Say what, now?!
Friday – 29 June 2012 I don’t think that most people need something incredibly cute to get their Friday going… because, well, it’s Friday. That, in and of itself, is a cause celebre. But, for those of you who could use a morning pick-me-up, I have just the thing for you: Team DiVa Adventures – [...]
Nope, *still* not Belgium.
Tuesday – 26 June 2012 I want to go on the record as saying that having twins who are crawling and cruising is: Fun, Entertaining, and A little tiring Often, they both head in the same vector. However, those times when they don’t…? Let’s just say that I’m getting an inkling of what it’s like [...]
Adventure Babies – “Anything you can do…”
Friday – 22 June 2012 Yesterday, I posted a couple of videos of Diana crawling. Sara! and I figured that it would be “a while” before Vanessa followed in her sister’s proverbial footsteps. After all, she has seemed fairly content to either sit where she is or (as is more often the case) have someone [...]
Team DiVa Adventures: “Oh, the places you’ll go…” [VIDEO]
Thursday – 21 June 2012 As I’ve noted, Diana and Vanessa have hit the “cruising” phase – toddling while holding on to people or things – in their “learning to get around on our own” development. It’s been fun watching them as they explore. On the other hand, both girls have more or less eschewed crawling. [...]
“Style, it’s like a second cousin to class…”
Wednesday – 20 June 2012 The summer solstice has arrived. And it’s new comics Wednesday. And it’s Pasta and Movie Date Night. Quite frankly, I think that sounds like “Win” all the way around. Yesterday was a good day. With the able assistance of Dave and Steve, I was able to pick up some drywall [...]
“I wish that I could live it all again…”
Tuesday – 19 June 2012 This morning, Sector 2814 (at least the portion of it that contains our living room) is being protected by two members of the Justice League: Vanessa, as a rookie Green Lantern Diana, as Batgirl-in-Training (complete with her own… um… Bat-saucer) Shortly after these pictures were taken, the mini-Leaguers decided to [...]
Two things
Monday – 18 June 2012 This will be a brief post, but there are two important things that bear noting: Today is my sister-in-law, Melissa’s, birthday. (c) 2011 – Amanda Nelson Photography This is particularly important because for the past two years, I neglected to mention it… leading to two instances of “Melissa Kelly Week.” [...]
Father’s Day 2012
Sunday – 17 June 2012 It’s my first Father’s Day. And, so far, it’s been quite good. I’d like to wish a “Happy Father’s Day” to the fathers out there, as well. The day started with Team DiVa waking up at 7:00. It was slightly earlier than I had wanted to get up, but that’s [...]
The Green… Nightlight?
Thursday – 14 June 2012 Not only is it another NBN Thursday in the valley, but today is also Flag Day. In Team DiVa news: The girls apparently want to skip crawling and go straight to walking: Vanessa (l) and Diana They are “cruising,” where they’ll hold onto something and attempt to use it to [...]
“Carve away the stone…”
Wednesday – 13 June 2012 Middle of the week means new comics and Pasta and Movie Date Night. I’m good with both of those. Last night, I went to the gym with special guest star, Dave. He wanted to check out one of my upper body workouts, so we went through my chest and biceps [...]
Nope, still not Belgium. (But, at least the weather’s nice.)
Tuesday – 12 June 2012 According to a trusted source, today is apparently National Peanut Butter Cookie Day. I’m feeling a little remiss as a Rush fan: Clockwork Angels was released today… and I completely forgot about it until I saw something on Facebook. On the “plus” side of today’s tally sheet: The lawn is [...]
Friday: Stuff, Things and What-not
Friday – 08 June 2012 It’s not just Friday… Nor is it only Diana-Vanessa-Daddy Day… Today is also the day that Vanessa turns 9-months-old: The girls are taking their morning nap. After that, there will be some playtime. Then lunch. Then we’ll figure out whether we’re going somewhere before or after their afternoon nap. Most [...]
Thursday (or something quite like it)
Thursday – 07 June 2012 Not only is today NBN Thursday, it is also my mother’s birthday: And, it is also the day that Diana turns 9-months-old: To celebrate the day, the girls get to go for another visit to the pediatrician… which means: Shots! (Which also means “Cranky children this afternoon.”) Yay. ::: INTERLUDE [...]
Wednesday and all’s well…
Wednesday – 06 June 2012 Midweek. New comics day. Pasta and Movie Date Night… maybe. Yesterday, the destruction of the grotto demolition of the gazebo was complete. There’s now just a slight depression (and a little debris) where the gazebo once stood. Pictures here. Now, we just need to decide what we want to do [...]
A pre-summer Monday…
Monday – 04 June 2012 A new week is here. The weekend was good – and fairly busy – weekend. We started with a pancake breakfast/car show, supporting the local Boy Scout troop. Next, SaraRules! went to quilt club while I stayed home with Team DiVa. After she got back, I headed out to judge [...]
