I was reading Erin’s blog (prompted by bad news about Dale and Kim, who could use your prayers), and her story about her future footballerina reminded me of a game the girls play.
It started this spring, when we were in the park to get some pictures taken. The park had a man-made pond in […]
Here’s another short video I took with my pda phone of Serena and Eden playing in the play area at the mall:
Serena and Eden at Northlake
Eden has learned a new game. Once you get her started, she’ll grab your hand and say “Ashes Ashes” until you stand up and start singing “Ring around the Rosie”. And as soon as you all fall down, she pops right back up to do it again…

Serena almost got herself in big trouble this weekend. She found a Sharpie permanent marker and decided to draw a few circles on the oak dining table. After a few moments of panic, we grabbed for any cleaning products we could find — baby wipes, wet washcloths, Windex — but after a few […]
For father’s day, I got a handheld GPS (a Lowrance iFinder H2O). Actually, I got it a little early, so we had a chance to play with it this weekend. It had some nice features, but it proved a little difficult to operate (as well as a couple quirky problems), so we returned […]
We survived to her first birthday!
So much has been happening, it’s hard to keep up. Eden is saying key words — like mommy, daddy, and bubba (which is baby-talk for bottle, it’s not what she calls me). She’s walking and crawling up stairs (if we open the gate at the […]
We stayed in town for the holiday. We met Rhonda’s friend Lisa and her family at Cracker Barrel for a late lunch. It was kinda nice — we had a big round table in the corner, the kids behaved, and the food was good. The special included turkey, a little ham, stuffing, […]
I forgot to write about this last week, but Serena earned a trip to the emergency room by sticking sunflower seeds up her nose.
I saw her one day with a seed partially inserted in her nostril. I removed it and told her not to do that, then didn’t think any more of it. […]
So, this isn’t the type of thing you generally share with the world, but I’m going to do it any way. Serena decided this past week that it was time to start using the toilet. We’ve been working with her for several months, but there’s nothing special we’ve done recently. We do […]
We went to the lake today. We grabbed fast food on the way and ate lunch there. The weather was a little better than it has been — the temperature was below 90, and the humidity wasn’t oppressive.
After lunch we decided to take advantage of the weather and go for canoe rides. […]
