Christmas Day 2008 – In Salem video

Chritmas 2008 was in Salem and saw the introduction of the Rocking Cow.  Ashley was not impressed with the whole ordeal, but she wasn’t particularly upset with it either.  It was a real take it or leave it day, but her cousins had a ton of fun. I know this video is about a year late.  I know I know I know.

Christmas 2009 – the aftermath

Mom and Ashley weren’t able to fully clean up the holiday mess after we got back from Athena.  So we took our last Sunday in the long weekend and put all the decorations and tree away.  We put away all of the new toys, cleaned the cupboards, organized the pantry, picked up everybody’s rooms and did several loads a laundry.  Go Mom Go.  Go! Go! Go! For his part, Dad took Ashley on a red wagon ride around to the park and rode swings.  Christmas was great, but I think we are all glad to be home. ...

Christmas 2009

Ashley and the gang traveled to Athena this year for Christmas.  We left Thursday the 24th packed to the gills with presents and a happy baby.  We arrived to a house full of people in Athena and had a rocking couple of dinners, breakfasts and more snacks than a pelican could fit in it’s beak.  Ashley learned some new life skills with cooking in the kitchen with Grandma and reloading shells with Grandpa.  The uncles showed Ashley how to ride a skateboard and Aunt Tylee taught Ashley the fine art of light saber fighting. We caught a...

Christmas 2008 - going into it video

Christmas 2008 was Ashley’s first and we tried to start a family tradition.  The plan was to have Christmas Eve at home, travel to Salem and spend Christmas day with the family.  Well, Snowpacolypse got in the way.  The snow came down hard and heavy for many days.  Instead of having a nice evening in front of a fire, we had to bust open the presents at the drop of a dime at 2:30 in the afternoon.  The news said it would be warming up and raining, and we didn’t wait around. We celebrated with Ashley and still got...

Christmas 2009 – the lead in

Christmas 2009 is a very promising one.  Mom is in full swing and very excited with decorating and gift giving.  Dad is very happy because mom has agreed to tone it down a bit from last year and stick to a budget.  Ashley is excited because this the first year she recognizes gifts for what they are. Rock hard awesome. Aunt Stacy brought over a gift for Ashley in an early season gathering and it was amazing to watch Ashley dutifully and slowly unwrap the present because Mom asked her to.  The first few tears were done out...

Bowling for babies

Ashley is a better bowler than either of us.  She was charming at the lanes and basically a good sport.  Part of being a good bowler in Ashley’s world is charming the glitter off of the nice ladies in the lane next to us and the nice server lady.  Everybody was impressed. Ashley scored a legitimate 30 (without weak bumper usage) in her 4 frames.

Squash, with a side of melodrama

IT was one of those normal nights, but Ashley decided to unleash a storm of heck.  Mary found it less than easy to deliver a nutritious dinner.  Eat it or wear it indeed. View more by clicking the link Wrestling With The Family ...

Ms Kitty

This is Mary's cat Ms Kitty. She is a filthy hairball who is the sort of reason people don't have cats. But she is friendly for being a one-eyed jerkface Ms Kitty

Fighting the good fight

http://www.dansdata.com/ Here is a great story from a great story teller.  Dan's Data is a wonderful site with realistic advice, common sense opinions and is my favorite place to read about debunking pop-science scams. Dan has a blog here as well.  It seems that some people feel contrary opinions need to be lawyered into compliance (based on non existent laws) but Dan doesn't want to play.  Read about it here.  I think Dan himself would be first person to suggest you make up your own mind.  Read the site he is disagreeing with as well.  Information is power. However I have made up my mind,...
