Kong!

One of our dear friends offered to watch the two kids this evening while we went and saw King Kong at the local cinema. As I have seen the original movie from 1933, Peter Jackson (same guy who directed the Rings trilogy) did a nice job staying somewhat true to the original, with some obvious… Continue reading Kong!

Lost His Mittens

Yesterday afternoon, Tiffany was home tooling around the house when she heard some cries coming from the deck outside the side door. Turns out that there was a little orange tiger cat (kitten, actually) freezing itself out there. Luckily for us, we have the Have-A-Heart trap because the kitten would not allow Tiffany to come… Continue reading Lost His Mittens

We are still working on adding recent photos to the mix, too, as well… Continue reading Photos Are Coming…

The interesting part was that it all came down in what seemed like a matter of minutes. Jeff had to run down to City Hall for a building permit so that he… Continue reading Snow Day!

Lea’s First Tooth!

Miss Lea cut her first tooth! The other night she was having trouble sleeping; perhaps that was the reason? It appears to be one of her eye teeth, right side, bottom jaw. That puts her first tooth at 12 weeks, about two weeks earlier than Jakob when he cut his first. By eight months he… Continue reading Lea’s First Tooth!
