Anna’s Classes

Recently I signed Anna (and I) up for some classes at our local community center.  We’ve already had two good snow storms this year and without a park to go and play at, Anna and I are both going a little stir crazy.
On Wednesday mornings we have “Abrakadoodle” art class.  It’s 40 minutes long, which [...]

The Snowstorm and the Halloween Sheep

Last week, a few days before Halloween, we got our first real snowstorm of the season. It snowed for three days and piled up almost 3 feet of snow in our area. Fortunately, Mike was able to work from home and take breaks to go out and use the snow blower every few [...]

Anna and Her New Bear

Another Anna video post!
This past weekend we donated some coats to the “Coats for Colorado” drive and got a cute little bear wearing a sweater in return.  Last year’s Coats for Colorado bear was only briefly loved by Anna until Cash mauled it so much it became his – this year Anna is bigger and [...]

Anna dances to the Sesame Street Theme

I have some videos of Anna from recent months that I have not been able to upload until today.  The video files were in a format that just wouldn’t convert easily to the blog.  Mike fixed that today and so I’m going to post a few videos for everyone to see (at least those of [...]

Pumpkin Hunting

Two weeks ago (before this latest round of colds began), my sister and I decided to take the kids to a pumpkin farm out east in the farm country.  The farm’s website said they were family run and promised pumpkins, hay ride and an indoor hay bale maze.  Sounded like a blast to us!
It was [...]

Family Update

I’ve been neglecting the family updates, so hopefully I can catch up today! First, my apologies, I don’t have a lot of new pictures of Anna because my camera is broken.  Or rather, my camera has been dropped so many times that it seems to have affected the focus on the right side of picture.  [...]

This Week in Pictures

It’s been a busy week, and while I haven’t gotten pictures of it all, I do have some photos to share.
We went to Belleview Park twice in the past week. It’s pretty awesome; there’s a train, petting farm and a place to wade in a shallow stream.  Anna really liked the wading part:
Of course the [...]

Another Family Update – Anna’s Chapter

It’s time once again for a family update.  I haven’t done one of these in a while, but I like them because I can cram a lot of information about all of us in and then feel pretty satisfied with myself.
As usual, let’s start with the cutie:
Anna will be 16 months on Wednesday.  She’s buzzing [...]

Anna’s 15 Month Check-Up

Anna turned 15 months old last Sunday and we celebrated by taking her to the doctor on Tuesday.  I don’t think she appreciated the shots we gave her for 15 month birthday…
It was a struggle to get her to stay still long enough to weigh her, but the scale briefly flashed “17lbs 11oz.” so we [...]

A Girl and Her Sandbox

A few weeks ago I was talking to my dad and I said, “Anna loves to play in the dirt.”  Before I knew it my dad had drawn up plans for a sandbox for Anna that he and Mike could build.  So here we are the proud owners of a new sandbox…
Here’s a “Before” picture [...]
