More Camping Photos

Our wee precious tent.Heather and Eric's clearly preferable, hulking enormity of a tent.

D, dad's feet and mom.

Breakfast.

Early morning deer sighting.

Climb Every Mountain

Desmond learned how to climb stairs. This is his story.


Dad sounds like a total goof in this one.


Even new skills can be derailed by well-placed banisters.

Back to Business

So last time I said I would post 10 times in a row, and I think I only made it to 8. I'll try to do better this time. My goal is to be caught up in about 2 weeks... will it happen? Anyone care to place a bet?

Here are some photos of Desmond, Ron and me in our "backyard," which is really just a dirt parking lot with some pretty ivy on the walls. They were taken on July 4th, when D was about 9 months old. The last photo is all of us in the car, though you can't really see D 'cause he's in his carseat. Still, cute photos of mommy and daddy are a rarity these days, so I've included it.

Dad's Birthday

Yesterday was Ron's birthday. Desmond and I baked him his favorite cake - chocolate raspberry. Happy birthday daddy!
