Unfortunately, Ransomed Off has become more of an archive lately than an active blog. But we have friends who blog! About adventures with us! Adventures like walking across the Golden Gate Bridge and flying kites!

Meanwhile, we're having fun with summertime, watching the new baby grow (we'll have the big ultrasound -- where we find out the gender -- June 25), and otherwise living life. The biggest shift is that Mather finally said goodbye to her beloved binkies (with much protest), having them mailed off to the Binky Fairy in exchange for return mail gifts (including an impressively pink ballerina dress). We're still navigating dangerous waters at bedtime -- she does not like going to bed without one -- but I think it'll be clear sailing in a few more days/nights.


Lots of photos and other fun things find their way to Facebook instead of the blog, so feel free to friend me if you're feeling out of the loop, and we'll make sure all the big news and events do indeed make it here to Ransomed Off.
