Mark at 9 weeks old and Mark now.

We gave Mark a big tub of peanut butter cups (gave him the same thing last year…and he loved them), two t-shirts from J.Crew (love their soft tees), the game Risk (he’s been wanting to play that one with Evan), and a gift certificate for a 5 minute helicopter ride (I’m particularly excited about this one as was he!).

Yes, you read that post title correctly. Evan came home from school today with the library book entitled “Walter the Farting Dog.” Nice. Since it was a beautiful day, we stopped in the park, sat on the bench, and read his book. Quite a tale about a dog from the pound who farted all the time. Right when his family was going to return him due to his terrible stench, robbers come to the house and Walter farts on them, scaring them away and saving the day. Hmmmm. The inside flap says: “Warning: this book may cause flatulence.” What happened to old classics like Curious George and Berenstein Bears?
