Band on the Diaper Run

Smell ya later Tarquin Studio

We are officially finished with the new record (It'll come out in May).

 

 Coincidentally, today was June's first recording session. Magnolia went to Gramma's to play dress-up instead of joining us.  On a side note, she's been telling everyone she wants to be a garbage girl when she grows up or make-up artist.  Awesome. We need both.

 

 Peter Katis rules and Georgio kicks ass too.  They did an amazing job on the record, treated us to food almost daily and they didn't even mind us changing a poopy diaper on the couch in front of them.

 Smell ya later Tarquin Studio 

 

PS:

Next time, I think it's time to talk about breastfeeding on tour.  I'm already gearing up for weeks of the pre-feed warning (ie "Get ready people, you are about to see my boobs, hope that's ok")  I remember last time I got really pissed in certain states with some folks who were unfriendly to the naked breast. 

So, Get ready people, we are about to talk about boobs on tour (and not the groupie kind of boobs on tour)

I am interested to hear about boobs on tour...I had enough trouble with trying to breastfeed, and that was just sitting around my house, so I am looking forward to your next post.

I am so glad that there are people in this world that rock so well, and have beautiful children.  I hope your nights are filled with sleep, your days are filled with joy, and your dreams are filled with new tunes.  Thanks for all you do.

congratulations you two!

What's with the "metal"-style ("panther") t-shirt? Please don't tell me your daughter joined the band and your next record has heavy metal guitar riffs over it.

End the IRS!
