Helping Out I took photos of Betsy this morning since she is 9 months today. Betsy was less than cooperative, but Carson offered to get in the chair and hold the sign for me. He did a great job of smiling for the camera, but had some trouble holding the sign so that I … [Read more…]
In Control What is it with kids and remotes? We met Ben for lunch this afternoon. Ben got ketchup on his dress shirt. I bought lovely peonies at Trader Joes. Betsy took a 2 hour nap. They finished the pergola!
Just for the thrill of it Diet Coke! Get it? Anyway. Don’t worry, the can wasn’t open. I do a lot of things that good parents aren’t supposed to do, but giving my kids diet soda or letting them play with sharp metal edges aren’t some of them. Today was one of those days that … [Read more…]

Water Baby Betsy loves the bath and really loved getting in the pool this afternoon.
First Bike When Ben bought his new mountain bike he wound up with a bunch of points at the bike store. So we took advantage of the points and the holiday and went to get a bike for Carson. Nathan had his red tricycle at the lake this weekend, and Carson took a liking … [Read more…]
