For some months now I have had a running list in my head of things that are being taught to parents these days that I would/would not do/think regarding my child. Finally it has spilled into type. Realize that this is the condensed version; all of these have expanded thought and philosophy behind them, but these statements [...]

BIG tub bath
Posted in Silas on August 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Up till a short while ago I was still giving Silas baths in his infant tub seat. At the house in Pembine our tub stopper had broken off (NOT our fault) so I had no choice. Due to the fact that I am prone to exceptionally blonde moments, I did not know our tub here [...]
Bug for Mama II
Posted in Mama would have taken a picture... on August 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I happened to look up for some reason the other day, and was oh-so-pleasantly surprised!
There was a Stick bug crawling over our door! I so rarely see these, they are almost a bug-urban-legend. This may be only the second one I have ever seen in real life. I was dissapointed that Silas wasn’t old enough [...]
First Haircut
Posted in Silas on August 19, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Silas’s cute little curl eventually turned into twenty unruly curls. Time for a haircut! But how do you cut the hair of a person who hasn’t the foggiest notion of “sit still”? While he’s asleep, I decided.
He woke up earlier this morning and fell back asleep in my bed. (Shh… don’t tell the AAP he’s [...]
Reason 563 Not to Smoke

If the Surgeon General’s Warning wasn’t enough for me, my new appartment would surely have convinced me. Below are two of our drop-ceiling pannels. One crisp white with paint, the color all the pannels started out sometime in the past. The other is off-white, and in real life it was much yellower than the picture.
Our whole place [...]
Enric’s Job

An update on Enric’s job:
He has been working through ManPower for Ansul, a factory that makes fire extinguishers. He hired on in a position that most people really don’t like (hence, there were openings in that department.) On Thursday, though, his supervisor came up to a painter who was working near Enric and asked if [...]

Swimming
Posted in Silas on August 10, 2008 | 2 Comments »
We were living here on Left Foot Lake Road for a little while before some friends of ours asked us to go swimming with them at . . . Left Foot Lake. Turns out it’s about two minutes from here and has a little sand beach for swimming purposes. So Silas got to go swimming [...]
Overdue Camping Pictures
Posted in Family on August 3, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Finally I have 13 seconds to sit and put up some long-overdue pictures! (Maybe even more than 13…)
[Forever ago] We had a cook out . . . sort of. It started out with this lovely hike in the woods near Tweleve Foot Falls.
It was Silas’s first time being in the woods and close to trees [...]
