Sunrise on vacation

One benefit of vacation with a six month old is you are woken up in time to enjoy a gorgeous sunrise.

Does Cake Mix Go Bad?

I guess I should start looking through my cupboards. Does anyone have older stuff sitting around?

If You're Happy and You Know It

I'm Tired of Looking at the Old Coat

 . . . so here's a pic of T.   

And, yes, he has 6 teeth. 

Goodbye to an Old Friend

After much encouragement from my beautiful wife, as well as everyone else who saw at it, I finally decided it was time to retire my winter coat.
Some stats from the lifetime of my old friend:

Winters: 15 - 1994- 2009

States gone skiing: 7 -MN, CO, ND, MO, WA, UT, Manitoba (I know, not quite a state)

Basketball games worn to: 300-450

Times washed: 3?

Windshields scraped: Too many to count

Starting 2009 at 6 Months

Happy New Year!

We had a great, low-key celebration last night and we even stayed awake past midnight! (Excluding the little one, who tried to stay awake, but in the end had to settle for waking at regular intervals throughout the night.)


My friend, Rachel, stopped by for New Year's Eve and took the opportunity to supervise T's dental hygiene practices. She is quite the pro as auntie to 6 little boys!

Today marks not only the new year, but T reaching 6 months of age. He amazed me last week by revealing his new found skill of sitting unsupported.

(I feel like I can hardly look away from this little guy since he seems to be learning new things all the time.)

Tomorrow is the 6 month check up and I need to check our Tylenol supply in case we have another Fever Friday.

Christmas Holiday was a Blast
