Dairy Free Jen

By On 26 Jul ’07

Yep, I decided to go for it in attempt to help Lowell’s, um, poop be less, um, snot-like. Okay, now that the reason is out there, let me continue. It’s hard to not eat any dairy. Man. Dairy is in EVERYTHING but I’m reading ingredients faithfully and sticking to it so far. This is my [...]

One Eighth Japanese

By On 23 Jul ’07

Dave took this pic of James that I thought would be fun to photoshop and play with. I think it makes a darn good polaroid picture.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5?

By On 22 Jul ’07

Five months? It’s only been five months? Not more? Lowell has been so much work (read: motion — bouncing, rocking, walking, jiggling, wearing) that it seems like, well, like he should be at least a year old already!

At five months, he is waaay behind where James was in milestones. James was sitting [...]

So Handsome

By On 21 Jul ’07

James says, “So handsome!” every time he sees a picture of himself. It’s the most hilarious thing we’ve heard in awhile. This is the car we bought for his birthday using birthday money from Grandma and Grandpa Barnes. Thanks for the birthday car, Grandma and Grandpa!

Dave's Home

By On 20 Jul ’07

I would say, judging by this picture Mark took, that Dave enjoyed himself up in the ‘burbs of Seattle. It is good to have him home, though, if I do say so myself.

Dave brought back some amazing jerky from Stewart’s Market, Inc. in Pike Place Market. A-maz-ing, I tell you. [...]

David is flying home from Washington (state) tomorrow … James’ birthday is tomorrow … it will be a full day, though James will be in bed by the time David gets home and won’t get to see daddy on his birthday. It will be so nice to have David home again. He has been missed, [...]

Bad Monday

By On 16 Jul ’07

First day without David is already a bad one. Lowell is refusing to nap. I don’t know why he won’t stay asleep but his normal 3-4 hour afternoon nap has taught me to EXPECT some downtime. And I’m not getting it today. Not even 15 minutes. This is one of those “I could easily give [...]

Makeshift Swift

By On 14 Jul ’07

Ok, so it ain’t purty but it works.

After tangling the second hank to oblivion in trying to wind it into a neat little center-pull ball, I searched online for swifts. I found a great deal on Joann’s website with a 50% off code (just google Joanns coupons) but [...]

Summerfest 2007

By On 13 Jul ’07

Yay! I wasn’t pregnant and miserable this year! Summerfest 2005 was on James’ due date and, yes, we went and I sat in the 100º heat just to listen to the band (plus, my doctor was there and there’s no better place for a pregnant woman to be on her due date than the same [...]
