Fountain
The blurry boy sitting behind the fountain is my six-year-old nephew Britton. He was at one point the cutest, fattest baby that ever lived, but now he is taller than most 12-year-olds. And he can beat me in game of one-on-on basketball. DAMN NEPHEWS.

Congratulations Lovelies. The site looks fantastic.
The weirdest thing.... I saw the cowbell skit the day you were updating the site. Not strange in itself, only that I live in Australia and this was the first SNL episode I had ever experienced. The next day when I came in to check your progress, it was the cowbells again.
Damn Will Ferrell is a big man... he stood shoulders above the other guys.

I LOOOOOVE this feature. I went to a wedding on the weekend and tried to take photos that would come out somewhat like yours after I cropped them. I should say crapped them because they suck, unlike yours. I'm so looking forward to the daily picture, I'm giggling.
Love you Heather, you bring much to my life.

My fiance and I have been avid readers of your daily whimsies for almost a year now. We're so delighted that you are on the up-and-up, and that Dooce.com has a whole new outlook to go with your recouperation. Yay, Heather!

great picture.
I wanted to ask you if you have ever heard of Steven Lynch? He is a singer/comedian and on his CD he does an amazing Christopher Walken impersonation including the "need more cowbell" stuff. ITs HYSTERICAL!

The background on my computer is WHITE WHITE WHITE and the font is gray. Are you seeing something different than that, jelene?

That cowbell skit was just on SNL on E! the other day, so it is fresh in my mind (not the first time I've seen it) So Funny!
We're so glad to have you back. Stay gold, Ponyboy.

is it me, or is the background too dark with the black font? ok, i'm blind. i can overlook it, cause your posts are always hilarious and make me tinkle.
i need me somemore cowbell, with will ferrell's hairy belly. in a weird way, he's hot.
i like to smell my armpits like mary katherine gallagher. mmm. sniff.

I could SO not beat a 12-year-old at anything. Maybe a spelling bee.
Does it seem like kids get really tall really fast these days? Is there something in the water that was missing when I was growing?

So, Heather, who do you beat at one-on-one basketball? I'm just curious, because if you're very good, maybe he should be in the NBA someday. But if you're not? Not so much.

Thank you. From all of us.

I hear ya on the cowbell episode! Love it, love it love it!!
I've been peeking in for a few weeks now... and I am obsessed. You guys are so cool. Your photos are incredible.

Never mind 12 year olds, a fat baby - cute or un-cute could beat ME at one-on-one basketball!

My 11-year-old son kicked my ass on a bike ride last night, too. Sucks getting old. And the new sight looks wonderful in Netscape 7.2 on a Mac!
Are you self-taught with the camera or do you have any reference books for a neophyte you'd recommend?

So glad you are back! Hope you are feeling better on your new meds. Love the new design..

By the way.. in Australia if you have a fever.. you just take some paracetamol. Maybe we could teach you crazy Yanks a thing or two.....

Thanks for the cowbell explanation... its kind of clearer now... I think. How do you know if you need more cowbell? It must be something you are unaware of until someone points it out ;)

Yay, comments! What fun! I, too, have a ginormous nephew still in the single digits but with larger feet than me. Well, had. I think I lost him in the divorce. But I was sick of losing to him, anyway. (Also, what is with the Mormons and the funky names? Does the Book of Mormon include a handy Appendix of Bizzare Yet Godly Appellations?)

Can we have hourly photos of Leta?

Why is he sitting near a nuclear warhead. That seems unsafe.

I love your pictures.

Oh pretty lovely indulging comments!! My sons won't let me play legos with them because I don't do it right.
09.07.04 - 06:41 AM / 23Philadelphian said:
Heather, have either you or Jon thought about licensing some of your photos for commercial use? Just a thought. I don't know how complicated the process is, but I know of lesser artists than you two who are attempting it.
Kick-ass new design, by the way. So user-friendly and easy on the eyes!

I'm so glad you are back, and I love the new look. BTW, I know this is sort of late and off topic, but your wedding dress is lovely :)

I want to see more of Leta, Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
09.07.04 - 05:53 AM / 26stinkerbell said:
love the new digs and the new pics. Now if I can figure out how to make my digital do that...
09.07.04 - 05:44 AM / 27kp said:
Heather--so glad you're back at it and feeling better. This is a good, good thing. You're truly an inspiration, sister. Best to you and the fam, and keep kicking ass and taking names. Great pic, by the way.
