Welcome to the New Site!

Here we go! A whole new site for Ian at age 2. Welcome aboard and don’t forget to bookmark the new location! I’d tell you the keyboard shortcut to help you out, but then you’d forget to delete the original bookmark. COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE CHALLENGE!!! See if you can figure out how to delete the old […]

Two Years Old

(First a quick note, I added some pictures and some extremely great sound clips to an earlier entry called “He Nose So Much…” please check ’em out! [You can click on the title in the previous sentence to go directly there.]) What can I say about this that won’t sound cliché? Our tiny little bundle […]

Birthday Eve

We took some pictures of Ian in his Birthday Boy shirt before tomorrow when he inevitably gets it all messed up. I’ll share all the pictures on his birthday in the evening. Again, the rate at which he is learning is crazy. Tonight we told him to tell his cars goodnight, and he said “night […]

He Nose So Much

(First off, I want to open up with a shout-out to my nephew Connor, who turned 7 today and is cool!) On Sunday, Melissa, Ian and I went to a train exhibit in Meijer Gardens. It was the frosting on the cake of a fantastic weekend. Ian was just a lovable little guy the whole […]

Maximum Verbosity

One fantastic effect of the trip — over the course of those days, or maybe it was when he got back, I’m not sure which — Ian’s ability to verbalize improved twofold at least. We were both positive he was doing better, but the people at daycare were in shock over how much he was […]

And so this is Christmas ’08, Part VII

And so, the final installment for Christmas this year, we end with the rest of our time with Grandma Sue, Uncle Chris and Aunt Annie! (I want to thank you guys for carting us around and your hospitality, as well as the Holiday generosity!) We begin right after we got back from visiting Great Grandma […]

And so this is Christmas ’08, Part VI

And now back to our Christmas adventures! We loaded up the car and headed for Chris and Anne Marie’s on the 26th of December, 2008… Yup, Grandma Sue, Mommy, Daddy and Ian motored south. Ian slept for part of the way, completely off his schedule, and needed to run around a nearby playground to burn […]

And so this is Christmas ’08, Part V

On the 26th we went to Grandma Sue’s. It’s a trade-off for Ian. He gets to spend time with a different grandparent, and seeing everybody is good, of course. On the other hand, it might not seem like it would be as fun with less kids running around over at Grandma Sue’s… but on the […]

And so this is Christmas ’08, Part IV

Mostly Christmas morning went smoothly. If anybody had a problem it was Ian… we think he was a little tired, and not as used to sharing toys — especially new ones. There were a few moments where he looked like he was going to go hysterical. It seemed like maybe Kaylee was also a little […]
