So here’s a fun little piece of trivia about our little Sydneybird…she has what we call “special toes” on her left foot. To be honest, I didn’t even notice it on the day she was born…even after I held her feet in my hands for Mike to take a picture. I don’t think he noticed […]
I know this day is partly to “celebrate” me, but when I look at these faces, I realize I’M the one who has reason to celebrate!
I was organizing all of my little 60-second videos from my digital camera the other night and came across this one. This is a very common scene in our house in the evenings. We have a well-worn dance music playlist on our iTunes, and SURPRISE!–Carson is Pantless Wonder again. Be sure not to miss his […]
Random pics of the Birdie after eating pureed prunes. YUM! And some Carsonims: *At the dinner table, out of the blue…Carson: NOBODY PANIC!(Trent and I stop talking and just look at each other and at Carson in surprise and curiosity…)Me: Where did you learn that?Carson, smiling: Word World.Trent: What does panic mean?Carson: (thinking)Me: What does […]
Here’s another of my favorite blog posts that you may have missed. It’s from over a year and a half ago, August of 2007. We had just moved into our new house and were enjoying a relaxing evening on the patio, allowing the Pantless Wonder to strut his stuff. Have you heard of that disturbing […]
It’s a week late, but here’s some pictures from our trip to the zoo last week. We went with Steph, Henry, Christy & baby Bella. It was that one day that got up to 80 (California/Arizona friends, stop laughing), and we really were reminded this is the only zoo (right?) in Oregon, because it was […]
We had a great weekend at what we decided we would call the first annual grown-ups only getaway with our great friends. We stayed in a house overlooking the beach and we had great coversation, played games, slept, ate a LOT, watched movies, and cheered valiantly for our Blazers. We missed our kids, but truly […]
Seriously, proceed with caution. I’m going for an overshare with the picture journaling in this post. But I’ll get to that in a minute. * We’ve been working on letters with Mr. Carson for a while now, like most parents do. For a long time, he was pretty shaky on the details, as is to […]
So, I had every intention to post pictures of our zoo trip today (to supplement Steph’s post), but then this happened tonight, and it is too good to postpone. We like to go back and look at our friends’ & family’s blogs, & Carson especially likes the videos. He stumbled again onto this video of […]
I was familiar with the concept of consignment sales before last year, but my addiction has blossomed into full force recently. The main reason for this is (shameless plug coming) the Cousin’s Closet Consignment Sale. I shopped the first one, last June. It was the week before Sydney was born. I was shocked to find […]
