Happy New Year: Possibilities & Resolutions for 2008
First, a quick review. Every year since 2004, Jill and I have declared a possibility for the year. That sets the context, we hope, for plans and resolutions during the year. Last year, we declared 2007 the year of vitality, discovery, and fun.
I think we did an ok job this year, especially since until the […]

Rain
You may have heard that Georgia is in some scary record-setting drought. So I am happy to report that this holiday season has involved a lot of rain.
Noah likes it.
He got to meet a worm! And splash in puddles! And admire the neighbor’s flowers. And JUMP!

Our Christmas, in a Nutshell
All the choo-choo excitement was almost too much for Noah.
Aunt Anna’s choo-choo blanket and choo-choo house were wild hits, as were Grandma and Grandpa’s “NOAH” cars and the “bridge!” & other new choo-choos from the other Grandma and Grandpa.
That choo-choo playhouse? Seriously large enough that I’m afraid we may have to declare it as a […]

Noah Says Merry Christmas
As long as you aren’t some scary guy with a white beard. This was our second picture, in the third round of trying to get Noah’s picture taken with Santa.
You can’t really tell from the picture, but his right arm is all the way around my neck. Seriously, no on the Santa.
