Durango Discovery Museum.

Just to be clear, they did NOT give me anything for free.

My parents got an "extended family membership", which means that not only can they take the girls there but anyone related to them can (meaning Mark, me and even my brother). Considering that for her very first experience there Norah only explored a tiny corner of the place for an hour and a half and had no desire to leave, I'm gonna say the pass was definitely worth it. This is going to be a great place to go when the weather prevents outside activities, plus it's educational!!

The passes are on sale until March first. After that they go up to regular price. The whole place is funded by grants and private donations. It looks to us like they did a fantastic job of using funds to their full potential.

So, Durango friends, even if you miss the sale I'd say the donation to a good cause (not to mention the fun you'll get out of it) is probably worth the price.

Just Wondering...

Hey Mom,

Waddaya mean?

"Hold still and smile?"

Entertainment System...

...also known as Big Sister.

I hope Norah is as willing to help out with her adoring little sister when she's 15... but I'm not holding my breath

Teeny Tiny

Norah commented while Penny was crying the other day, "She has a teeny tiny tongue, Mom."

Observant little thing, isn't she?

Who's the Smarty Now?

Our cell provider recently scored something of coup in the tech world. They now offer a certain phone that was previously available exclusively through a different provider. If you're in touch with technology (or if you watch commercials) at all, you now know exactly who provides our cell service and which phone we recently upgraded to (thanks to the fact that we'd been eligible for an upgrade since last Sept and had been holding out for The Big News).

This is my first experience with a smart phone. Apparently all of my other phones have been dumb. I have to say I'm enjoying it! Not only is my phone a phone, it's a music player, a camera, a mini internet capable computer, and now a mobile blogging device! Yes, apparently there's even an app for that.
The last two posts I did before this one were from my phone. I'm hoping this makes me a more consistent blogger, but I suppose only time will tell.
Anyway, now that I've officially joined the 21st century (and only a decade late!), I finally see what all the fuss is about. My purse is so much lighter now that everything is consolidated on my phone! That was the whole point of all these scientific advances, right? Less back pain and the ability to check my email from anywhere. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that was the point.

Baby Smile!

Penny started smiling on purpose two or three weeks ago. That's pretty early. I think it's even earlier than Norah. If smiling early is any indication of how social she'll be, we're in big trouble!
