It’s so fun seeing a new generation enjoy some of the simple joys we all did as kids. We pulled out this old school sprinkler the other day for some water fun on one of the really hot days. What a hoot! “Hmmm…let me check this thing out first.” “Whoa. Those are kind of cold. […]
Although no one could EVER replace our existing friends, the Tompkins have been trying to branch out and meet new people down here in Salem. One family we’ve met have a little 11 month old girl. She and her mom came over the other day and Carson was putting on a great show. She’s cute, […]
It’s the newest adjective used to describe photos or comments. My sister-in-law Michelle had these pictures and proclaimed them to be “blog-worthy.” I think a few of them look like Carson is posing for senior pictures. After a few moments, this staring contest was called in favor of the bovine.
We had a great weekend with our good friends the Nashes. Their two older kids were the flower girl and ring bearer in our wedding 6 years ago! Their family has a connection to a really cool cabin near Breitenbush, which is between Salem and Detroit Lake. The cabin is misleading in this picture. It’s […]
I haven’t been posting much lately, mainly because I don’t have many new pictures. But then I realized I have a handful of recent pictures, but I just didn’t think any of them were very good. So, please enjoy “Photo Shoot Gone Wrong.” My favorite pic is at the end. Mike, I may need some […]
Carson keeps going up to Roy’s room and knocking, saying “Bapah? Bapah?” Our roomie is at his real home this week, and Carson’s missing the extra face (and attention!). OK, Jen and Trent miss you too!
I can’t decide which caption of the “I’m not as innocent as I look” variety to match to this pic. “Oh! My Mommy’s so pretty!”” Dad, if you are going to keep chatting on the phone, I’ll just get going on this engine.”
I’ve been playing around with the video feature on my camera. And by “playing around,” I mean “actually using properly for the first time.” And by “properly” I really mean “improperly.” You see, I’m a dork. I’m not used to taking video on a normal camera (as oppose to camcorder, at which I’m Speilbergesque), and […]
…in our household: after his turn changing Carson’s diaper, Daddy decides that pants (for Carson) are optional fashion accessory. After putting the toys away earlier that day (sometimes more than once), Mommy decides that the overturned bucket is acceptable household decor. After asking for cookies and popsicles and getting rejected several times, Carson decides that […]
Hmmmm. Why is my printer not working? I should lift up the lid and see if there is a paper jam. Or if there is just a ball in the mechanism next to the toner cartridges.
