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.

Sundays With Oliver - Week Seven


Another week, another installment of Sundays With Oliver (yes, the pictures were taken yesterday, I just didn’t have time to post them until today). We had a good week - many trips to the hike and bike trail at Town Lake (I walked close to ten miles with Oliver last week), a reassuring visit to the lactation consultant, Daddy’s first long days home alone (Brian took care of Oliver on Wednesday and Thursday while I went into work), shopping at the Farmer’s Market, and Oliver’s first trip to a bar (we went to Opal Divine’s after Brian’s book club last night and managed to drink half a beer each before Oliver decided it was time to go home). After my whining earlier this week about sleep, the growth spurt finally came to an end and Oliver did some champion sleeping the rest of the week. For the past four nights he’s slept four or more hours for his first stretch of sleep. The last two nights, I only had to get up with him once. On top of that, he’s still taking two good long naps everyday. We’re very lucky but I’m still hoping that by my birthday in a few weeks he’ll be sleeping through the night. I start my buying appointments this week so we’ll see how those go... hopefully Oliver will cooperate.
