It’s a Holly Jolly Christmas
It’s nearly Christmas, and it’s been another interesting month to be sure. This past week especially – a week that’s usually reserved for Christmas planning and merriment – has been particularly… well, difficult. In the end though, in between hospital visits and gall bladder attacks, we pulled it off. We wrapped presents. We sent Christmas …

Turkey Bowling
Friday night was the monthly Cub Scout pack meeting. Pack meetings are generally quite long and quite loud (says the overly sensitive pregnant woman) and this one was no exception.

How Paxton lost his tooth
He’s lost three now… his bottom two, and now his top front. It was loose for awhile, but wasn’t quite ready to come out on its own. He inadvertently helped it along. We’d just gotten back from getting their Halloween costumes, and in his excitement to try his on he accidentally kneed himself in the …

Offroading, Apple Picking, and Cub Scout Camp
And time keeps on marching by… Another crazy couple of weeks we’ve had. I have pictures for all of it, but because they’re trapped in a virtual disease land with my broken laptop, they’ll have to wait till next time. Our new truck got to go on another off-roading adventure, this time with the whole …
