A fun-filled day

Today was a busy and exciting day.
We went to a fair, ate corn dogs, and saw a few classic cars...


Later Anna played in her "pool"...


Also, my brother Michael, Mom, and Dad came to visit.

Company

This afternoon we had a visit from our friend Rachel. Anna hasn't gotten to see her since she was less than 2 weeks old!


Tonight we had a visit from our friends Dan and Sarah and their children Eion and Eva. Anna enjoyed watching the kids running around!

The Story of Stuff

If you have 20 minutes to spare, I strongly recommend checking out the video on this website:


It will change the way you think about shopping.

Adventures in cloth

For awhile now I have been playing with the idea of cloth diapering. I hate the idea of spending so much on disposable diapers only for them to all end up in a landfill. After consulting a few friends who cloth diaper, I purchased just a few cloth diapers to experiment with. For those who are interested, we purchased four prefold diapers (this is the traditional cloth diaper that most probably think of), two inexpensive diaper covers, and one BumGenius One Size.Does this diaper make my butt look big?
(This mirror is one of Anna's current favorite toys.)
