Band on the Diaper Run

There's no Snow Like Minnesota Snow

We played in the snow in CT before we left for Minnesota.  Enough to make a baby snowman.

 

 

Then, while having a great time with the extended family, we played in over 2 feet of snow (and even 20 below weather on some days)

 Mags had the time of her life playing outside with her cousins.

 

 

 

The night before we left Mags sang "Rudolph" to me at bedtime. She's been learning all the shout-outs and responses.  When she got to the end, "..you'll go down in his-tor-y" she shouted, "Like George Bush!"  It was one of those kid-funny AND adult-funny moments.  We both laughed hard.  Then I'd wished I hadn't thought it was so funny because now she does it the correct way, inserting the first president's name.  I think Rudolph might have a more beloved place in history than W anyway.

 

June sings now.  All "La-la's" and so cute.  She makes me a happier person every day. They both do. And I'm pshyched to be home for a while.

 

Got the best gifts of course, a happy and healthy family.  (Sugary, yes, but 'tis the season)

 

Oh, and you can follow MOS, a.k.a- me and Jason, on Twitter (well, mostly Jason).  Sign up at:  twitter.com/jyzon

 

Happy Holidays!

Mates of State

Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel

Kori Gardner is the organ-playing half of the band Mates of State; her husband, Jason Hammel, plays drums. Known for their vocal harmonies and euphoric melodies, Mates of State has been described by critics as "unabashed joy", "honesty at its best", a "two piece with balls", and "a band that you must see live." Their daughter, Magnolia, was born in 2004 and started touring with the band at 10 weeks. June, their second girl, was born early this year. The whole family is touring the world right now. Hear their latest album, "Re-Arrange Us" at www.matesofstate.com, or myspace.com/matesofstate
