During this time, Evelyn, Earl, and I took the kids to the portrait studio to get some pictures done. I haven’t done pictures at the [...]

I forgot to mention a month or so ago that the following photo was chosen to represent the Seattle Aquarium on Schmap.com, a travel site.

Yes, well, we haven’t ummmm, blogged in a long while. Sorry about that. We will try and do better. I know there are many, many drafts of blogs almost ready to go up…

Anyhoo, Keegan is now 14 months old! His first made-up word is “Ga-bay”. I don’t know what it means. Zoey had her first [...]

Keegan’s new word is “Hi”. He will peek over at you and say “hi”. It is the cutest thing! He also can eat. Yesterday he ate a whole sweet potato in two sittings. He has eaten a whole banana in one sitting. That’s our boy!

Look at those teeth!

Yeah! Keegan won.

Today we’ve had rain, sleet, hail (okay, I don’t really know the different between those two), sun, lightning, and snow. At one point we had sunshine and snowfall at the same time. Currently it’s just snowing, and has built up about an inch. Outside right now it looks like this:
