Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

What? You mean you’ve never seen a catcher who included a cape and workbench-leg-shin guards in his gear?

Daddy-style. 🙂

Daddy went to the store tonight, and when Sadie went crazy at the window, Sam and I thought he was home. To the window we rushed to greet him, and Sam didn’t quite apply the brakes soon enough. BONK! Head to window corner. When I asked him if he was okay, he half-wimpered, “yes…” while […]

Yes, folks, we’ve hit another sports milestone! Caleb starts kid-pitch baseball this (fall) season, and he’s doing great! The Keller 9U Chargers started their fall season last night with a bummer of a loss. BUT, the kids had fun, played well, and my Bear got to come in as a relief pitcher! Daddy said** he […]

It’s finally here! We’ve had the bike for not quite 24 hours, and I think he’s only been off it long enough to sleep. First, the stills: Favorite quotes: “I park my bike in the office.” “We don’t eat bikes. We ride bikes.” (this morning) “We go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.” “The big truck […]

Tracy and Steven (not the same person as the birthday boy Steve, just in case you were confused) and Eli and Eliana came up for the […]

Finally! The last installment of our family trip recap. (I know you’ve been on pins and needles). On Friday, July 20, we loaded up to the gills again and headed toward Buena Vista, Colorado. Bryan’s original plan was to go from Almont to Taylor River Canyon to Taylor Park, then up the dirt road side […]
