Bored Mommy plus markers plus little boy equals...

Stop! You must NOT hop on Pop!

Cake -- I has it

Thanksgiving included a chocolate cake this year.  It was well received.

Hallowe'en 2008

Mom put in a huge amount of effort for this year's Hallowe'en costumes.  We continue the theme of super heros, and the idea here was to set the cosumes up so that when we went to Hazeldean, there would be a theme as Nathan chased his brother around.

So, Alex is The Joker:

...and Nathan becomes Batman:

Unfortunately both boys were getting over recent sickness and were not up to running around the mall as in past years.

One thing which was surprising was the enthusiasm Alex had for people coming to the door.  He enjoyed having the door open, and seemed delighted that people were coming up to him.  He wasn't so much for handing out candy to the visitors, but he seemed really into the whole thing.

Nathan's first hair cut

Jenn gave Nathan his first hair cut at the beginning of September.  No more crazy-haired mad-scientist look -- it is amazing how the change in the hair makes him look more and more like a real little boy.

First Post

Welcome to the new blog.

The purpose of this weblog will be to post family pictures and news and such for people who don't want to dig through the noise at my other sites to find.

Unfortunately the software running the old 'blog was old enough to be hacked; I discovered one day that at least one of my articles had been infested with links to nasty porn pages.  None of my readers would have been able to see them, the links were clearly put in to increase search engine rankings for the listed pages.  But it still means that I can't trust the software, and since I don't have time to keep it up to date, it has to come down.

First real post will be coming soon.
