I was going to write a quick post, but Kenny decided to climb into my lap as I was logging in.   So this is all I can say…

… is something that I never hear.   Kenny really does talk nonstop.   All day.   It’s charming, adorable, amazing, exasperating and sometimes exhausting.   Here is a transcript of our six minute ride to his gymnastics class today: “Nastics!   Ball!   Gym-to-play!   Copter?   Copter!   Roof!   Hat.   WINDY! … Read more

For the week leading up to Dave and Sonila’s wedding, I worked on getting Kenny to say, “Congratulations, Uncle Dave!” and he got pretty good at it.   So good now, in fact (even if it is after the fact) that he spent the whole drive to MOPS this morning shouting it at the top … Read more

We just arrived home, after a beautiful weekend of laughter, love, hugs, tears and lots of dancing.   I wasn’t able to get online at all in Florida, and as it’s late, I’ll have to save the writing of my stories until tomorrow.   But here are some quick pictures… The gorgeous bride and groom: … Read more

Hello Everyone: I am so saddened to write this update.    I had to bring Kristjana to the ER early this evening.   We lost the baby.   I would appreciate your prayers for Kristjana.   She had a very rough evening, and the doctors have admitted her for at least one evening because of … Read more
