today was a good day...

3 good things.

1) we finally cleared the air with alex's brother and the blog is all mine again. (even though it kicked up a little storm, that needed attention.)

2) lotte is starting to really laugh, which is funny as hell (but takes a little bit to render on my slow, but very nice 5-year-old iBook, that'll be replaced once i actually earn money again).

3) i don't remember right now (nursing dementia, nothing that ca be done), but it was good.

i also saw that there are still affordable flights to berlin, which i'll hopefully book tomorrow. since alex has to go to mexico again, i might as well go to berlin and hope it isn't bleeding hot while i'm there...

i also uploaded a little video from when 2-teethed lotte was born (over 4 months ago!!!), if you're interested. if you aren't, that's fine. it isn't your kid after all. ;)


and one from today, where she finally figured the laughing out. (you'll have to crank up the speakers to hear her cackling...)
