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 [...]

Snow – Day 2

By admin | Published: 31 Jan ’10

I’m not one to stay at home for days straight. These two are compounding my anxiety. I need to go for a walk or something, but I don’t own any boots. The upside of today was Mason’s 2 and 1/2 hour nap. He likes to nap. I like it when he naps. I was experimenting [...]

Snow

By admin | Published: 30 Jan ’10

We’re at a stand still. We’re already wondering if I’m going to be able to go to work on Monday. There’s about 6 inches of snow on the ground and underneath that a sheet of ice. It’s not supposed to warm up around here until Monday. I do not like being stuck in the house [...]

Autumn in North Carolina

By admin | Published: 1 Nov ’09

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 [...]

More of the same…

The blog posts have become stale. I think it’s my mood. I don’t feel like I should bring anything up, it’s all so depressing. So, I just post pictures of the kids. I could tell you about the company I work for, but that’s depressing… I could tell you about the plans for my attic, [...]

Birthdays and stuff

By admin | Published: 16 May ’09

Well, since we’ve last talked… Violet turned four. Here she is seen with her BEST friend, Emily: Our neighbors had a tree fall in their driveway, what you don’t see is the Audi that was underneath when the tree fell: There was field day at preschool. Sadly, next week is the last week of preschool [...]

Jesus Shaves

By admin | Published: 13 Apr ’09

Every year at this time I am reminded of one of my favorite stories by David Sedaris. He tells the story of being in France, being with a very diverse group of foreigners, and learning the French language. They discuss Easter. It’s funny, you should read the story. Mason is a junkie. His drug of [...]

Our weekend…

By admin | Published: 8 Mar ’09

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):

Mad Talent

By admin | Published: 2 Mar ’09

So yesterday, Violet, Colleen and I were hanging out in the bedroom. I was on the computer doing my own thing, Colleen was working on something, and Violet was drawing on some paper at Colleen’s desk. Violet says she’s going to write a grocery list. I told her that was fine, but she had to [...]
