  • Just for fun.

    “Oh, Daddy, you are so silly!”” Is it just me, or do we kind of look alike?” Whachoo talkin’ ’bout, Mommy? Or in Carson’s actual dialect: “No, it NOT bed time!”

  • Pregnant Musings Vol. 1

    Sorry, no pictures yet. Partly because I do NOT feel like being the subject of a picture right now and partly because I just haven’t remembered to ask someone to take one. We are safely into the second trimester of the pregnancy of our second child. I’m about 15 weeks (for those of you who […]

  • For Trent and Howie

    Here’s a post for those of you, yes, my husband included, who skip to the next blog if there are no pictures. These are some misc shots from December. It turns out there is a tradition in our new town that the fire department sends around fire trucks to the neighborhoods with Santa on the […]

  • Christmas from 33 inches

    That’s how tall Carson is, so I guess the camera would be a few inches below that at his eyes. It was fun to watch him play with the new camera, and also we each took turns taking a shot or two. This is right when he opened the camera and took his first picture. […]

You are obviously smart people if you are reading my blog, so start down below and work your way up through the mismatched sequence of events. It’s kind of like choose your […]

  • These are some pics from later on the Eve, when we went up to Mike and Becky’s house. They were such good sports! They had just been home from the hospital for about 3 hours when we came wanting to celebrate Christmas and get our Jack time in. M & B also really had their […]

  • Most of Christmas Day we spent in Newberg with the Tompkins and later that day with the Smiths too. Carson and I both got an almost-two-hour nap, and if you know me well, you know that was like a gift in itself! We also had a (sort of) white Christmas! I’m trying to get a […]

  • On Christmas morning we try to spend some time at our own house before heading out the door to extended family. Here’s Carson with his stocking in front of the tree.Carson was on his best behavior for these two-days, which was a relief. He said thank-you after almost every gift (often prompted, but still!), and […]
