Happy To See Me She was happy to be sitting on the couch and reading her book. And to see me, of course. 🙂 Okay, so I didn’t actually mow the lawn myself (Beth did it), but it finally got done. At least most of it did. The grass was going on eight inches in…

It’s Cold Outside! I absolutely love this picture! It’s quite possibly the best picture I’ve ever taken (my opinion) of Kirstin in the last seven months. She’s just too cute! So it’s been six days since my last blog entry — my apologies for the masses of loyal readers. 🙂 This past week has been…

Feet Taste Good I took this picture as Beth was changing her into pajamas. She likes eating her feet. I spent most of my awake hours today in the tractor. Simple as that. It was a fairly gloomy and overcast day with very little appearance from the sun. Regardless, there’s something very relaxing, almost zen-like,…

Here’s Looking At You! She has such an inquisitive personality already. Okay, that’s a bit of a poor title, but I’m awfully tired and can’t come up with anything better right now. It’s been a long day. I started out in the field and did that through the mid-afternoon. Then I came home and read…

Structural Engineer She’s studying the structural integrity of the creation. And doing some ‘stress testing’ of it. So in the last twenty-four hours I’ve managed to get three of the seven episodes of The War burned to DVD for later viewing at my pleasure. I’ve got two more ready to go — I’ll do one…

Peaceful Times She so quietly fell asleep tonight in the bouncer just prior to getting ready for bed. She usually stays awake and plays, but today must’ve been too big a day for her. It’s tough being a baby, you know. It’s been another busy weekend, and I skipped another day’s post. But I was…

Not Sure About Sauerkraut Sauerkraut is perhaps not her favorite food (yet), but she was open to repeated attempts at tasting the juice. 🙂 Not really. I did ‘take the day off’ from work, however. It was gloomy, so I knew I wouldn’t likely be out in the field at all…so I figured it was…

A Cute Felix This is probably my most favorite picture of Felix. Ever. For some reason it turned out pretty much perfect. He’s usually not quite this photogenic. His upward-looking glance is what I like best about the picture. Okay, this is a short post. Really. I just checked, and partially due to the numerous…

Stop It, Dad! I was tickling her and getting pictures at the same time. Quite a feat. She has the cutest little laugh, and this is probably my favorite picture of the bunch. So I’m going to shamelessly brag about my fifteen seconds of newfound Internet fame. A long story short (as possible), I read…

Talking To Me She was a bit on the chatty order when she woke up after coming home. So as of this morning, I have recorded the entire set of Ken Burns’ The War, with one exception — episode #5 — which I’m set to record on Saturday afternoon. I’m excited to watch it all,…
