Since they’re headed up here for Turkey day (two visits in one month! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! 🙂 ) and I’ve mentioned it in two different posts (here and here), I thought I better do a write up about Mom and Dad’s (Grandma and Grandpa or, less and less frequently, Grandma […]

Y’all remember the post a while back about Sam’s Baby Squashes? Well, tonight I was videoing Sam dancing to Jack’s Big Music show (I promise, videos to follow soon) and of course my memory card filled up. In looking for things to delete off the card, I came across this video from late August. I […]

Well, it seems I’m running about a week behind. I’ll catch up eventually…right? (Someone please tell me it’s possible – I hate being so far behind!) Last week, on November 5, our fabulous Caleb turned eight years old! Caleb is one of the most wonderful kids in the world. He’s smart as a whip (sometimes […]

It’s November 9, so that means it’s time for a Halloween post, right? Oh, yeah…sorry…such is the life of a busy working mom. However, we did have a fun and fabulous Halloween, complete with pumpkin searching: And what’s the point of having pumpkins if you’re not going to carve them? And, the finished scary pumpkins! […]

Caleb was named the Granger Wrangler Kid with Character for his class in the first six weeks. This is […]

That my kids are smarter than me. Caleb and I were watching Jurassic Park today. I’ve seen the movie easily a dozen times; it’s one of my favorites, and I still jump every. single. time one of the dinosaurs jumps out. Caleb barely bats an eye at the dinosaurs jumping everywhere and eating things. I […]

Because it’s impossibly hot, and they’re all impossibly precious.

Caleb likes to take pictures. Often he does self portraits. These self portraits are extreme closeups, like the one below. It’s a good thing he’s so cute, right? When I saw this picture, it immediately reminded me of an extreme closeup that Daddy actually took a few years ago, when we took the boys to […]

The other night, Caleb fell asleep on the couch while we were watching a movie. Used to, when Caleb fell asleep on the couch, Daddy or I could just carry him up the stairs. Well, he’s a little too big for that now. Plus, he was still in his clothes. We woke him up and […]

For Mother’s Day, I got a most awesome gift. I got to pick a photographer and have some pictures made! Well, of course the first person I thought of was Emily Melson. She’s incredibly talented and specializes in family pictures. She’s done lots of pictures of friends’ children and families, so she was my only […]
