Since firelizards is now updated, I have started blogging over there, so I hope you will visit! You can see recent photos of the boys, and also one of me with my hair recently chopped off. I'll still be visiting LJ to read about what you're up to, but I'll be posting on firelizards.

Firelizards is updated already! Now I just need to figure out where the heck the camera went so that I can put up some more photos...

I've managed to get a little better in 2009 about posting photos on firelizards, but I haven't managed to do very well on LJ! Eric is currently working on a new iteration of firelizards, though, and if all goes well then I'll start posting there more often. Not sure when that's going live yet, though...

Check out my goofy children modeling their new t-shirts from my Uncle Don (he was in DC last week and came to visit us this weekend before flying back to Seattle.)

Miles is 2 today! It's hard to believe it's been two years already! There are a couple new pictures posted at firelizards. Yesterday we had a party for him, and it's just as well it was yesterday since we're having a weird day here today.

His ears are so full of ( Read more... )

• This conversation took place while I was mostly asleep at 2:30 AM:
  Quinn: The Monster Mash - it was a graveyard smash.
  Kristen: Yes, that's how the song goes.

So here's what has been keeping me busy this week....my first foray into sewing some type of clothing, in this case, a costume! Quinn's Halloween costume to be exact. Of course when I fessed up to my neophyte status at the fabric store, the salesperson was quick to tell me that a costume is not the easiest place to start! Fortunately, my mom ( ( Read more... )

Quinn had his first day of school yesterday, and it went about as smoothly as one could hope - well, I could have hoped for a nice goodbye hug or perhaps just a goodbye wave or maybe just a little teeny goodbye look.... no? Oh well. There's always tomorrow! :) As anticipated, Miles didn't want to leave in the afternoon when we went to pick ( Read more... )
