I’m changing hosting providers, and part of that is moving this blog. But I didn’t think the move through very clearly and warn people before I did it. So it’s moved. And if you can read this then RSS feeds are forwarding correctly.
If not… uh… sorry.

It’s avecado if you’re curious. She enjoyed it.
The one click install did not work. At all. But the database didn’t get hosed (thanks dreamhost!), so I did it manually and it looks ok. I’ll clean this up over the next few days, but so far so good.

This is the tag, one third of the trifecta of the blanket, the tag, and the crab.

Both of the girls have innertubes they can float around by themselves with. Kyra really likes hers, and zoe seems to like hers, although its hard to tell because she spent the whole time with Kyra trying to get her to laugh. So maybe the inner tube was just meh and Kyra saved the day.
Kyra can get zoe to laugh, more reliably then anyone else, and its pretty cute.
I don’t need the innertube, but Kyra likes it when I wear it and it gets stuck on so I wear it a lot.
The weather is just perfect for swimming: Hot enough that it feels good, but not so hot that even the water is miserable. We went twice today, twice yesterday, and on friday morning kim and kyra jumped in at 6:30 before I left for work. So hooray for pools!
THIS is Zoe Mad when she’s mad.
Not at all related side note: If I knew how (which it’s kind of embarrassing that I don’t), I would do that fancy thing where you send someone to a link by connecting it to a word you have to click on and send you to www.commercialzen.blogspot.com. That way you could see for yourself who we are shamelessly copying by posting our running stats our our blog. What can I say? It’s a good idea. Especially since it’s already been a couple of months since Josh publicly announced our plan of doing the Rock ‘N Roll Half in January of next year, and I have yet to run more than 2 miles at once. Josh’s stats are to the left now, and mine will be up soon.

We took Zoe to her first baseball game tonight, a 4-3 Diamond Backs win over the phillies. Zoe was intruiged, spending most of the game staring off at something in the distance. Grandma, Grandpa, and Luke went with us.

Hmmm…. Delicious and Nutritious!
Kyra would flip. She loves cupcakes, and the other day she told us “When I’m older I’m going to play settlers of catan with mommy and daddy”
Not masochism. It’s an evolutionary advantage
All together, Lieberman said, these adaptations allowed us to relentlessly pursue game in the hottest part of the day when most animals rest. Lieberman said humans likely practiced persistence hunting, chasing a game animal during the heat of the day, making it run faster than it could maintain, tracking and flushing it if it tried to rest, and repeating the process until the animal literally overheated and collapsed.
Most animals would develop hyperthermia — heat stroke in humans — after about 10 to 15 kilometers, he said.
Thats right: Early human hunters chased their prey until they fainted. Then we ate them. I love it.
“Humans are terrible athletes in terms of power and speed, but we’re phenomenal at slow and steady. We’re the tortoises of the animal kingdom,” Lieberman said.
Aren’t tortoises the tortoises of the animal kingdom? I mean technically.
