The Times...They are a Changin'

As you may or may not recall, I'm a huge reader of other blogs. I use Bloglines to keep track of all my readings. Usually, I click on the title of the blog and read the posts there, rather than in the reader (the actual Bloglines site), but lately--since I'm waaaay behind--I've been reading in the reader (starting to sound convoluted) because it can sort the posts from oldest to newest. (If you're confused, it's because you haven't used Bloglines or care about readers. Skip to the next post.)

THEN I realized that my own blog wouldn't allow me to do such a thing because I have been writing "expandable posts," (where you have to click on the "read more" link). So we're going to try an experiment: no more clicking on "read more." You're welcome! or Sorry! depending on your preference.

Happy Hallmark Holiday Weekend!

A boy after my own heart.

One down...

One to go.

Better luck next time.

Did You Hear? It Snowed.

There were late-night antics in our backyard on Tuesday evening. The camera was acting up in the darkness, so I couldn't possibly capture the GLEE with which the Munchkin enjoyed his sled ride....and the GLEE with which Oliver ran after the sled, doing a happy doggie dance. We're pretty sure he would have been even happier if we would have allowed him to ride in the sled, since he's part human.

(It actually got to 12.5 inches by the next morning.)






Man, when I don't have a commute, I love the snow. It looks so pretty in our yard. And Brad has a new snowblower. So that's fun.

I was recently informed by our friends, "Huey's Mom and Dad," that evidently we've started a little Super Bowl Celebration tradition--completely without realizing it!

For the third year in a row, The K's and the R's spent Sunday evening together, with our boys who are--you'll remember--eight days apart in age. It was incredible to see them play together so nicely, especially since The Munchkin is notoriously opposed to sharing his toys of late.

My Grizzly Adams and Son (and yes...I LOVE the beard!)


True to football form, The Munch got himself quite the shiner when he tried to tackle our bed frame. You know it's bad when it's turned blue before you can even pick him up to comfort him. Ouch.


The boys.

A Random Assortment

There hasn't been a lot of picture-taking during the last few months. It's a combination of a) moving, b) batteries not charged, and c) my current frustration that my photos never turn out as nice as some other people I can think of (COUGH Kage, COUGH Fancy Toast). But I've been sufficiently nagged into posting a few. So here you go. I'll add to this album as the winter progresses...through June. :o)

This word is so exciting, it deserves its own post. Ready?

He (finally) says, "MAMA!"

And he's talking about me!
