Band on the Diaper Run

Our favorite hour of the day on tour

And, of course, Happy Birthday Magnolia!!!

Four years ago today to the minute I was holding my firstborn for the first time.

Today she turned four and learned how to swim all in the same day.

She's also a pretty good dancer (check out the background in the video for her moves-I had no idea she was on stage jammin)

PS Congratulations Tom and Beat. Nice m and m on your finger.

	Teddy said: I too caught you at Pemberton. Awesome show for a new fan. As I've written, can't help but to love a rock band with vilin and cello. I'd love to hear about your experience at the festival. If you have a moment, could you write something up? In the meantime, I'm writing up a review of the day over at my place, <a href="http://www.tblog.ca">Where's Teddy Now?</a>. August 4, 2008 11:26 AM

	Brett said: Your boy Brett from Boston... I will see you both on Monday at the Paradise! Thanks for making a return trip to the Boston area. I'm bringing the wife as well and it's her first Mates concert. She's not exactly a fan of your music but I'm hoping after seeing you both live that we can convert her. If not... oh well... her loss! Good times... August 9, 2008 11:47 AM
