The week past, in pictures.
My gorgeous daughter taken tonight: The kids built birdhouses today… We had to bundle up to hang the bird feeders. A picture, drawn by Violet, of our family. Notice Violet’s new found butterfly drawing skills. This picture has the “morning sky.” She drew three pictures that night, each with a sky from a different time [...]
Florida – Day 2
Day two of the Florida vacation, consisted (partly) of a walk to the park. A brand new, beautiful park, within walking distance of my father’s house. The day first began with Mason waking up WAY too early. Dad was nice enough to sit with him for a bit. On the way there: On the way [...]
Autumn in North Carolina
It’s autumn in North Carolina. We know by several different reasons: the constant shotgun shots that we can hear from our entirely closed up house signifying the slaughter of those obnoxious deer that like to run into the side of my car, the turning of the leaves (supposedly rather beautiful in the “mountains” of North [...]
The Cabin
The kids and I took one last peaceful journey up to the cabin (while Colleen had to stay home and sew wedding dresses). It’s so quiet (aside from the Harleys on the Blue Ridge Parkway). The kids are getting old enough to explore without me having to hover over them constantly. Mason is getting more [...]

It’s about time…
Life has been hectic, alright? Plus, the spacebar on my keyboard sucks, which makes me hate typing. Plus, if you don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything at all. Life in the Beesley household is at a fever pitch. Bridal season is in full swing for Colleen, not for me. Well, for [...]

Ants
A CONVERSATION WITH VIOLET The other day at bedtime, Violet says, “I have ants on my legs. They itch.” I look at her legs, there are no ants. I respond, “There’s no ants on your legs, it’s all in your head.” Violet pauses for a brief moment and says, “I have ants in my head?” [...]

Friday Night in the Yard
I’m going to to take 1,000 pictures a week, all in Manual mode, in an attempt to get to know my camera better. That ends up being 142 pictures a day. I, probably, used to take that many pictures in a day when Violet was young, but I’ve gotten out of the habit. The kids [...]

Our weekend…
Windsock… Looking older… Naptime fashion sense… Coloring… Violet drew Colleen a picture of a treehouse, bridge, and the sun (see above). She wanted to draw it again, but she needed the “directions”. Colleen finally figured out that it was this picture (from the front page of a coloring book):

A little catching up to do…
So, blog, it’s been a while… Sorry. How have you been? I’m bad. I neglect my blog, I neglect my email (sorry Mom!), I don’t like talking on the phone (sorry Mia!), and I’m just an all around bore. On the upside, though, I have two brilliant and amazingly adorable children. They are funny, talented, [...]

My Tuesday off
We were lucky to have a “snow” day on Tuesday, there was about three inches of snow. Wow. I turned on CNN at about 6 in the morning and turned off PBS at about 10pm. Overload. The day was not lost on Violet, she knew, kind of, what was going on. She was fairly well [...]
