Chris’s memorial had many moments. I admit my camera didn’t take too many, and I apologize for that. My shutter finger just wasn’t working so well that day. Suffice to say, a whole lot of people put time into getting there and making it happen. Grandma Marcia managed the whole thing and had it perfectly […]
See this image larger. Once in a blue moon, I’ll write a journal entry. I started a journal a long time ago, and stopped when I met Melissa. When Ian was born I started writing something like that… they’re “someday” letters to him. I don’t even know if I’ll ever give them to him, honestly. […]
August 8th, Nina plays with some of the toys at the cardiologist office. It was a time we hoped would be filled with good news. Instead the doctor’s appearance terrified her, and it was pretty much wasted time. See this image larger. We went to return Nina to daycare, to find her class was outside […]
Lot to catch up on… Alright, let’s go! Blurry Nina! See this image larger. Nina told me, at the time, that these guys were all in line to go to Java Gym. See this image larger. Swingin’ with Jake! (Technically these were July 29th… get over it! See this image larger. July 30th, Ian at […]
You’re going to have to excuse the lack of updates lately… Melissa and I trying to find each other and ourselves amidst the stress, the new schedules, and chaos of life. And now, let’s get July out of the way so we can head into August, shall we? Dialogue, July 2nd Nina impressed me with […]
Video, July 9th On our trip to the Children’s Museum in GR, Nina sets the table with Ian. Listen for “I’m not ready! I still cooking dinner!” To see this video, click here. Video, July 10th Ok so this video is super big, clocking in at 20 MB… but well worth watching for Nina’s faces […]
July 28th, Alright so… see that thing in Ian’s hands? He built it completely by himself. It is basically a backwards bow. The black dot where the two yellow things meet is a bolt with threads. The yellow parts are pushing out and away from each other, locking the threads of the bolt in place […]
July 27th, Aunt Dissy did Kaylee’s hair for the day. See this image larger. The kids were excited about the prospect of another day of fun! See this image larger. Did I mention that daddy cut Ian’s hair? See this image larger. Here comes a tackle hug! See this image larger. I warned you! See […]
July 26th, another day, another visit to someplace cool! (Again, I had to work… sorry kids.) Today it was back to the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum! (Consider this image a sort of title image… it happens later in the timeline.) See this image larger. I think Connor had been here maybe two or three times […]
July 25th. As you may or may not know, there are some dunes behind our house in the woods and over a little… I’ve never been there, believe it or not. Not a big fan of sand, in general. But these kids? Love it! They’d eat it for breakfast if they could, or in this […]
