Last night was Lansing’s Annual Silver Bells Festival. We took Levi and it was really neat to see the look on his face as the parade went through. The Marching Bands were loud and he was fascinated by the drums. And all the floats were lit up with lights; Levi was just in awe. Look…

Since it is the month of Thanksgiving (My favorite holiday!) I though I would list the things that I am thankful for, one for every day of the month. Today is the 9th, so I have some catching up to do. Each time I update the site, I will post from the last day posted…

Yay! What fun, for us anyway. 🙂 Levi had a big day: he helped carve a pumpkin, dressed up and paraded through Menards, and then we went Trick-or-Treating during his nap time. Which means I had a fussy baby when I got home, but it was fun and we got some good pics. Will I…

These are better, with him chuckling when he reaches the magazine with the baby face… so cute!!! My little reader and crawler!

True, all out crawling. He’s done figured it out now! No more rocking, no more scooching. Now we really MUST baby proof. And if I can figure out how to post a video, I can post that… Hey Matt – you wanna see it??? Tell me how! But of course, I do have other photos…

There is something to be said about over-thinking stuff… 😉 As is wont to happen when starting solids, Levi’s had a bit of trouble moving things along, as evidenced by the streak and occasional solid pellet bit in his diaper, and the shrieks and wails coming from his as he pushed them out. So I…

Hear is the latest on my KR. The first is the boat without the spar, then the landing gear mount and template. Next lining up the leg mount and template, then its do or die time: DRILLING! 12 for 12; YEAH! Last the brackets mounted to spar. The fuse is now on it’s gear; I…
