Fifteen months have come and gone since our precious little ones were born. Here are a few of the current highlights: 35 pounds (Carolyn 17-3; Elizabeth 16-13) Our family’s recent cave swimming excursion reminded of another time I visited that same area… Oh, I’ve been there lots of times over the years whenever I’d visit the Talbot’s cabin during the summer months. Twenty years ago, I don’t think there wasn’t even a real trail that led down there — we’d just hoof [...] Last week we joined my parents and my sister and her family for our annual Family Vacation. Over the past several years we’ve spent wonderful weeks in places like Bend, Lake Tahoe, Lake Almanor, etc. (My first geocache was found with my Dad’s GPS while on a family vacation in Idaho!) This year I wanted [...] It has been a while since we posted a few pictures of the girls, so here are a few of my favorites from the last month or two. And here’s a quick update… Elizabeth is tentatively walking 10 to 12 steps at a time, and is getting more and more confident every day. It’s clear [...] Grandma on her front porch – 7/2007 My paternal grandmother, Doris Upton, passed away on Friday. She lived in Carmi, Illinois so I didn’t get to see her much when I was growing up. I remember many years where we used Dad’s two weeks vacation for a summer road trip to visit family. We would [...] Last weekend we took the girls on their first overnight trip away from home. It was an all out adventure as we loaded up, got on an airplane, and headed to Southern Illinois for a week. My Dad was born and raised in Carmi and each year over the 4th of July weekend aunts, uncles, [...] Fifteen years ago, Janet and I made vows to each other that were both solemn and joyous. We wrote these vows ourselves — or rather, we cobbled together elements we liked from several samples we looked at. We also memorized them, so that during the ceremony we could just speak them directly to each other [...] In January I was invited to be part of my church’s production of Twelve Angry Men. We have a drama ministry known as The King’s Players, and over the last 20+ years we’ve done dozens of productions, including Ben Hur, Steel Magnolias, and It’s A Wonderful Life. In recent years I’ve had small parts in [...] Believe it or not, our precious baby girls are now one year old! It has certainly been quite an amazing year. Carolyn and Elizabeth bring such joy and delight into our lives. Their pediatrician appointment isn’t scheduled until next week, but my best guess says they are now somewhere around quadruple their birth weight. And [...] Now that the girls are able to pull themselves up to a standing position, there’s SO much more to distract them from sleeping in their cribs! We are blessed with two generally happy and playful little girls. Unfortunately, this means they probably aren’t getting as much sleep as they really need right now. Naptime Fail |
