The Wild Life

Ah, yes, the self portrait. And the self portrait of you with your child singing your praises. Actually, this was the best one, one of the few where Crew wasn't grimacing or wondering what in tarnation was going on. He probably still wondered what in tarnation was going on, but we all usually do.

As many of you may know, we have quite the assortment of wildlife that comes to visit us. This week we snapped these pictures of a whitetail buck from our front room. Ah scooted t'git th' rifle so we c'd haf us some venison stew. But t'no avail, ah reckon, as enny fool kin plainly see. We inded up wifout venison stew.

Two Days, Two Posts, One Record

This picture was taken yesterday. The onesie says it all.

Here is Crew in a very deep thought process. It went something like this: Mmm, that last bottle was good. Is that a new bottle on the nightstand? Mmm, food.

This picture is a few weeks old. We recently visited friends in North Platte, Nebraska and visited the local swimming pool. Some sweet photography skills by yours truly caught some diving action by Jett. He is the fish in the family. I think he is a marlin. Marlins are cool, aren't they? This is also the trip that I put sunscreen on too late and my whole upper torso peeled for a week. Good times.

Nothing new

We have really strong boys. For example, check out this picture of Rook. He is only beginning to flex and already his Batman suit is bursting at the seams. (Check out the shoulder.)


This is a picture of Crew and Rook, although I'm sure that Crew has changed in the week or two since we have taken this picture.


So, our dishwasher broke down for a little bit. We had to do dishes by hand (tough, tough times). Teri is in the habit of putting Crew up on the counter in his seat so his head isn't overkissed by Cannon or his eyes aren't jabbed by Rook. So one afternoon, Teri was "happily" washing dishes and she got carried away and before she knew what was happening, Crew was in the sink and covered by soap. I guess in the modern world it is called "multi-tasking."

Jon and Crew

Jon and Nathan Carpenter came to visit. So we took a picture of Jon and Crew.
