  • Uh-Oh!

    Jenny's first casualty.

    At first miffed that she was not given any ice cream, even after successfully grabbing the cup,
    she assumed a repentant air after being banished from the table.

  • Snow Day

    *Note: The majority of this post was created during breaks in the Aggie/Baylor bball game.  Any lack of flow should be blamed on the Aggies.

     

    Okay, so after posting yesterday, I decided a whole snow day post was in order.

    Jonathan ended up getting the whole day off!

    (I know this is a repeat, but there has to be at least one snow picture)

    It snowed in the kitchen too.  According to New Year's resolutions, Friday = Dr. Pepper day, and pizza = DP, so Friday = pizza, right? (pizza also = movie)

    A dearth of pepperonis was enough to brave the arctic temperatures.

    Jenny watching the Spurs with Daddy.

    I love the wiggly arms in this one.  She lay there (with Daddy's hat on) and watched us work a puzzle while listening to Pandora, for 1/2 an hour!

    I guess we were thinking warm thoughts.

    All in all a wonderful day.  It felt like Saturday all day, and we woke up the next day to Saturday again!

  • Just for Amy

    Since I've been homebound,  I decided to try some pictures with outdoor lighting.

    Not so sure about this new arrangement

    My happy baby

    Then we have my first attempt at editing home videos:

    She likes flying like an airplane above me.  She's telling you all about it.

    We actually got snow in spite of the weatherman predicting it!

    Jenny gets to touch snow for the first time!  Jonathan is home, if only for the morning.

    Our snow-baby

  • Christmas Preparations

    We are getting close to our 2nd Christmas as a couple and our 1st as a family.

    Jonathan's experience climbing on roofs leaves him with no fear on the edge.

    Artificial trees may be cost effective, but they require lots of fluffing.

    I think I'm more picky than Jonathan.

    Our tree displays every ornament we own.  The favorites are out front.

    We were honored to portray the Holy Family for church.

  • Jenny Arrives

    So now that I have something to post, I'm out of the habit of posting.

    Jenny was born Nov. 16th at 12:17am.

    Jonathan got to hold her as soon as she got checked out.

    My first meeting of our new baby.  She didn't look anything like I expected.
    I soon got used to her little face and I now think it is absolutely adorable.

     

    She spent several days in the NICU, and we visited her as often as possible.

    She was very healthy and the biggest baby in the NICU!

  • Hardworking Husband

    This post is for my hardworking husband who was crossing off the honey-do list this week.

    This was the first cool Saturday that we've been home all day, so we decided to work on some outdoor projects.
    Jonathan replaced the broken rungs of the ladders on our swing set.

    He also re-covered the hole in the middle.

    He then made the first stab at the fall leaves on the roof and the ground.
    Most of this while I was taking a nap.

    Our improved backyard needed to be tested, so we hired some playground inspectors.

    It passed with flying colors.

    I love my man. heart

    We also voted early to make sure that the baby won't come on election day happy

  • Community Quick Paint

    A couple of weeks ago several budding artists were photographed creating their masterpieces.


    Jonathan (the leftie) made his first painting on a real canvas. Lori (the barefoot one) spent the longest on her work of art.

    Anne (the teacher) gave tips on perspective and shading.
     
    Michael (the real artist) used the most creative colors.     Jim (the creative thinker) turned unwanted white space into a plea for preservation.

     
    The interesting architecture in downtown Bryan created a variety of subjects.
    The artists' work was displayed in a local gallery.

                      Jonathan                                                      Lori

                                                   Michael

                 Jim                                               Anne

    A hearty lunch was enjoyed by all after a hard morning's work.

  • Mockingbird Update

    Our mockingbirds are on round two.  The ironic thing is that I would have had no idea if the parents hadn't attacked us.

    These juveniles were hiding quietly in our front bushes.

    I had to get an umbrella of protection to take this photo.

    Then I tried to get some video of the parent attacking, but the best I got was this.  The baby gives a distress call right before I get hammered.
