Oral Surgery

Due to various things going on in Anna's mouth, she had to have several baby teeth pulled this morning by an Oral Surgeon. Everything went well medically and she handled it very well.

In the waiting room.

How she really felt while waiting.

Recovering-- a little groggy from the IV.

Home on her throne that Derek and the other kids set up for her while she was gone.

Watching The Game

It Says 'Wisconsin' To Me

This is the beginning of the green and gold layered jello that we're making for the Superbowl on Sunday. Beer, brats and cheese curds all say 'Wisconsin' to me, and for some reason so does Jello. Since beer and brats don't fit my tastes and cheese curds aren't available out here (why is that, since CA is the largest dairy producer?), we're making some Packer striped Jello instead. I don't know who'll want to eat lemon and lime Jello, but it'll look festive!

Luke's New Favorite Commercial

As if he had an 'old' favorite, but this is what he aspires to:

The View From My Kitchen Window

With geraniums from the front porch.

PE with Luke

Luke was so excited to be able to start PE in January. He was a little under the age they set, but he was able and willing so they let him in. Basketball might not have been the easiest sport to start with, but he did pretty well.


Running with Leah in the warm up.

Not sure about how to guard the other kid.

Jack attempting a steal.

Part of the 'game' they played.

Dodgeball is next... a family favorite!

The Mighty, Mighty Wind

Topples the Trampoline.


And the tetherball.

I'm not even going to try...

to catch up. I'm just going to try to start posting more faithfully.

You're welcome, Mom. :)


And if you have a problem with that, you can speak to Luke's hand. :)
