Directorial Debut

Abigail makes her directorial debut! Yeah. I realize there’s subtleties here only a parent can appreciate, but I figured the Grandparents would get it too. Hint. Turn the volume waaaay up so you can hear all the concentration that went into “the shoot” – b

That’s It?

Spent two hours getting the studs scabbed back into place. And that’s about all I got done today. Not sure what happened. Maybe it was the hour I lost trying to jump start the Prius. FYI. That’s a royal pain in the ass. Maybe it was the hour and a half I spent returning and […]

Basement Work

Trying to get things back to some semblance of normal. I first cut out the Silverfish infested rotten wood. It was pretty nasty – like a resort for the little buggers.

Potty Training

Has begun. We’re doing some aggressive learn – in – a – few – days thing. So far I’m skeptical. Not that she won’t get it, but that she won’t get it all in just 3 days. We’ve had some successes and some things we still need to work out. Eh. It also means she’s […]

Trip to the Farm

We finally made it out to Springton Manor Farm to see the animals. Doesn’t she looked dressed for the farm? It didn’t take long to find some goats. Then of course we had to feed them. We also found a farm cat. And some cows. Which I think is the sound she’s trying to imitate […]
