SNIP - our latest project

Well....we haven't just been sitting around on our butts for the past six months. Well....maybe there was some of that. But really, we've been hard at work on our most recent project.....YES....GROWING OUR VERY OWN ALIEN BABY!!!! Queue scary music.....

AAAAHHHHH!!! As if we thought becoming parents wasn't scary enough, we end up with SKELETOR-IN-UTERO!! Luckily, baby SNIP (Seager-Neel In Progress, thanks to Marin) seems to have at least some human features as you can see by the much more reassuring picture below.

Judging by our recent blogging history, be on the lookout for our next post sometime in April, after SNIP decides to venture out into the real world. Ah, who knows....maybe we'll get inspired and do an update or two before then! :)

Uh....Happy March!

Well....it looks like my blogging has slowed down a little lately, to say the least.  :)  But that doesn't mean we haven't been up to some fun adventures!  Paul bought some cross country skiis and even used them twice!  And because it is nearing spring, we have planted some seeds and they look like they just might survive the great drought of 2009.  (An embarassing episode in bad plant parenting).  Paul built the boxes for the soil blocks and designed and built a cold frame for when they are ready to venture outdoors.  I even helped a little.  And I got to use some power tools.  It reminded me of 7th grade shop.  I can't believe they used to let 12 year olds run band saws.  Do they still do that anywhere????  Crazy.  Anyway...we've got some more seed babies and cold frames on the way and we're all pretty much looking forward to spring break.  Kendal is bringing the wee one up to Seattle soon so we are all excited to get to spend more time with her and Edie.  Maybe I'll even have some pictures for the next blog post, whenever that may be.  :)
