Douglas Walker Park is on 84th street on the south side of Grand Rapids. I call it the “Run Forever” park though because that’s what’s best about it. It is quite an expanse. June 25th, and I believe this was Nina’s second trip here. I loved this moment, as soon as we got to the […]
Ian wasn’t the only one to graduate recently! June 22nd was Nina’s last day in her “Younger Toddler” class… for quite awhile she’d been held back from progressing because there was no room in the next class, the “Older Toddler” room. She’d had to wait so long that when an opening showed up, it was […]
June 19th – Came home from Doctor (good visit! My “bad” cholesterol dropped from 141 to 117! Yay!) to find that water was streaming into our house. The culprit was a downspout draining in a bad way. Found that this had happened before, because there was mold in one of the rooms. June 20th – […]

She did great She got a little pushy before lunch.” Dialogue, May 5th Ian asks while dancing: “Is anybody ready to see my magic show?” Daddy: “Will there be dancing?” Ian: “Yes, that’s […]
Audio, May 4th I can almost hear the laugh Uncle Chris would have over this audio clip. Right as I’m about to start an interview with Ian, he toots, and that pretty much ends that. To hear this audio, click here. These are a little out of whack format-wise, but they’re still enjoyable. I’ll get […]
Alright so here is a selection of movies from May… there will be more in a future entry! Video, May 10th Grandma Sue arrives at the airport! To see this video, click here. Video, May 11th I had no idea that Nina could use a “Sit n’ Spin” but apparently she can and is quite […]
May 26th, Nina got a great haircut! See this image larger. And if she could just ignore the TV for a sec… oh HEY! Hi sweetie! See this image larger. Nina wants to help and needs the broom, but can’t reach it… See this image larger. Look at that face! How could I not help!?! […]
May 23rd, our little ray of sunshine! See this image larger. May 25th, Ian looking pretty fresh out on the front lawn. He may or may not have just eaten a popsicle. See this image larger. Cute shot! The popsicle lips make him look just a wee sweeter, no? See this image larger. The pigtails […]
