May 21st, 2008 · 9 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, tina

In support of Tina’s brief siesta from blogging, I have decided to keep you all somewhat entertained by sharing with you some information of our Monday’s FHE activity. (Yes, this is Dave. Tina is on a blog vacation. The previous post called Photosynth/Seadragon was also from me. I assure you, however, that any messages left […]

Potty Talk, Volume VI

May 13th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget

Since the last Potty Talk post things have improved quite a bit. Bridget had been in a bit of a slump, and I think that she was loosing hope that she’d ever get another PEZ dispenser. We decided to try for sort of a mini goal and award her a PEZ dispenser after only 3 […]

Head First

May 8th, 2008 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, tina

Last week we took Bridget to the park. She recently got up the courage to go down some of the bigger slides by herself, so she was pretty actively showing off. We decided it might be fun to teach her how to slide down on her belly. We were at Willow park – the big […]

Sweet Pork, Revisited

May 7th, 2008 · 5 Comments · a day in the life, food

Its been a little while since my last post about Sweet Pork. So, I thought I’d give you a little update on my progress in that regard. Not too long after the little tasting party we had, I got a comment on my blog that read: “Your recipe is far off. I personally work in […]

He said. She said.

May 5th, 2008 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, bridget

Bridget has made an interesting development in her language over the last couple of weeks. She’s started to recount events telling us who said what. Its pretty neat to watch her language develop like that. Previously she would say tell stories from her perspective only and without dialog. But now… Here are a few “He […]

Gardening?

May 2nd, 2008 · 12 Comments · a day in the life, domestic attempts, tina

I don’t garden. I don’t enjoy gardening. I hate getting dirt under my nails. I hate gardening gloves because there always seems to be dirt or something else gross inside. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl. And I always manage to hurt myself when I try to garden. Its just not my thing. […]

Socks and Sandals

April 30th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, tina

Lately I have been really careless (or maybe just care free) in the way I dress. Particularly if I am just running a quick errand here or there. I’ve worn socks with sandals, brown shoes with black pants, and a brown shirt with black pants. . . and thats not even to mention all the […]

Garage Sale

April 26th, 2008 · No Comments · a day in the life, random

We are having a garage sale this morning (8:00-12:00). We’re just trying to get rid of a bunch of things before we sell our house and move. Those of you that love garage sales should come check it out. Those that don’t should still come by and say “Hi!” I really can’t promise that there […]

Commercialization

April 23rd, 2008 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, bridget

Have you ever thought about how commercialized our society is? I am always hearing about this commercial or that ad. We have the basic cable package, but only because having it makes our high speed internet a couple dollars a month cheaper. We almost never watch it. In fact it is not uncommon for the […]

Picnic

April 22nd, 2008 · 6 Comments · a day in the life, bridget

The other day Marissa was over visiting. She and Bridget came in and asked if they could have a picnic. Since it was a little cold for eating outside, I setup a picnic blanket in the living room. They had a great time. We sure are glad to have friends like Marissa. Thanks for being […]
