Sam’s getting to be an old man now: he has reached the big ten-oh. This past month was quite the busy one for him and thus he has kept Mommy and Daddy busy as well. He has even roped Lydia into the game of Pick Up The Toy I Just Threw On The Ground (And […]

what vegetable isn’t allowed on a boat?
As I sipped on my coffee this morning and perused over some blogs, I hear Steven shout out from the bedroom/bathroom area: “Hey, do we have a leak?” Uh oh. “What?” I holler as I begin to head towards the bathroom. “Oh, my God — where?? I didn’t see any!” Visions of damp carpet, plumbing […]
sputnik; nine months in orbit
Hi, and welcome to the expectedly delayed nine month post of Sam! I doubt I’ll ever get one of these out on time. Near the 2nd, back when Sam actually reached nine months, he was under the weather and miserable; this past weekend, Steven and Lydia were under the weather in turn. My time came […]

sputnik; seven months in orbit
First off, my apologies for getting this done a bit late. Sam turned seven months old a full week ago, but he was a miserable soul and we were all waiting for Monday so we could get him to the doctor. It turns out he had bronchiolitis and an ear infection. It also turns out […]

discovery
Earlier today Lydia was running all over the house while Steven and I attended to different things around the house: laundry, Sam, kitchen dishes, Lydia’s escapades. It’s a typical weekend day. At this moment I was working on pictures and wasn’t quite paying attention to the outside world so it takes me a few moments […]
a thousand words
I was flipping an enormous amount of photos when I fell upon this shot of Lydia. Yep, that’s completely my daughter.
