I'm literally going to do a five-minute post, just to get myself back into the game. No time to load pictures right now. Tomorrow, perhaps. I'm not sure why I fell of of the face of the blog planet, however it is quite possible that laziness and disinterest in my own day-to-day grind have each played a role.
Major updates: 1) Bennett is now 16 months old. What a big boy! 2) Bennett will be welcoming a little brother in May. Our house will officially transform into some sort of circus this spring.
More to come - I promise...

Other things...
As you may (or may not) have noticed, I have not been blogging. If I remember correctly, my last post was also about not blogging. Other things have been going on. Like, our house is the cleanest it has ever been, and I am totally inspired to keep it up. Seeing fresh, clean spaces is making me want to organize more things, and make our home as comfortable and cozy as possible. I can't take credit for all of the work. Nic has been amazing.
Bennett is almost one. I really can't believe this. I have been working diligently on his "First Year" book, and will be scrambling to add a few Twins game and State Fair pictures before I hurriedly order it, in the hopes of having it in my hands by the time his big birthday arrives. I hope he has fun at his party. Of course I bought oodles of balloons to use to decorate, without having thought about the possible safety implications of balloon oodles (random pieces of popped balloon rubber to choke on). Well, we'll be livin' on the edge, I guess.
Good friends arrive from far away places this week. I have strategically shortened several work days. Happy times await.
What's with these two lately? It's like they got together one day when we were out, and had a pet conference. Kitty led the meeting, Suggie took notes. And when Suggie submitted the meeting minutes, they went something like this:
Item 1: Be sneaky
Item 2: Be naughty
Item 3: Get in fights with neighborhood cats and lose collars
Item 4: Generally make Nic come this close to getting rid of us

Ugh.
As in, ugh, I haven't blogged in forever! Since returning from a fantastic week off visiting family and hanging out in the woods, I just haven't quite been able to get back on track with the ol' routine. But for goodness sake - I could at least throw a couple of pictures on here, or something. Let's call this series "At the Cabin", starring Bennett.

Little Boxes
Well, I guess they're big boxes. Giant Instagrams! I just can't help myself - the Instagram is my new favorite thing because a) I really like how the pictures look and b) I don't have a nice camera, so I figure that mediocre pictures with cool effects will have to suffice for now. Happy Friday from the Land of Ludwig.
Kitty sits in the windowsill. He watches for birds, rodents and the neighbor's dog. When he sees these creatures, he does not move. He remains still and vigilant, plotting silently.
Suggie was exhausted last night. She had a big day, I guess. Her smooshy face is so cute. Since Bennett joined our household, the pets have definitely taken several giant steps down the ladder of importance. Sometimes, I feel kind of bad about that. I must remember to dole out more love to the loyal pets.
It finally cooled off enough yesterday for us to take a walk around our lake. I say "our" lake as if we own it. We do not own it, but we like it. And it is pretty much (more or less) in our backyard. One could almost mistake Minnesota for a tropical paradise this time of year. Almost.
He crosses his little chubbers feet. Just chillin'.
