I’m trying to figure out how to work the new blogger settings–frustrating. No doubt I’ll get better at it eventually. All these pictures are bunched up tight together, and the old way of placing space between them does not work. Anyone know how to do it? It was a nice weekend, all in all. Today’s […]

It was my mom’s birthday party tonight–happy, easy going crowd. Okay, this is Tim apologizing to his cousin for throwing a poker chip that hit her in the head. No she was not injured, just deeply offended. No idea what the back story is on this. Here’s my mom with a pile of grand

That’s the little one. This is one of the aunties. Here’s Uncle James, cuddling, and b.g. with his special milk. When he wants milk he specifies the kind. And here we are. He’s got his arm around my neck twirling my hair, and between the two of them–b.g. smelled like the strawberry milk he was
