So many arms, so little time.

I’ll try to make a happy game to play…

November 21st 2005 in Journal

So, this weekend was great fun. Saturday was our big, family date with our friends, The Bryants. We went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and then had dinner at Ruby Tuesday. The evening was capped off, as these evenings almost always are, with a trip to Wal-Mart. Hey, we both have busy families to feed and clothe. We have to consolidate our outings. The movie was very good, dinner was yummy, shopping is always good, but the company was best. We always look forward to our monthly family dates with them.

Sunday I spent helping my cousin and her husband empty a trailer of the furniture they, wisely, decided not to let the Navy move for them. She’s going to be staying with us for a couple of months while her husband wraps up things at their last duty station in preparation for their new one. Ah, the joys of the nomadic, military life. But, it’s all for The Corps. Ooo-rah!

While I was doing that, Devin and Corrie Ann played in the leaves in the orchard. That’s the picture above. Apparently the boy requested that it be posted to, as he calls it, “the innernet“. So there it is! Isn’t he adorable? He had a big ol’time and dragged me out to the orchard to tell me all about it when I got home.

The rest of Sunday was spent catching up on Medium with the wifey, all cuddled on the couch. It was a very good weekend.

It was a pretty big pile. Even after a whole afternoon of jumping into it and crunching down the leaves, it came up to my mid-thigh when he showed it to me.


Stuck their tongues out in a row…

Today it feels like winter, finally. It was a crispy 28º F when I got home last night. Yeah, yeah, I know. For all you folks in The Great White North, that ain’t nuthin’, but around here that’s crispity-cold.

This morning when I woke up the sheets were that perfect warm that tells you the air [...]

The wheels on the bus go round…

I meant to post this earlier, but didn’t get around to it. Not a terribly monumental event to photograph, really, until you understand that David (the one on the far right and sixteen years old) was umwittingly pinned in there by the little ones. I put in two quarters and snapped the shot. You’re welcome, [...]
