Pookie Powers were instantly activated on April 25, 2000 when we met for the very first time at the Xando (now unfortunately Cosi) at the Courthouse Metro in Arlington, VA. Since then, our power has spread far and wide with its epicenter now positioned in Broomfield, CO. And the Pookie Nation has grown to include one more.

The start of this blog marks the five year anniversary of the official Pookie union. With many years ahead, the power knows no bounds!

My Dream Come True!

Ever since we got Gus last summer, my dream has been that I would wake up one morning and find Gus and Mable curled up together.

This weekend we got close...I found them sunning themselves right next to each other!

Since I'm usually the one taking all the pictures of our little peanut, there are so few of me with him! I forced Paul to take this one since he was looking so cute snoozing away in his sling.

Paul as the Stork

My new friend Claudia Landau was so kind as to lend me a couple of awesome baby wearing devices: a fleece sling and a moby. The moby is this incredibly long piece of fabric (about 10 feet) which I wrap all around me and slide Jacob into. I'm like an African woman going out to work in the field with her baby, LOL.

Paul loves to wear the baby in the sling, and once he's in there Jacob just passes out. Here you can see Paul holding Jacob in the sling after he's taken it off. Doesn't he look like the Stork?!? And below is little peanut Jacob happily snuggled in his sling.
