Pink....

I thought something was missing, I wonder if Teresa will notice? That's what she gets for leaving the blog editor screen open on the computer...

Thanks everyone for visiting.

Boots

Yes, I'm writing about boots, again. We are a family of boot-wearers, so it was only appropriate that Hannah get her first pair at less than two weeks old. Brent went shopping and just couldn't resist. Although, this is one pink purchase I thought was a definite necessity.
Lucas was excited to show them to her.


As you can tell, she was thrilled. :)
She has some room to grow into them, too.

Not to be left out, Daddy got Lucas a new pair, too.



This all started when Brent was actually shopping for new boots for himself. Three out of four people in our family got new boots. Tender-hearted Lucas was beside himself that Mommy didn't get new boots. He started to cry and told me he would go shopping with me so I could get new pink boots, too.


It's a date, Lucas. I look forward to it.

Snowmobiling

Uncle Brian came for a visit, except it wasn't by car or truck... it was by snowmobile. Lucas was excited to get a ride on it.


They didn't go very far, or very fast, but Lucas had fun. Thanks, Uncle Brian!

I'm published!

I've always enjoyed writing and even considered the journalism world as a career option. At some point many years ago I thought it would be neat to have something published. But what on earth would I have to say that would be worth publishing? Then this little blog came along... I don't think it would fit into any mainstream genre -- mystery, fantasy, western, romance, science fiction or humor... maybe just plain ol' non-fiction.




I published the first year of "A Perry Tale" into a book. Now we have a hard copy of every entry, every picture and every comment that visitors have left. I will treasure this book forever and hope our children, grandchildren and so on can enjoy the family stories.

Settling in at home

Daddy bought Hannah a very stylish outfit to come home in - brown and pink polka-dot pants and a pink cardigan. The onesie underneath said "I love Daddy." We picked up Lucas at Gramma & Papa's house and headed home to settle in.

Since then, there has been a lot of this:

and this:

and an occasional one of these:

*For the record, I nap way more than Brent, but the sleepless nights are being shared by both of us!
