| buy me a duck
I love Christmas, but the gift-giving thing is hard to reconcile in my mind and heart sometimes. NOT that I’m ungrateful for cool stuff (like, say, my new Octave Mandolin a couple years ago, or my digital recorder last year - which by the way got together and gave birth to the album you’ll find [...]

Girl or Boy?
I received this awesome moses basket as a gift from my good friend when Alice was born. We absolutely loved using it with Alice and of course will use it with this baby too. I made a bumper for it yesterday and some sheets for it today. So we’ve got the boy version and the girl [...]
| The Room is Done!
Our mostly guest room, somewhat baby room is finished! (minus a door being hung) I’m so glad to have checked this huge project off of the list. Bob worked his tail off painting and hanging that nice ceiling fan. He crawled in the super tiny crawl space under the room and the small [...]
| Tea Time
With the cooler mornings these days we’ve been enjoying some tea time together. The kids love it! I love that they’re learning to drink tea with me, even if it is with sugar and lots of milk. These pictures are from a week ago one morning having breakfast and tea out on the deck. Yeah for [...]
| Baby/Guest Room Progess
Our little room off of our family room has been our guest room since moving here. Well Alice lived in it for a while when we had Josie, a college student living with us. But mostly its been for guests. We’ve always wanted to paint it because its so small and very dark. The walls [...]
| A good morning for Prudence
Ever since we got Prudence with her own little potty and her once upon a potty book and her potty seat, I was hopeful that she’d help in potty training Alice. It turns out she’s been great! I’ve not actually used the potty chair as we skipped that and went straight to the big potty for [...]

I wasnt really planning on writing another Christmas song, but we read the Christmas story with the kids last night. also, Michelle is 8 months preggo, so I was joking about [...]
| Chris Thile and Edgar Meyer show
Had a good time at the Thile/Meyer show last night in Nashville. They played a bunch of stuff from the new record, some Bach, a strange quasi-improvisation, as well as some other stuff like a track off Not All Who Wander…, the Smoothie Song (which got the best in-song crowd reaction), and a track from [...]
| still the same
here’s a song brought on by a running conversation Michelle and I have had over the years, and some of the stuff I’ve been thinking about due to that. most lyrics written with Joe Pug’s “Hymn 101“ (great, great song) in my head, although the first line is completely coincidental (I thought of that last week, before I [...]
| Senator Norris and the TVA
this one was inspired by this article
Senator Norris and the TVA
Young and old come gather ’round
Hear how the TVA came to be found
Long before the New Deal was assured
Good Senator Norris fought one Henry Ford
Down in Alabama, town of Muscle Shoals
The president was selling, the story is told,
The Wilson Dam, and it almost got sold
To [...]
