Come Check Me Out

Hey. I know, I know, you were expecting a picture of David. But I'm hear to tell you there's a NEW cute in town. Granted, I've been here a while, but I figured I'd pop in and show you just how darn cute I am. See? Check me out.



Behold more of my cuteness. http://samandeggs.blogspot.com

Pictures of the Past 4

Nirvana achieved - all the grandkids SITTING IN ONE SPOT LONG ENOUGH FOR A PICTURE.

Pictures of the Past 3

In October, we took part in a comedy of errors as a bunch of us went camping. Somehow, with all of us doing boneheaded things, we never actually took pictures of anything (or I lost them). While I do have a cool one on my cell phone, we just received a bunch from Aunt Marianne (Sean, if you have any, please send them!) The only picture I have worth salvaging is our best boneheaded move...leaving the pack and play at home (which explains why everything fit into our tiny Geo Prizm so darn well).



Here's a break-down of our "bed ad-lib"...
North Wall - Wooden Wall
East Wall - Laundry Basket (with padding)
West Wall - Suitcase (also blocking the ladder)
South Wall - Mattress off of bed
Support for South Wall - Gym Bag Strap hooked to Suitcase, bottles of water and soda
Box of Bottles of Water - Acted as a door stop (door is in bottom right corner of picture)

Even more entertaining a thought - the first night, David didn't take too well to it (surprise surprise). So Mommy had to climb in with him, sit with him, then somehow exit the area while David was falling asleep. Pretty impressive stuff she does.

David enjoys a good game of tag with none other than Grandma herself.

You know you're in good shape when you can get on all fours, chase your grandchild around, and live to tell about it.

Pictures of the Past 1

Starting a new series, based on the fact that I'm horrendously behind in posting. So check back all week for a new entry.

JIM: Wow! He just took some steps! When did that start?
ROB & HEATHER: Right now.
JIM: ....(speechless)...

That's right. In late September, Uncle Jim and Aunt Cath came to visit the same weekend David took his first unaided steps. Here was the recreated scene (after we all got over the emotional glee of David's milestone). This entire day gave birth to the game where David walks back and forth between parents. Great game.




Later, on the ride home, Uncle Jim called up Grammy and taunted her with his own emotional glee. Grammy rifled back, saying that she would stalk our young son until he had his first kiss, in which she would erupt in joy, call Jim up, and rub it in his face. This, of course, won't happen until college, so you can imagine what a scene this will turn out to be. Pictures will, of course, be provided, giving us about 17 years to teach Grammy how to use a digital camera.

And for those of you keeping track at home, the first sentence in the previous paragraph was true. The rest was pure hogwash.

Video: Learning

Here is the latest video of David at 13 and 14 months old.

Happy Halloween!

The real Halloween party post is coming in like 5 to 7 posts, when I get caught up.
