Happy Halloween! Collin and I decorated my Mom’s squash… And here’s mine and Collin’s Jack-o-lantern (Thanks Christa!). Collin and I had very home-grown costumes. I was a colorful fairy, spring fairy, what have ya. Collin was obviously a ghost…obvious, right? My mom and I sewed up some old t-shirts of Chase’s to make this ghostly creation. [...]

How sadly pitiful! :( But he’s OK! To explain the title…Linnet, Collin, and I went to a special showing of Okkervil River and because we had Collin, we sat up in a sound booth where it wouldn’t damage his ears. There we were, sitting on chairs, with Collin on Linnet’s lap. He was having such [...]

I have this same picture with Chase standing there from way back in 2001! We went to Seattle for our honeymoon. If he looks scared, that’s because he is. He still really liked them though. They just made him a bit nervous. It was dark in there, the dinos were moving and making noises, and [...]

Lunch by the Sound. From September 14th – September 20th my Mom, Collin, and I were in Seattle visiting my sister Linnet. We drove and Collin did surprisingly well – long drive and all. We had a most wonderful trip of course! I love Seattle! And I love Linnet – thanks!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sweet Boy! For Collin’s birthday, I really wanted to make him a crown and a banner. Since I was staying at my mom’s for most of last week, I decided to take advantage of her sewing prowess and her very large stock of fabric. I drew the shape of the crown and picked out the [...]
