Just made this cobbler with blackberries that me and my 6yo (then 5yo) daughter picked in our new backyard last summer, for a Superbowl party/jam I'm about to go to with new friends and bandmates. Really loving our new life in Maryland!

The Internet is making my chest hurt so here's another picture of my puppy

Just got this "urgent message" from the president of the American Sociological Association. I typically have my family students look up government statistics for an assignment but who knows if any will be there by the time we get to that week.

Shadow is getting much better at driving in the car, and is great at fetch already. Tomorrow is one week since we adopted him! He is approximately 3.5 months old now, and was found running around the woods in NC with his 2 sisters.

Pupdate: this puppy just mastered going up and down the stairs today which is great cause he is getting heavy! Also had no accidents in the house yesterday! I also had my first week of classes, that went well.
