Okay these are the three guys I encountered in the room upstairs. This picture is from a few years ago, but it’s a cute picture of just them together. Up in the room, I asked about Little Jay’s work schedule and then before I departed, said to Tim, “I gotta kiss you ’cause you’re so
This is one of those people. Maybe she did it all summer too, but mostly she was barefoot anyway, so we didn’t realize. She will not leave on shoes or socks. Before we leave to do errands we must search all around for the shoes and socks. Then between every stop in the car, we

There they go. As soon as they decided to get all this tubing crap out, the clouds arrived. Okay there they are, specks across the lake. Sam paces. And the rope broke, so they had to tie that back together. And then we loaded up all this mess and made our way home. Thank goodness
Okay tonight? Kirsten’s dog was up in James’ room and ate a rotten Easter egg she found. Hello! Easter was a MONTH AGO. Kirsten called the emergency vet and was told she should induce vomiting, and the method for doing so, of which we had nothing–no hydrogen peroxide, and no turkey baster. Heidi has both,

Here’s my mom with Dan and Alicia’s baby. And some guys up in the room. A long time ago, we used to do kid birthday parties, but after a while they just became difficult. The kids didn’t know that many other kids, so when they were inviting only two or three people, it became pretty

There he is–first Christmas 1997. He used to be so little, and soooo cute. Oh gosh, the girls and I doted on him terribly. But we had to–he was so funny and adorable, a tiny little guy with the most fabulous gopher cheeks. Jimmy, Jimmy. One day the kids were painting in the dining room
