Started out kind of fine. Kid looking at her phone, petting a puppy. I told her she could light those candles. No little kids were in the house and we were right here. Yeah, okay, that was fine for about three minutes and then her hair was too close and there were too many pyro […]
This is from my niece’s instagram–her fiance posted this from his home about 30 miles from Minneapolis. It’s so darn cold here. These were taken last night after the snow. I do love those winter nights as bright as day after a snowstorm. It was just lovely, noises muffled, bright sky. But this: This is
It’s just us, indulging our new baby. Coming up on two weeks now. So glad for the pure sweetness and savagely sharp teeth of a newf baby. It’s been four long months without Sam, my buddy, who leaned on me, and breathed up all the air, and shook slobber up in my bubble. Glad for
It’s been a fun week. People get a hold of my camera. Justin Bieber hasn’t been this young in a decade. Here the two babies. She loves the puppy.

It was Kari’s turn to sleep in the puppy camp last night, so at 6 am when she had to get up for school, I ventured out there to sleep on the air mattress for a while. The puppy alternated between the bed and the draft under the back door. She sleeps like a champ.

She’s doing good, doing well. Since we’re taking turns sleeping with her in the puppy camp, we set up James’ air mattress, might as well be comfortable while we’re at it. Even though she’s very mild and prone to no mayhem, she does get tired out. Julia gave her a bath tonight and she figured
Awwww. She’s tiny, but loved it outside, chasing Maria and Kari around in the snow. Dan, who said puppy, in his mind? Equals work. Yes, indeed, true. There was a camp out with her in the family room last night, so the puppy wouldn’t be scared. Kari said part of the night she slept inside
