happy birthday to kris!

today is kris' birthday! since she's not really a cake person, i thought it would be nice to get her one of her favorites desserts, an apple pie. but she makes a pie, so it's a little tricky because i can't just get any ol' apple pie from the grocery store. it has to be a great apple pie. i assumed that there must be someplace like that in the area and i got a tip to check out the meating place, which - conveniently enough - is only three blocks away from our house ( well, actually, almost everything is three blocks away :-) ). sure enough, they make pies and although they didn't have apple on the menu today they said they'd be happy to make kris a special birthday pie. it had just come out of the oven when i picked it up after work and as i left the owner asked me to please remember to bring back the glass plate!

wouldn't you know it - it's one of the best pies we've ever had.

and you can't have a pie made from fresh organic apples without a wallop of sibby's organic vanilla ice cream which is made right here in vernon county; you can get it at certain whole foods "in the city", but otherwise it has a pretty limited distribution right now. but that'll change soon, because it's knock-out good.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
