Belated Birthday Post

By admin | Published: 7 May ’08

First off, if anyone is interested in getting me a birthday present I got this book from the library and I want to own it. It’s “The Splendid Table’s How to Eat Supper” by Lynne Rosetto Kasper and Sally Swift. Ms. Kasper hosts this radio program called the Splendid Table. When Colleen and I first [...]

Headache

By admin | Published: 1 May ’08

I have had a headache for three, maybe four, days. It hurts, make it stop. Mason is an unhappy baby. We believe he is getting a tooth, perhaps a molar. He had four costume changes today, mainly due to moist shirts from the drool. The faucet is turned on and I can’t get it to [...]

As Colleen is working,

Violet walks across the room to where I am sitting. Looks at me quizzically, and says, “Have you seen my mother? She has curly hair.”

Saturday Night Fun

By admin | Published: 5 Apr ’08

Violet and I went out tonight. We went to the Brassfield Baptist Church because they were going to have a Bluegrass and Gospel Pickin’ Session. We didn’t go in, there were only seven cars in the parking lot. That and Violet fell asleep in the car right as we pulled up. It was 7:15, pretty [...]

March 15 – Saturday

By admin | Published: 15 Mar ’08

I got off my lazy butt today and took the kids outside. Do you know how much work it is to take two kids outside to play? The idea of wrangling the two of them in the same direction is almost too much to think about. Colleen took the two of them to Jumpin’ Beans [...]

My Outstanding Weekend

By admin | Published: 9 Mar ’08

A conversation relayed to me by Colleen: Violet: I need Daddy. Colleen: He’s taking a shower and spending some time by himself. Violet: But, what about me? A conversation I had with Violet last night: Me: (In the midst of a windstorm) Violet, look out the window, what are the trees doing? Violet: The trees, [...]

Curls

By admin | Published: 7 Mar ’08

Mason staring at the rain on the deck. Mason nearly looking at me when I took his picture. He never looks at the camera. Do you see his several thousand dollar smile? Notice the forty-five degree angle of the two bottom front teeth. Now, I’ve heard that you shouldn’t worry about these things until the [...]

A bit of an explanation.

By admin | Published: 2 Mar ’08

Our new favorite CD. There’s part of the cabinetry that is not off-limits to the children. Can you guess where that might be? Everyone’s feeling better, except the gushing runny nose of Mason. There’s always something going on with his face. I’m feeling better since my last post. Some of you were worried about my [...]

Picture of Mason

By admin | Published: 26 Feb ’08

This is from a few days ago,  I’m just now posting it. I wanted to write something here, but I am so drained. I can’t really say anything upbeat. Here’s the conversation Colleen and I are having… How much do you say in a “blog” like this? Is this for my benefit or yours? Do [...]

Monday in pictures

By admin | Published: 25 Feb ’08

Not much to say today. I guess there hasn’t been much to say for the last few days. Here are some snapshots from our evening. Violet is ever more elusive when it comes to having her picture taken. It’ll give Mason time to catch up, I haven’t taken nearly enough pictures of him. I caught [...]

Toy Monkey

By admin | Published: 23 Feb ’08

When the Toy Monkey (capitalized because that is now his legal name) is happy he now emits this high pitched squeal that makes my ears bleed. I’ve mentioned before that he is normally, always happy. The high pitched squeal happens on a very regular basis. I think I’ve mentioned in just about every post of [...]
