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.

Dinosaur Train

Oliver is obsessed with the TV show, Dinosaur Train. He watches it almost every day (yes, we are horrible parents and let him watch TV almost every day. It's one of the privileges he can lose when he acts up, though, so there are many TV-free days in his life). Dinosaur Train is that rare children's television show that is actually educational (I think that stems from it being a Jim Henson production - it was created by a few of his kids) and entertaining for both kids and parents. Oliver has learned so much watching this show. He can name ten or so different types of dinosaurs. He can tell you the difference between herbivores and carnivores and he knows that T. Rex eats carrion (and that carrion means dead meat). And because it's a Jim Henson production there are some really awesome songs. Including this one:
