A lot of things happened all at once around the end of June and throughout July. I’m going to cover them lightly here, as I sort of dipped into that time period throughout other entries. June 16th, Ian high-tails it away from home. I can’t tell who took this picture, it was probably Grandma Barb, […]
After I left the playground equipment (space ship) to check on Nina in her stroller, and then came back to the “ship.” – “Daddy, don’t you go to outer space alone without me ever again.” (This was at the “red dinosaur” park, known to grown-ups as Millennium Park.) “The snapper of the toes thing.” (Nail […]
Presently: I need to grab some of the text from the care page and bring it on over to the blog… but I’m pretty sure word has gotten around about Nina’s CT scan from last month. There was an anomaly that showed up in one of the views, and it was identified as just that […]
Presently: I’m pretty sure we can count Nina’s first word this morning (8.28.10) as “Mama.” She’s getting very close to crawling as well — she sort of pins one arm under her body and scoots along on it, like a rail. Meanwhile, back at Nina’s Baptism on June 13th, 2010… the after party has become […]
The after party! Why hullo there! Grampa Dave, Grandma Marcia, Uncle Chris, and Great Grandma Betty hang out at table #2! See this image larger. Grandpa Ray and Grandma Barb shared their 40th wedding anniversary with Nina’s Baptism… congratulations you two! See this image larger. A gift for their anniversary! See this image larger. Nina […]
June 13th, the big day! Kaylee shows off her outfit, lookin’ pretty! See this image larger. Nina’s got her game face on! See this image larger. Looks like the other kids are ready too! Smiles, everybody! See this image larger. We get all the kids smiling so rarely, here’s a couple more versions of this […]
“If you said my name was Buzz Lightyear then I wouldn’t like that very much. If you called me Ian I would like that very much.” “Uncle Chris doesn’t have hair, he just has a head.” “Ka-Blast-Off!” (Think “kablam” meets “blast-off.”) “I want to be a pirate” Why? “‘Cause they go around in a ship […]
So much has happened, but let’s go back to where we left off picture-wise and hopefully I can set the record straight some other time. Once again, it was time to get a Chapman baby’s head good and wet and people came from miles and miles away to see the spectacle! Let me start by […]
Last night we got home from eating a little early, and Ian asked if we could just sit on the porch… which turned into a walk… which turned into a bike ride… (if you give a mouse a cookie!) I didn’t mind in the least, however; there was something really nice about being able to […]
(August 7th) It is hilarious to think that we’ve been at the new house for a week already. It was wonderful to see family and friends in action helping us out. And wow did we need it. All the happenings with Nina, Ian’s digestive issues (which we now believe to be a symptom of the […]
