Later that same day, Ian and Gma Sue colored a picture in a coloring book. This was kind of funny because I told Ian to “stand right there, hold this, look at Grandma Sue… and smile.” He listened to his Da quite nicely, and Gma Sue pulled off a wonderful shot! See this image larger. […]
Hi all, sorry about the delay on the updates! The good news is that I’m starting all kinds of fun stuff, more info to follow… So at first we figured that Grandma Sue couldn’t have picked a worse week to visit, when Ian started throwing up all over the place. He was still very good, […]
Yesterday we lost Jerry Thiebert. Jerry was Grampa Dave’s best friend as far back as I can remember. We spent many a weekend in my childhood visiting the Thiebert home, out in a rural area on the east side of Michigan. I don’t even remember the name of the town, but I could tell you […]
I know that from the title you probably think we’re talking about the economy, which apparently did its absolute worst today. No, instead it has been Ian’s latest cold, and accompanying ear infection. I’ll warn you in advance, this blog entry is graphic in its description. I took him to the doctor’s office on Wednesday […]
Just this morning (October 4th, 2008) Ian seemed to get a little more intelligent overnight. For example, he said “water” in context. He wanted more “wahder” in his “cup.” (We gave him a normal plastic glass, not a baby cup or sippy just to see what he’d do. He got drenched, but he had the […]
On the 29th Ben and Mel took us to an indoor waterpark that they had been to previously, and we had a blast! We all want to thank them for taking the time and effort to show us a great time while we were there! Here’s some pictures from that leg of the visit, but […]
On the 28th we went to the Coshochton County Fair. Aside from Ian’s Ma making a bit of a bad decision in regards to hopping on a spiny ride with Cousin Connor, all went well. No animals were harmed during the course of the County Fair — except those that were, and they had it […]
The weekend of the 27th of September continues… EDIT – Of note, Ian pointed at Ben as he cooked some steaks on the grill and said, very plainly “Ben.” Grampa Ray and Grandma Barb always want to see pictures of their three grandchildren together. Seems like Ian is always the odd man out when we […]
On September 27th we arrived at Uncle Ben and Aunt Melanie’s house, some of us exhausted and ready for sleep — some of us rested and prepared to romp with our cousins! Let the pics begin! Connor shared his trucks and here Ian takes one off-roading… See this image larger. “Wait I see something over […]
He said “shirt” tonight, which was pretty awesome. You could sense that he was sounding it out in his mouth. “S… ssirt.” He’ll get the h in there, give him time. This entry is about bedtime! Well, ok more than just bedtime, but I did notice that the after-dinner Ian moments have been sorely lacking […]
