a husband's remarkable gift to his wife

This is Dolphin's Xmas gift to Amy: a 3D sculpture print. Too awesome for me to even wrap my 20th century mind around.

Noooo...not the Whoppers!

At the end of the night, I always leave the rest of the Halloween candy in a bowl outside my door for stray ghouls to help themselves to. It's always gone by morning. This time they left only the Whoppers...my favorite candy! Bad ghouls...they could've left the Almond Joys so I wouldn't eat 'em...

Halloween Carly

Redheads 1997

Just found one of my very favorite-est photos.

boo hoo

...and my Boo! jack-o-lantern is gone!...Elmer (our neighborhood squirrel) ate its face off. Guess I'll have to keep my new carvings inside.

Boo!

The battery operated candles Amy gave me work really well for safe illumination.

Xander in the Bounce House

XANDER LOVES STRAWBERRIES!

From Austin to Denver.

At Xander's daycare

Me & my boys at Xander's daycare.

Pretzel

This is Pretzel. I got him at the DFL for my Mom after we had to put her 20-year-old dog to sleep last month. As near as we can tell, Pretzel was born on or around the same day as Xander!

Snow-Glow Mountains

This photo does not do the scene justice, but I just had to take a picture on my way to work yesterday...the mountains were positively glowing from an overnight snow.

Mother's Day 2010

Somebody sent me this gorgeous plant...but there was no card! Someone 'fess up!

Weench & Fat Cat

 

Jensen Ackles - Eye of the Tiger

Damn...I love this!!!

target practice...2nd attempt

Yay! I figured out how to post a video (with Amy's help!!!)

Target practice

Jonah bought a water shooter at the dollar store & his sassy sister offered to be a moving target for him!

(damn....this is supposed to be a video....I'll have to try to figure out the correct process later...)

Xander loves Gamma!

I just talked to Xander on the phone...he said, "Hi, Gamma!" I am in heaven.

Valentine's Day

Jonah & Mary with their heart balloons...& our Dolphins & Hearts toast we had for breakfast!

Dolphins & Hearts

Dolphin sent me a bread-cutter that turns toast into Dolphins & Hearts...Jonah & Mary helped make them!

Cap'n Jonah

My very favorite shots of Jonah...at a pirate skating party in 2008. He was so fearless in his tiny skates...& such a ham when I asked him to pose as a pirate.
