From the always-fantastic Mandy Roberts, here's the cover for Stealing Time-- if all goes according to plan, the book itself will be available next weekend!! I'll be posting the first chapter sometime this week. :-)

Recently got a bunch of zoo pictures actually uploaded to my computer. We go whenever we can (aka when the temperature is not listed as "hell would actually be cooler than this". Ridiculous weather). So I figure I'll post a few of the more interesting ones every week. :-)
These four are from the Sedgwick County Zoo:

Because apparently I'm in a spammy mood tonight...




Hannah Spearritt as Iris
Oded Fehr as Zeus

Kaylee hamming it up for the camera:





And, because it's family tradition, here's Ian:

She seems interested in one part of baking, anyway. . . ;-)


The littlest one. This is Rodent (though given the habit of sitting on people's shoulders, we probably should've gone with Parrot).


A rare quiet moment.

A few more are at my Myspace and FaceBook accounts-- next up will be pics from Kaylee's 2nd birthday once they're uploaded!

We went out to the water plant to talk to Chris for a few and see if we could get some pictures of the geese that live out there-- and we ended up getting pics of something else:



She's pretty young, and absolutely not afraid of people at all-- she just wandered across the parking lot and came within ten feet of where Chris and I were crouched at the corner of the building. Chris thinks she's made a home in one of the spare pipes lying around in the nearby field. She stalked across the field for several minutes, springing up into the air to pounce at things, and we followed at a distance. :-)

Belated Halloween pics under the cut! :-)

But first, here's Kaylee with her current favorite toy-- Chris's cell phone.

Remember that celebrity-lookalike-collage thing at MyHeritage? They have another toy up.

If you'll excuse me, I'll be off wasting time playing with pictures now. :-)
