Welcome to the dollhouse!

This is what she kept asking for. This, and a Santa hat.

Look how cute!

Sometimes Brenna tries a little too hard to make a great picture.

Holiday express

Jack Frost nipping at...

...your entire downspout!

Happy birthday

The boy is 2 today.

Starving art

Hey, buddy, can you spare an ice cube?

Frozen rain

Kids playing together.

I wish this happened more often.

Pretty in pink

Spray paint on snow

Maybe not the best way to leave a mark on the world.

Fall or Winter?

What the hell kinda season is this?

Hands.

The boy is not quite two years old.  Look at his hand!

Toddler approach to food

If you're not going to eat it, play with it.

On the way to school.

They were so cute until the sun got in their eyes.

Chicago train tracks

This is the view from the parking deck at an Office Depot in The City.

Xtreme fork usage!

Borrowed hat

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Bird in a hot tin pan.

Brunch

Logan tells me it's the best waffle he's ever had.

Hi! My name is...

At the DC, I have to wear a name tag. Why did the hostess at lunch
ask my name?

Cowpoke

The horse is probably close to thirty years old.

Battle squirrel

This squirrel was griping at me this morning. In a rare burst of
mammal mind reading, I heard "if this five feet of AIR weren't in my
way, I'd KICK your ASS!!!" Really. The thing was hostile.

Homework

The new computer closet

UPS on the floor, computers next to an attic hatch which provides
winter air. It's all awesome till spring!

Me and the son and the sun

This was a really good picture until the sun got involved.

Logan's nightgown

Last night we hadn't brought Logan's clothes from the old house yet,
so we put on his sister's shirt after his bath, and he wore that to bed.

Logan watches Elmo

Logan's bedroom essentials: crib, changing pad, TV&VCR.

Brenna as Hanna

Ms. Montana was well represented by her fans at the school Halloween
party.

Pumpkin Zombie attack!

Or maybe of was just squirrels eating pumpkin brains.

Heroes walk among us

Specifically, they walk with Mommy.

Skunk stuck in the fence

The dog found it yesterday, and we called animal control. They took
it out of the fence and left it next to the fence. This morning it's
back in the fence...

Salt and pepper

These look like Dr. McCoy's hypodermic.

Not Kate or Carrie-Anne

We have a lot of plants around the office, including, for some reason,
moss.

What's going on here?

The van is not running, and from out of the window, there's the sound
of some kind of power tool. Does this building not have electricity?

A boy and his toast

We have a four year old visiting today. Logan, at 22 months is almost
as tall as she is.

Cuteness above the legal limit

She looks and sounds like a toy. We have not named her yet, but the ladies of the house are lobbying for "Bella".

DVD at the new house

In soviet Russia, laptop programs YOU.

Logan is not feeling well today

Keys to the new house

We just closed on the new house, and the previous owners gave us 20 keys.

Small potatoes

About five minutes after getting up...

Dessert

A chocolate covered Twinkie from Kilwin's.

This used to ne mine.

Our regular sitter also cuts hair, so I got a haircut at home, and this is what came off. My daughter says I look great, so I guess all the ugly went into that pile.

Couch of cuteness

It wasn't long before the dog moved.

In the city today.

The last time I was here I was stopped on the street and asked for change—to feed an SUV's parking meter. A professional woman said, "I don't have a cup, but do you have a quarter?" Then the guy with her offered me $1 if I had four quarters.

Is this thing on?

This is only a test.
