July Already?

We’re getting ready and packing for our big Fawn Island trip — it’ll be a doozy. The 3rd through the 7th! I’ll try to take video and pictures as much as possible! 07/01/08 Daycare Report Ian had a great day! He got to go to the park and play on the slides and swings. He […]

What’s Cookin?

Ian now has access to the kitchen. He’s causing a lot of headaches, but his boundaries should be expanded, we should always be challenging our reliance on what is convenient, and frankly he’s got to learn “no” sooner or later. We’ve had to make some modifications, of course, and will always have to keep an […]

Twice Bitten, Once Shy

We got two incident reports today from daycare. The first was at 10:05am… Ian was playing with the lawnmower [presumedly a toy] and another child wanted his toy. The other child got upset and bit Ian on his left arm. The second was at 11:00am… Another child was pushing him out of the way and […]

Dance!

Some random updates for you: • Ladies and gentlemen, video footage of Ian dancing!!! Click here to see very short video! • New Feature! On the right in the “sidebar” of the page where you’re reading this, there’s a new section called “Twitter/Live.” It should be somewhat up-to-date with the latest and greatest news if […]

S’more Text

Well, I bombed you with images the last few days, here’s some stories! • Ian and I have this game where we run around the couch that sits in the center of our living room. First we run around for awhile and he laughs, that’s pretty typical. Now I’ll switch direction and act like he […]

Attack of the Cousins! (Part V)

And finally… On Sunday we took some goofy pictures and marched down to the park! Thank you to Aunt Melanie and the little ones for making the long trek up from Ohio; we had a blast! This is about as still as you could get Ian; everybody else behaved themselves just fine. He’s a blur […]

Attack of the Cousins! (Part IV)

Saturday afternoon continues… when we last left them, our daring trio had made their way through plants and water… where to next? Next we made our way to a sculpture that included some cool fountains you could interact with. But Ian missed them entirely, at least at first. Why? One word: B-A-L-L. See this image […]

Attack of the Cousins! (Part III)

Ah and finally we get to Saturday, when we went to Meijer Gardens… I’m only going to give you the first half because there’s a lot of them, sorry! First we stopped in the greenhouse area to check it out… these three made it look like grandchildren grow on trees. See this image larger. Then […]

Attack of the Cousins! (Part II)

Friday late afternoon it rained… Kaylee took every available toy and brought it to the screen door, as if in an attempt to please Mother Nature so that we could all go back outside. See this image larger. Ian – “Hmmm… Spidey-sense is tingling… something about an imminent head injury…” (I’m kidding she actually went […]

Attack of the Cousins! (Part I)

On Thursday the 12th of June, Aunt Melanie, Cousins Connor and Kaylee arrived in Rockford. Dinner was had, video games were played, however, no pictures were taken. The rest of the visit, on the other hand, was captured in stunning detail. (You can tell I’m not lying because it says “Part I” up there in […]
