We met in 2002 while we were both working at BookPeople in Austin, Texas. We got married on June 18, 2005 and now live in a small house in North Austin with our two dogs, Coltrane and Miles, and our three cats - Gnosis, Nona, and Kali. Brian works as an Editorial Assistant at the University of Texas Press and Elizabeth still works at BookPeople as a buyer and the Inventory Operations Manager.

On April 12, 2009 we welcome our first child, Oliver Mott, into our family and on February 12, 2013, his little brother, Henry Charles, joined us three weeks before his expected due date.

Four Onesies and Three Blankets...


.. in one night. Oliver is still sleeping really well at night but he tends to have diaper issues if he sleeps three or more hours at a time. On Wednesday night, he set a personal record of wetting four onesies and three blankets in the course of one ten hour period. I don’t know if we’re putting his diapers on wrong or if he’s just a champion bed-wetter but whe.n you combine that many wet outfits with the fact that Oliver tends to scream a lot when he’s getting changed you get some restless nights and lots of laundry (I don’t even want to think about what our water bill is going to look like this month). But I’ll take all the wetting if he keeps sleeping for these three hour stretches. In fact, last night he slept from 10 pm to 2:30 am and so did I. It was great. He got up at 2:30 and ate for twenty minutes and then went right back to sleep until 5. Good night.

Grandma #2 arrived this week from New Mexico and we’re so glad to have her here and I think she’s pretty happy to meet the little guy. What do you think?
