Dec. 5: I can’t decide! Which photo should I enclose in this year’s Christmas card? I am planning on this one:But then I think, "No, do something more fun, more memorable!"This one will make people smile:Thoughts? Suggestions? Votes? I think I’ll order them tonight.
Dec. 5: Sylvia has been sleeping for about 40 minutes. We’ll see if she can make it past the 45 minute wake-up. The other day, I let her cry for an hour after both her morning and afternoon naps after she woke at the 45 minute mark. The next day, she took an hour-and-a-half nap…and [...]
Dec. 4: In the two hours since Andrew returned home from preschool, he’s uttered a handful of memorable phrases. For example: As we were leaving the playground, Andrew: "How much did you and Sylvia miss me while I was at preschool?"Me: "Sooo much! Sylvia kept saying, ‘Where is Big Brother, I miss him so much? [...]
Dec. 2: Ahh, home again. Andrew bundled up in his snow gear this morning and tromped around our yard, making tracks in the snow. Our flight home yesterday was smooth. Sylvia only had a few crying moments, and Andrew was again as good as good can be. That said, traveling is tiring in general, and [...]
Dec. 2: While we were in Texas, we had some family photos taken. The last ones we had done were when Andrew was (exactly) Sylvia’s age. A very narrowed-down selection are in the gallery.
Dec. 1: We’re heading home today. It’s been a wonderful visit. Andrew just adores everyone here, and Sylvia had a great time exploring and expanding her skill-set (she’s learned how to walk while pushing a small chair!). As you might guess, I took more than just a few (OK, 300) pictures while we were here. [...]
Nov. 27: We’ve finished an amazing Thanksgiving feast created by LuAnn. MmmmMMmmm good. Sylvia really enjoyed the food – especially the pumpkin pie! Here’s a video of the kids on this fun holiday.
Nov. 26: For reasons not clear even to me, I have not spent the last hour outdoors enjoying some beautiful Texan weather. Instead I’ve been catching up on photo editing and uploading. It’s an obsession, I tell you!Anyway, the result is that there are now photos from throughout November in the gallery. Enjoy!Nov. 1-21 and [...]
Nov. 26: Sylvia is a sick girl. She was up most of the night on Sunday and Monday nights…two teeth were coming in, and she was one very unhappy camper. She’s now the proud owner of a top left front tooth. She’s also almost got a forth tooth on the bottom. Once that comes all [...]
Nov. 25: We’re happily writing to you from Texas. It’s calm, it’s relaxing. And our day of travel wasn’t bad. Sylvia did very well. She only cried for a few minutes here and there (once when the arm rest fell and clonked her on the head). Andrew’s a rock as a traveler. And now I’m [...]
