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.

Tuesdays With Henry - Week Twelve

We've had a good week. My insanity lead us to a few doctor's appointments this past week for Henry but, good news! He's not blind! (Long story - I'll post it later). 

I can't believe Henry is twelve weeks old already. The past three months have flown by and yet we still have no discernible schedule. Every day is different. Some days I take Henry into the store, some days we are at home. Some days I take Oliver to school but mostly it's Brian handling that. And it doesn't seem likely that we will have a regular schedule any time soon. Open Door called today and the good news is that Henry has a start date at school. The bad news is that the start date is the first Monday of September. I don't know how we are going to get through the summer. Being a work at home Mom is crazy stressful but it seems silly to try to find him a spot somewhere else for a few short months.

This week's Tuesdays With Henry marks a very important development - the first week in which he was awake, alert, and happy to participate! 

As Oliver says: "Look at that smile-lel!" (Oliver loves to add extra syllables to every word. His brother's name is Henarey in case you were curious).
