Band on the Diaper Run

Happy Heart Day

Valentine's Day is one of those small. less pressure holidays. But, I actually enjoy it.  I got a new pair of pajamas and Jason got some chocolate.  But, to a 4 year old, it seems just as big as the big holidays for some reason. So we celebrated, a little. 

 

In honor of our hearts, we went out for a big, greasy, diner breakfast. 

June ate the most but I have to say, it's been a while since I ate that poorly and I feel like one large french fry (hours later). 

But, we indulged and had a great Saturday.  Also, it was Jason's b-day this month.  Mags made him breakfast in bed on the special day (a sandwhich, and a cupcake..then she ate the cupcake)

 

 

 We've been writing a ton of music so being home is really starting to get us motivated and excited with all the extra time.  On the way, new sounds, new songs, maybe even a mother/daughter duet about rainbows and unicorns (Mags is writing her own lyrics for one verse and aside from the randomness, it's pretty, dare I say, Mary Timony-esque...lots of winged horse and fairy imagery).

 

 

 

The girls got some (cheap) gifts for V-day.  Mags named her new Valentine's stuffed animal "Lover."   Since she sleeps with all of her stuffed animals and then told me today that Dad is really my stuffed animal since I sleep with him every night, we think calling one of her fluffy friends "Lover" is totally and innocently appropriate and, cute.

Random comment here, but I just have to say:  I'm pregnant, checking your blog from my desk at work of course, and that cupcake that Mags made looks REALLY good.  My compliments to the chef.  Must find myself a cupcake now.....

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
