My Tuesday off

By admin | Published: 24 Jan ’09

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 [...]

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 [...]

Trip to Cleveland (Day 2)

By admin | Published: 10 Jan ’09

There aren’t many pictures of Violet’s face anymore. She has tired of my constant picture taking. I’m going to get her tomorrow, though. I want to take some good, quality portraits of them and I swear she will cave. Here’s a couple, token, pictures of the kids opening presents, nothing too exciting. Taking pictures in [...]

Trip to Cleveland (Day 1)

By admin | Published: 6 Jan ’09

The flight there was marred by a delay, excessive heat in the cabin, not enough legroom in the seats, and a whiny two year old (and a whiny thirty-seven year old).
