On Wednesday, we managed to get over to Rick and Becky’s to see my mom’s side of the family. Great-Grandpa reading Elizabeth the book he and Audrey gave her for her birthday. I don’t know how many more times we’ll have together, so I found it really sweet. Great Grandpa of four! Tommy got to […]
I had a chance to get some more great Nona and Janie pictures. And some variations on a theme…Nona with all her great-grandkids… …Nona and the six of us… …and a four generations picture!…

I didn’t take too many pictures of the early stages (mixing the cornstarch with water, mixing in the colors), but here the kids are, […]
Popsicles are the perfect treat at the end of a long, hot day.
After a really hard night, it’s nice to have sweet helpers.
In the past few days, Janie has become a completely new baby. Gone are the easy, sleepy days. Despite me being off of dairy and Mexican food for the past week and a half, she fusses all evening, has mucus-filled diapers, sleeps restlessly, and is generally going through that “delightful” 6-week colic stage. Fortunately, Laura […]
