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 [...]

Mason’s (2nd) Second Birthday Party

By admin | Published: 16 Jan ’09

I know we’ve been celebrating Mason’s birthday for (what seems like) weeks. He had his last birthday party tonight with just the family. It was a nice, quiet affair with cupcakes and a couple presents. That boy loves to blow out his birthday candles. He got a Fisher Price Cash Register and some more Legos [...]

Corn Dog

By admin | Published: 6 Oct ’08

Mason had a corn dog at lunch the other day. He didn’t really know how to eat it. He ended up just having a photo session instead. Sorry for the lack of posts. I’ll try to do better, I promise. And now for the corndog eating technique… We don’t think Mason likes to eat food [...]

This Week at the Beesley’s…

By admin | Published: 21 Sep ’08

My favorite pictures of Mason are right after he wakes up. Mason doesn’t get to play with the “people” very often, so when he get the opportunity he makes the most of it.  He tries, occasionally, to play with Violet and Me (or Violet and Mom), but doesn’t quite get the whole “group play” concept.
