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.

Getting Back into the Blog of Things

So... why start up this poor neglected blog again after such a long absence? Certainly only a major life event could be responsible for such a newfound resolution for documenting our family.

That major event? Finding out that our family is growing by one come next March. Brian (and Oliver) and I are so excited to be welcoming another little boy into our family. And, after talking to many of my friends who are second children, I was afraid of the complexes that little boy might develop if I do not strive to document his life the way his brother's has been documented (you know, obsessively for a year and a half, and then sporadically after that). So, I'm resolving myself to start again.

I'm slowly migrating the old posts over to this new format (our old website is now defunct) but am going to try to keep up with new posts as much as possible - including trying to catch up on what we've been up to for the past year or so. No point in waiting until January 1st for resolutions, right?
