The final part of our Thanksgiving extravaganza, the Christmas fashion show! I should probably just let these speak for themselves, but suffice to say there was a stairway, and bed-jumping shoot. And I also want to say thanks again to everybody for driving out to see us, and that we had a great time! Thanks […]
On to the 15th! Big cubes… built Connor-tough! See this image larger. *Hi, I’d like to borrow these if you don’t mind.* See this image larger. *They look like they’d make good drums.* See this image larger. *Or a chair!* See this image larger. Hundreds of years in the evolution of weaponry, have turned this […]
Here we are back in the action. If I’m not mistaken this should be the last entry for the 14th of November… Here Kaylee reads a story to Grandma Barb and – she’s great, she’ll talk on and on about what happens in the book — she almost sounds like she’s actually reading it! See […]
The gang heads indoors… You have to admit that it was pretty nice that we could go outside in the middle of November in Michigan, though, right? Here there’s a fun game of “get Kaylee’s ball from Ian.” See this image larger. Ok so it was fun while we recognized that it was Kaylee’s ball… […]
The 14th continues… around here, or maybe a bit earlier, the ladies left the boys all alone with the kids so that they could go shopping. I know this might sound like punishment, but believe me when I say, the shopping that was going on benefits everybody… or at least that’s what I was told […]
The evening of the 13th, hopped up on cake and about ready to explode with anticipation, Ian was sent to bed at around 10pm… and then his cousins showed up at around that same time. So he was allowed to sort of hang out and say hi… I think everybody was shy and trying to […]
I’m writing this on Thursday, November 26th at 12:07am… I’ll tell you where we’re at in the present before we travel back a week or two. Currently the entire family is getting over nasty colds. In fact, we were supposed to meet up with Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia this weekend, but everybody decided it […]
If you haven’t had your US RDA of Vitamin Cute, this ought to fill you right up… I figure if we had Boojamas, we can have flannel pajamas be flajamas. See this image larger. One more monkey jumpin’ on the bed! See this image larger. One of the few situations where complete joy seems to […]
When we last left our hero, he was waiting patiently… *seriously, people, I have a world to save, here.* See this image larger. What is it that feels “Wizard of Oz” about this picture? And so, the Jester, in search of a laugh, the kitten in search of a warm place, and the miniature super […]
Halloween night we were joined by Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia! I stuffed my face with as many of Grandma Marcia’s cookies as I could while everybody was playing with Ian, and then we went out for Mexican food and had a great time! But then, apparently there was a super big problem, or perhaps […]
