Love Poppa

Don't you love Grandma and Grandpa? The kind you can leave your kid with and know that they are going to have more fun than you could ever dream up? My dad is in town for a couple of weeks, and I have to tell you...after dreaming up the insanity of a garage sale (I don't recommend it), I'm wiped out! Poppa to the rescue! Zachary has had more fun with him in a few days than I think we've had together in months. He loves it when Poppa tickles his "bewwy", reads books to him, and wakes up early (5 a.m.) to start the day right. Hey Poppa, want a grandson for a couple of months? 5 a.m. is just way too early for this one!

For sure, we miss having Grandma around, it makes for a different kind of visit. But, the Grants Pass grandkids get to enjoy her one on one for a change.

Welcome to the 20th Century

Well, welcome to the 20th Century, Selfs! Join us in our new venture into all that technology has to offer. When we moved from Seattle to Chicago (in 2003), blogs were a fairly new phenomenon. And, we were busy with a new life, with no time for new tech (except the stuff that Adam works with, of course). So, here I am, enjoying the blogs of many of my friends, and I think, "I can do that, *I think*".

Here's hoping! Join us for the ride...
