Yes, indeed! Missing a tooth, and yup those are his real eyelashes! Here you are, Buddy, with your special cupcake and shark. This was from Saturday when we were at Dairy Queen: A picture Heidi took at Christmas, very handsome: This is one of my favorite pictures of you–just a big old cold in early […]
We had one on Friday night, these two, living it up. Lillian, peeking out: Saturday night we had these guys. She plays dolls, which is pretty cute. We played Legos for a while, watched part of an incredibly boring Pokemon movie, read stories. Yeah, reading of the stories. That was sweet. Not. Yeah. It was
It’s fall, so about 2/3 of the light bulbs in this house have suddenly gone out. I’ve been going here and there with my little ladder changing bulbs all over the place. Two bathrooms had gone completely dark, and that was a pain in the neck. We went to Menards, bought bulbs, ($35!! for light

Below are the attempts at getting a family picture of them all. Dannell had on that beautiful dress I love. It fits perfectly, plus cute shoes. m.c. looks like
We went. It was beautiful, wonderful, perfect. First was a church service, a Catholic mass. We are not Catholic, but it’s still lovely. Then the kids sang. This is the kid rolling around on his grandfather. It’s a little aching to be there, at a grandparent occasion, seeing how the kids light up when they
