Yes! There are odd sounds when you sign onto my blog! In a frenzy of creative fun I added a Harry Potter widget at the bottom of the page. Scroll down to check it out!

Also, I have had no response to they recycled bag contest, so I am changing the rules!
Instead of sending me images of you and your family using plastic bags, please send me any of your recycling tips. Do you wash and reuse baggies? Do you compost? Do you turn old clothes into dust rags?

I will post the tips and award the bags in a random manner, having pulled the names of the contestants out of a hat! (Okay, not a hat, more likely a large kitchen bowl, but that doesn’t sound as good.) The contest will run until the end of October, so please send your entries to lawandmotherhood@gmail.com.

I have another update from the Big Easy where Paul has returned to do more good, including a movie. I will be posting those later today, but for now, it is off to comfort the sore and cranky baby boy.

It’s my right front tooth, a tiny little guy, who has been giving me all sorts of trouble for quite some time now. It poked through today, and I am all over drooly just dealing with the discomfort!

There it is! I know it’s hard to see… it’s barely a tenth of an inch long, and it is a bit translucent, being a baby tooth and all, but I swear, it’s there! I have been working on this guy for a long, long time, but now that he’s arrived, I kinda wish he wasn’t poking through and hurting me so much! Not as much as Mama’s going to wish it when I start biting her while I nurse though.
