On Monday we had the great pleasure of going to the zoo with a friend of mine, Trista (not to be confused with my sister), and her son Draven. Draven is seriously the happiest, most good-natured baby I have ever been around. How did she get so lucky? Ali, take note please! The weather wasRead more
Yes, we have an update. For the record, there have been one to two attempts that have gotten deleted and, well I get frustrated and step away. For like a week. And the longer the hiatus grows the harder it is to return. This better make it to see the bluish light of a computerRead more
A couple weekends ago my "family of origin" and I got portraits done as JCPenney. The pics just got picked up with afternoon which reminded me to post a few here, if you haven’t seen them already. They are very low-res, so sorry about that but, trust me, they turned out really great. Tony andRead more
Yes, we made it! And a day early at that. HUGE thank you to my mom who more or less made the entire move smooth with her help. We were glad we ended up being ready a day early b/c there was snow in the mountain the day we were supposed to leave. The houseRead more
One post covering two months? Pathetic. And yet, necessary at the moment. I’ doing this mostly to get some new pics up, kind of for you all out there but mostly for my dad who Ali forces to look at "Ali" with her whenever we are in town. Which was last weekend. And this one.Read more

December 20th, the night before Christmas at our house. Enjoying a Christmas snack at her new table and chair set. We took our tree down on December 21st!!Read more
Okay, let’s start with that. Again, a video. We’ve been having some fun with Tony’s new[ish] MacBook and hope you have too. Yes, life as we know it is over. For the moment we just moved the changing table over and hope that buys us a little more time. Yes again, Ali is wearing aRead more
* Note: we still have power! Yay! It’s been pretty windy and VERY rainy but our electricity is holding strong. I think we’ll be over the worst of it in a few hours. And snow is forecasted for us on Sunday. Which is a delightful possibility if power is also to be in the equation.Read more
What? Well, kind of. Impromptu. And, if you can’t tell, Tony took most of these photos NOT me. He is absolutely the true photographer in the family. Below are some highlights but there’s more from our day at the park. Hmmm, can you tell I’m pretty much at the tail end of my schoolwork this term?Read more
