Just one. I have to get in the habit of writing these down when he says them. Yes, this would be James.
Daddy, when you’re eating rock candy and you rinse it off, it taste-es more dandier.
They all got buzz cuts [...]
I’ll post birthday pictures tomorrow, but here is a snapshot of him from earlier today. We were doing some test shots for tonight and this one came out so well, I’m calling it a keeper.
… and some of his brothers …
I’ll post tree pictures later … and stick to some stills of the boys for now. I’m sure James will remember this for years to come.

Lowell finds one more his size.

I got the question yesterday, “So, what do the boys want for Christmas?”
It’s not a matter of what they want. They want it all. They’re human – selfish greedy sinful humans. It is a matter of what David and I think they would benefit from having and would enjoy. So with that thought, here [...]
Korben’s not in these due to a bloody lip, but the pre-bloody lip pics are over here.
That’s our van in the top pic. We bought it a year ago and paid it off in March. God is so good.
The first thing James asked for upon receiving his surprise package from Grandma in the mail this afternoon were some “jumping ramps.” I looked around and found some cereal boxes in the trash and quickly re-purposed them into new ramps for his car. Lowell likes the idea but hasn’t mastered the pull-back-and-let-go maneuver to get [...]
I have our meals planned through May 2nd, finally. I think the first Sunday of each month is unofficially my menu-planning day. Eventually, this will turn into once a month cooking but right now we simply do not have the freezer space for it. I made lasagna [...]
I was already *almost* doing a sort-of project 365 already, just without the purpose and organization of actually calling it a project. There are lots of different ways of doing a picture-a-day project. I’ve settled on making Korben the focus for my “official” project 365 (I didn’t start on Jan 1). I’m finding [...]
We watched. I was nursing Korben but I managed to snap a picture of our morning one-handed somehow. This may, eventually, become an important picture, or an important memory for the boys, so I thought I would post it here. As always, click to enlarge.
Lowell wants so badly to be a 3 year old. We have ruined dinnertime now by letting him have snacks and some play-doh time in the big people chairs; he is refusing all forms of high chairs these days. Grandma Barnes treated the boys to some play-doh and they had [...]
James, as we’re driving away from the birthing center (that’s the front door to it you can see from his window). I would like to note that every time I buckle him in, I put the oval shaped thingy even with his armpits and he wiggles it down to his belly as soon as I [...]
I hope today isn’t a loooong day… been up since James came into our room at 4:45 – “I need you to put my underwears back on. I went potty.”
He’s been getting himself out of bed (he sleeps in a loft bed so it means climbing down a ladder) to go potty for [...]
WELCOME
