Henry wanted to show you his karate punch.  I’m afraid the smile slightly diminishes the threat of his fist.

04.29.10

The great green hope.

{Thanks for your prayers for my baby.  An update is here.}

04.28.10

This poor baby, with her fever so high.  I hope you’ll pray for her, please.

04.27.10

…if THAT IS your REAL name…

Papa-with-no-beard, sorry we didn’t get a birthday sign made for today’s photo.  It’s been one of those days.  For the rest of you - In case you’re not my FB friend and thus already informed, Maria had a chest x-ray today and likely has pneumonia.  AWESOME.

04.26.10

I have been waiting for this moment since June 19, 2008.

04.25.10

Look who came to the church picnic today?  4 month old Bella! 

{wishing she were ours}

04.24.10

Apparently Henry is still as captivated by Curious George (the movie) as he was over 4 years when we took him to the movie theatre to see it.  The thought of taking Maria to the movie theatre makes me laugh nearly uncontrollably.  I’d sooner hold a rabid raccoon in my lap for 90 minutes.

04.23.10

Say what now?

04.22.10

Someone wasn’t thrilled with her bath.  Someone else isn’t thrilled with the way the grout was done on this tile, making it impossible to keep clean.

04.21.10

 
WOAH.  I’m so thrilled with my recent addition to my camera bag, for it makes photos like this possible.  If you are flash-phobic like me, get one NOW.  It will change your life.

04.20.10

Well, I went out to the garden just now to take a picture of the 3 tomato blossoms that have appeared, but as I was coming inside I decided to pull up that dead potato plant.  How about that?

04.19.10

Who comes back from their honeymoon (9 years ago in July) with a broom?  Us, that’s who.  Wondering why I posted a photo of it?  Click here.

04.18.10

Maria chose this book and pushed Timon away so she could read it by herself. 

04.17.10

It’s never too early.

04.16.10

Her Highness decided to take her afternoon snack on the floor today.

04.15.10

Maria is learning to appreciate the beach.  Today we conquered her fear of sand.

04.14.10

Someone’s upset about forgetting their backpack at Jenni’s house.  Again, I’m not naming names.

04.13.10

We picked out some new books at the library on Saturday, which Henry’s been working his way through briskly.

04.12.10

The person to whom this laundry belongs will turn 6 years old one month from today. 

{This is load 3 of 14 that need to be done after not having a functioning washing machine for over a week.}

04.11.10

Took the youth [and Henry] to the beach for a dinner picnic.  As usual, I’m left asking myself why on earth I don’t go there more often.

04.10.10

Well, would you look at what we have here?!?

04.09.10

Remembering and missing him, today and everyday.

04.08.10

Someone woke up with a fever this morning.  I’m not naming names.

04.07.10

Maria reads by the light of the Rays game. 

[Some days it’s harder to come up with pictures than usual.  Sorry.]

04.06.10

Henry’s favorite player, back from last year’s season ending hand injury, ready for the home opener.

04.05.10

Monkey see, monkey do.

04.04.10

Happy Easter, everyone.  He Is Risen.

(thanks to Mimi & Papa for the lily!)

04.03.10

Maria’s enjoying a little light reading.

04.02.10

Guess where we spent the day?

04.01.10

Yup.  Still alive, still blue, still swimming after all these three months.
