Yep, Benton and I are pretty much shut out here, but that’s the way things shook out. Carson was quite taken with the twins. He was happy to let them pull his hair, wanted to play with them at every opportunity, and refused to leave until they had woken up from their morning nap. And […]

As is the norm with this blog, Alana garners her own entry. Anna Hallac has quite a wardrobe of dress-up clothes, which Alana was happy to make her way through. She tried on a dress…and then got to feed Maya: She got to be Supergirl…but very much did not want that documented. Go ahead, call […]

Carson was pretty hooked on the inflatable bouncer/slide/caterpillar/Velcro wall set up in the gym:  And there was face painting. Shocker: Carson went for the camouflage and Alana went for the butterfly. That was followed up by a birthday party…at Pump […]

One of the nice features of the blogging platform I’ve just switched to is that I can somewhat dynamically point you to all of the past posts related to my tetherball woes. When last we checked in on this tale, we had just received a notification from our homeowners association that said something to the […]

For a variety of reasons, I’m in the process of moving us from a Blogger-driven blog to a WordPress-driven blog. No updates or comments will be lost in this process. I hope. But, things may be a little interesting for a few days as I work to tweak and tune things. If you do notice […]

My talented wife! She whipped up this bunny cake today while watching Carson, his friend, and Alana. It’s for a bake sale that is part of the rescheduled Glacier Ridge Elementary Meltdown festival this weekend (rescheduled from last weekend’s blizzard).
