Today mom and dad (Collister) went to Jacob Siemen’s first communion. So they only had their dress shoes when they left our house. Dad had black wingtips with black socks, paired with casual loose plaid dress shorts. Mom had jeans, dad’s “Mr. Roger’s sweater with black shiny platform heals, with a white bow. Which got … Read more
Annabelle’s First Birthday Party
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBgVo9ixdAA
Annabelle learned to say “NO” in a big way.
Please help Eva… long pause… thank you for the food (with Mommy’s help)… Amen
Annabelle can’t stop finding more reasons to scream. When the vacuum is turned on, when she wants someone’s attention, when she doesn’t get her way, and especially if she is trying to put something together (ex. Find a sippy cup and top to put together.)
Adeline: Why do the goo balls look like that?
Daddy: I am not sure sweetie
Adeline: Because that’s the way Jesus made them
Story: Adeline loves to play World of Goo on the iPad. We play together almost every night right before bedtime. For the most part she is just happy to watch me play, but she is very engaged in what is going on. On every level she likes to find the pipe and read what the sign painter has to say.

I proceeded to fall out four or five times resulting in a submerged iPhone and lost wedding ring. Eveytime … Read more

Do you want to see me dribble?
Annabelle’s top front right tooth is coming through. Making tooth number four. We are feeling the effects. (But she has been a great eater for months.)
The weather has finally cleared up for “Park Season” and Adeline couldn’t be more excited. She has no fear (which is both good and bad) and she loves to climb. If you take your eye off of her for a minute she will be at the top of something.
Annabelle walks around the house like a champ. She really prefers to be holding things.
You better come get me
We have been having a very difficult time getting Adeline to eat in a reasonable amount time. She takes forever to chew and she is constantly looking for distractions. She tries to take a long potty break after a few bites. The whole process becomes very time consuming and is far from relaxing. Enter brilliant … Read more
