A book! With my name on the front! And a bunch of great chapters inside!
Perspectives on Negation: Views from Across the Language Sciences, edited by Frances Blanchette and Cynthia Lukyanenko. It's a brand new hardback book with a blue cover.

Post a photo you took with no context to bring some zen to the timeline.
A lacy green texture is formed by the overlapping branches of a low-growing evergreen shrub.

Excellent use of limited covered bike space, Mason, no notes.
A covered bike parking area is blocked by a long pile of snow that's been plowed off of the sidewalk. A single scooter and an e-bike are parked at the far ends of the area, locked to the only two loops that are clear of snow.

Baby's first eclipse!
A 9 month old baby stands holding an adult's hands, and looks down at the shadow of a colander, each hole showing a tiny crescent, on the floor.

We said goodbye to Maia, the most wonderful and ridiculous critter-cat that ever was, this afternoon.
A long-haired brown tabby cat flopped upside-down on the arm of a couch, looking curiously off to the photographer's left. Her ears are pricked forward and she has one front paw raised.

Current debate at our house: should the baby be a dinosaur or the Easter Bunny for Halloween?

Costume would be based around one of these two amazing hats my sister knit for him:
A baby wearing a purple hat with floppy bunny ears, a white onesie and gray and white striped pants is lying on a tan blanket. A baby wearing a teal hat with tan stegosaurus spikes up the middle and an orange onesie is lying on a black changing mat.

Me, dressing the baby: oh this green makes a nice combo with the gray
Me, two seconds later, looking down at my own outfit:
A baby, dressed in a dark gray long-sleeved onesie and sage green leggings, held by a woman wearing a dark gray t-shirt and sage green joggers.

Finished a quilt I've been working on sporadically for something like 3 years now! (cat for scale)
A quilt of half-square triangles, primarily in varied shades of blue, with purple and red accents. The triangles are semi-randomly arranged, to create a loose pattern of alternating dark and light diamonds, and so that the red accents are concentrated in the upper left half, leaving the lower right almost all blue with a little purple. The quilt is spread out on a hardwood floor, photographed from above. There's an orange tabby sitting on the quilt at the top left.

Our semester started a couple weeks ago, but I've been spending them similarly occupied. Hope it's been going well for you all!
A sleepy-looking, light-skinned baby is lying in an adult's arms. The baby is wearing a pale gray long-sleeved onesie with clouds on it. A chair with an orange cat sleeping on it is just visible in the background.

Found one. Apparently they double as pillows.
A baby lying in a crib, with his head resting on a green plastic pacifier. The photo is taken from near the mattress, above his head, so only the top of his head and his right arm are clearly visible. The crib sheet has tiny, colorful vehicles on it.

Hello (new) world!

Please enjoy this photo of my baby, who appears to be attempting to get better reception with his toes.
Two tiny white baby feet, with toes splayed wide. The in the background, parts of the car seat are visible.
