Ok! So here is my first shot at making a taggies ball. The template I think was maybe a little wide, since it is not totally round, but turned out rather pumpkin-shaped. Maybe I didn’t stuff it full enough, but LeAnna’s looks about the same, so maybe it is the template.
Silas does indeed like the [...]

Laughing with Daddy
Posted in Family, Silas on June 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
On Father’s Day last Sunday, I was thinking I should take a Father-Son picture of Enric and Silas, but the day ended up busy, and nothing particularly photogenic happened anyway.
Today, though, we got our moment: Enric and Silas lying on the couch making faces and funny noises at each other and laughing hysterically! Silas had [...]
Peas make a good mess
Posted in Silas on June 19, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Continuing on in our journey into solids, I decided to add peas next. A cute little green veggie, it’s my favorite, so I have a zillion of them in my freezer. I have seen packaged baby food peas- ick! So I blended my own, with a little milk. They turned out VERY green, perfect for [...]
Starting Solids
Posted in Silas on June 17, 2008 | 3 Comments »
A few weeks ago, (after getting bit for the third time- ouch!!) I decided it was time to get Silas going on solid food. First step: get out the booster chair and spoons and explore.
He really liked sitting up in his seat- especially after it was up on the chair and he was on our [...]
The Imitation of Christ

A while back Petra (Mama Lopez’s friend from Holland) sent us a copy of The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas a Kempis. I had heard of this book along the way somewhere, and it had always sounded like a rather difficult, deep, theological tome. Actually though, it’s not a very long book at all, with [...]
Help for Gas Prices

We are listening to Sean Hannity right now, who is talking with Newt Gingrich about oil prices etc. Especially frustrating is hearing about the oil we have in the States that Congress has legislated against us using. They say there is more oil in the Rocky Mountains than in Saudi Arabia! Not to mention the [...]
Rolling and Pulling Up
Posted in Silas on June 10, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Silas has reached a few quasi-milestones today:
This morning he woke up fussing, and I saw it was because he had rolled over in his sleep, but since he was still swaddled he couldn’t roll back. I don’t know how he rolled onto his tummy while swaddled in the first place… Lately he has been wanting [...]
Life without Books
Posted in Silas on June 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Since we are planning on moving sometime this summer, I have been packing up whatever we don’t immediately need. One of the largest of these categories was our bookshelf.
But it has been SO SAD without the books! I keep trying to reference something and reach and there’s NOTHING THERE. Different Bible things, or Comparative Religions, [...]
Eight Months Old

Silas is eight months old today!
He was so wiggly I couldn’t get a picture without something being blurry! To me it adds to the chronicle though, demonstrating his getting more active as he grows.
Once again, a problem with blurriness. I really wanted to get a picture of those teeth! The second lower came in early [...]
Grandma Griffiths’s Birthday
Posted in Family on June 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Today is my grandma’s One hundred first birthday!
I remembered I had a few pictures of her from a LONG time ago that I could share.
She looks maybe one-and-a-half or two in this picture. I don’t know if we know for sure when it was taken, but it’s fascinating to think that this picture is 100 [...]
