what we're up to

• We've been swimming a lot.  D's now comfortable going under water (with goggles on) and N can paddle around with a swim noodle.

• Zot! is finally out.

• We've been having a great time playing Boom Blox.  I really like the cooperative play mode, which is a good level of difficulty for D and me -- hard enough that we have to work at it, but easy enough that we can in fact solve the puzzles.  We're clearly not the only ones who like it -- it was sold out at all the stores near us, so we ordered it online.

• I loved this librarian's letter to someone who asked that a book be pulled.

• The nice folks who make Avatar asked if I wanted a review copy of the next disk.  Boy did I, especially since we managed to miss an episode on the tivo.  The boys are just thrilled.

Petunia has actually started swimming a little bit - goggles, head under the water, moving the arms and legs - this summer and it is breathtakingly awesome to watch. What a milestone.

Well you deserve the Avatar DVD. I meant to comment here, but your review made us go out and get them for our boys ( we don't have them on TV here). They love them, and comment on them at odd moments.
