Well, this is it. The baby blog’s last post.

We have got a new URL, for reasons both personal and professional, and I will be hanging my blogging hat on a new cyber-hook.

If you are looking for me, I can now be found at in the rough. I think the new place is rather pretty, so come on over and have a look-see.

I have loved the baby blog and all the friends I have made here, but I need to move on. I hope that most of you will follow me on my virtual move as you have through my physical moves.

It’s been fun, but you can’t stay a baby forever.

So where have I been? That’s a good question.

I’ve been hanging around bothering other people’s blogs, and lurking my way through de-lurking week and neglecting my own sorry little webspace.

I’ve also gone to my first couple of rehearsals, which have been fabulous, and nursed myself (with Lilah’s help) through a clogged milk duct (not so fabulous) and watched the snow fall.

We have had an honest-to-goodness blizzard round these parts, and it’s very lovely, when you can stay in and stay warm.

The shrubs in my front yard are so very very pretty.

And I spent a satisfying five minutes carving the Death Star Trench in the backyard.

Snowbound, the girls and I have been amusing ourselves in various ways.

We have done our hair

And we have danced a lot. I don’t have pictures, though, because I’ve been too busy dancing.

When we get tired from dancing, then we take pictures.

We are saving our pennies to get this for Rowan when she is three, because the only way she’ll pose for a picture is if she gets to push the button.

She’s taken a few shots of her favourite things.

And if I am very bossy, I occasionally get a chance to push the button, too.

Various thoughts have popped into my head, and I have contemplated putting them here, but for whatever reason, that has not happened. I think it’s time for a change.

So, probably in the next few days, the blog will be moving.

I (read Michael) will set it up so you will be forwarded from here to there, wherever there may be. I’m still working on that.

I know the suspense is keeping you on the edge of your seats. Don’t fall off.

Heads up, everybody! You have 12 days left to read On Beauty by Zadie Smith.

Our first Virtual Book Club meeting will be on Monday, 15 January. Karin offered to set up a LiveJournal community for the purpose some time ago, but I was all distracted and never got back to her about it. I don’t know if she is still interested in doing so, or if she has the time. Unless people make a lot of virtual noise about their preferences regarding format or location, I suggest we go ahead with the first meeting here at La Petite Banane, and then see if we feel we would like a change.

I also think it’s high time we pick a book for February. I read far more slowly than I used to, and I need some time to get through a whole book.

If there are no suggestions by this time tomorrow, I will nominate someone to choose the next book.

Happy reading!
