ladies and gentlemen,

t'pon has left the building...  but not for forever, mind you.  Just to catch my breath and sort through some impending (but good) changes at casa t'pon.

If I smoked, it would be a short cigarette break to clear my head and come back swinging.

So, look for me to return with plently of explanation and details of our holiday fun in a week or two.

In the meantime, I did post new pictures of the bean, who is a full biped, at least when he isn't crawling under a piece of furniture to hunt dust bunnies. He got his first pair of real "big boy" shoes... and he is off.

For those who click through to see the pictures.  I promise we are not allowing the dogs to trample on him and we are not training him for a career in prize fighting.  He has simply done an excellent job of introducing himself to the driveway, the floor, the Christmas tree, doorjams, and several pieces of furniture since discovering the ways and means of upright travel. 

The most oft repeated phrase in the t'pon household these days "bean! Don't look at me, look where you are...  F*&%.  N., go get some ice." (yes, I am getting better at censoring myself at home.)

Damn, these kids grow up fast.

Have a great holiday, whatever the flavor... and we will catch up soon!

Yep, I second Mortimersmom... you mentioned the pee stick a few posts back and I've been begging for results ever since. You have a lovely Christmas as well, looking forward to your return. Enjoy your break!
