Sorry I haven’t blogged in eons, not for lack of stuff to post … but I can’t blog at home (too many little fingers poking at the keyboard — and if the little fingers are sleeping probably so am I!) and I can’t blog at work (too crazy busy to even do WORK, much less [...]
Paige’s first Thanksgiving.
Photos from Thanksgiving are posted on Smugmug. We had a good time with Tad’s family in El Cajon. Kids were on relatively good behavior considering the lack of a nap. Most notably, Paige turned 5 months old on Thanksgiving so we decided to give her her first solid [...]
Fireman Lane! Click here for more pics.
I haven’t blogged in forever because it’s nearly impossible to do so. Work is crazy busy and I’m barely able to put in 40 hours, so I certainly can’t blog while I’m at work. It’s impossible to do it with Lane around, because as soon as he [...]
We’ve uploaded photos from Halloween as well as a bunch of pictures from this Fall, including pics of Paige’s first flight to go to San Francisco to watch Elisabeth’s first marathon.
Finally! A posting about Lane’s birthday celebration(s) – only a month late. I was waiting until I’d had a chance to post the photos, which I finally did. Here you can find photos of the grand event(s), plus other pics from the month of August.
We basically followed the same routine as last [...]
I’ve cobbled together a wish list for Lane’s 2nd birthday. If I think of anything to add I’ll update the list and do a quick blog posting.
Lane’s second and Paige’s first 4th of July was lots of fun. After Tad made us breakfast, we road-tested our new, bright green, Phil & Ted’s double stroller with a walk to Standley Park. (Lane was indifferent, but Paige was not a fan of the stroller. Hopefully she’ll get more comfortable with [...]
Christmas pics are now posted on Phanfare. I know I never got around to doing a Christmas posting … As you can see from the pics, Lane had a great time although is still a bit young to get the idea. He really liked undecorating Christmas trees.
As you may have figured out from this post, I never quite got around to sending out Christmas cards this year. I got as far as selecting the above photo (well, Tad picked it out), uploading it to Snapfish, and cleaning up my address book. But I didn’t like any of the card [...]
Talk about a hectic Christmas. Note to self: don’t take a vacation for a week at the beginning of December, and then go away for a weekend in the middle of December. Especially while (big news) pregnant. Especially while work is crazy. It made for quite an exhausting holiday season. [...]
This Thanksgiving we spent at Jack & Caroline’s beach house up in Oceanside (pictures). It may not have been Lane’s first Thanksgiving, but it was the first one where he got to partake in the feast, and he took to it with plenty of gusto. But more exciting than the good eats were [...]
Some new pictures of Lane, including his Halloween costume, are up on Phanfare.
Traveling with Lane at 4 months old had its ups & downs. Here are my lessons learned, the challenges I had, and a review of the stuff I brought with me. Overall I think it went pretty smoothly.
Last night we got back from spending Christmas in Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. This post will be the trip report. Later I will do a baby-focused post on lessons learned from traveling with Lane.
Sunday afternoon we bundled gifts and blankets and diapers into the car and headed out to El Cajon for Lane’s first ever Christmas celebration. Every year we alternate Lawson family gatherings with Gallistel family gatherings, and even years are with the Lawsons. This year the Lawson family has decided to skip the cold [...]
