• Baby Jack is HERE!

    The wait was long for us, and I know it was longer for Becky and Mike, but finally their healthy, beautiful son was in their arms and not in her tummy. His full name is John Hayes, but they decided he will be called Jack, so Baby Jack it is. There will be many blog […]

  • Bowling Boy

    A few weeks ago, Aunt Michelle invited Carson and I to join her at her company work party, since they were allowed to bring guests and she had been told the kids get a present. Since Carson is a fan of presents, we accepted the invitation. Although, in all honesty, I wondered how much fun […]

  • Knowledge is Power

    And power is dangerous! It’s fascinating to see how quickly Carson is learning about the computer. He has seen us working with it his whole life, and since the time he was an infant, he would sit with us and be mesmerized by pictures. His MO for most of his toddlerhood has been “command navigation,” […]

  • YES, it’s just writing, but then a video.

She said he could see that she was taking pictures, so he would pull out certain figurines and tell her to take their […]

  • So, you’re SAYING we’re not adopted?

    I couldn’t find the perfect comparison pics, and I have no doubt that Blogger will never let me get the spacing right for a side-by-side shot, but I think you can see the resemblance. The pic of Mom is around her freshman year of college. Dad is his sophomore year of high school. (I think […]

  • Baby Blues

    I was just playing around yesterday, taking some pics of Carson while he watched his standby, Clifford, and loved how blue his eyes looked–even if his expressions weren’t exactly kodak moments.I know we’ll take some grief for this, but what is interesting about this picture is, when Trent and I both looked at it the […]
