OMG, Only Four Teeth Left

By On 14 Oct ’06

Our internet/phone was out for a whole day, so I’m just getting around to catching up…

James’ 16th tooth came in on Wednesday or Thursday. All he has left now are the 2-year molars. I must say that having 16 teeth and only being 14 months old is quick for those chompers to come in. [...]

James’ Baylor tee shirt was embarrasingly small, so the UT shirt it was. This pic is for Grandpa Barnes.

The Belly Shot Effect.

By On 14 Oct ’06

21 weeks along tomorrow.  I am sure you do not want to hear some of my experiences with this pregnancy following so closely behind the last pregnancy.  Lets just say that the ole bod just ain’t what it used to be.

Living Within Our Means

By On 11 Oct ’06

David and I talked it over and after some prayer we decided that getting the work done where my parents live would be a good way to solve the lack of a rental car (our insurance took that part out of our policy to keep the monthly premium down) and getting our car worked on [...]

Flickr Map, the Other White Meat.

By On 9 Oct ’06

So, upon loading my pics from this morning onto flickr, I notice a simple, innocent looking link. Map. Huh. So I follow the link and end up spending every free moment the rest of the day mapping pictures. Take our wedding for example. Ever wonder where we got married? Now you know. Or? Or [...]

Today we visited the Elgin Christmas Tree Farm. I guess by the name you wouldn’t expect to find many pumpkins, and there weren’t many pumpkins, but we were going for a pumpkin patch meetup. It was okay. I can’t say I was blown [...]

New Tires – It Does a Body Good.

By On 8 Oct ’06

I hate typing these quick “update” type posts, but I’m not much of a storyteller so I’ll just relay what I know (especially since I know Dave’s folks are reading this and probably wondering what’s up with our car)…

We took it to NTB yesterday and had a new set of tires put on [...]

GrumpyLizard, uploaded by davejenbarnes

We have a few resident lizards living amongst the gobs of geraniums on our front porch. David loves lizards, so he grabbed the rebel and the speedlite and snuck outside one night to photograph one of them. I think he caught this one at a bad time.

car stuff… life around here…

By On 2 Oct ’06

Our blue car is, um, broken again. Same symptoms (we think) as before, too, only this time we don’t have the warranty to cover anything. David is calling service places around town to see if any of them can do a one-day estimate for bearing and steering column costs and see if that’s the [...]
