We’ve been taking photos faster than I can post! I’ve been taking a seminary class from The Christian Counseling and Education Foundation (CCEF). If you haven’t heard of it, you may know David Powlison, Paul David Tripp, or Ed Welch, who are part of CCEF. This class is time well spent, but it means I’m [...]
Read more →College friend Karis and her mom, Alice visited Anna and me. They even helped me take all of our belongings to the lobby to wait for my mom: On our way to my Aunt Lynn and Uncle Mike’s house, we passed the house that used to belong to my maternal grandmother, from whom Anna gets [...]
Read more →Awwww, yeah. Thanks to Christina over at Keddiebears for this hilarious Photoshop job. She is our winner! Anna drove all the way to DC! (Technically, Grandma drove, and I sat in the back trying to keep Anna entertained, asleep, or otherwise not screaming.) John had a geek conference for people who make websites at the [...]
Read more →(Kudos to Randa Clay for the “Bluebird” theme.) Okay, people who know how to make crazy things happen in Photoshop: your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make Anna look out of the rolled-down window of a convertible. Because that would be awesome. If you do it well, you’ll win, um, the [...]
Read more →Damara and Jason came to see us on their Baby Tour 2010: We went to GramE’s with Aunts Peggy and Betsy, and Uncles Glenn, Chip, and Frank. Anna was in an evening fussy period, and I took few pictures, but we did laugh as GramE calmed her by spinning the chandelier. Ooooh, shiny. Anna bought [...]
Read more →Anna went on her second out-of-state trip since she was born, this time hitting Delaware as well as Pennsylvania, where she had already visited Grandma and Grandpa. John and I were kicking ourselves for RSVPing yes to this wedding with Anna so young. On the whole, she did spectacularly well. She slept a good chunk [...]
Read more →Our Bible Study’s summer barbeque: Fun with Genna, Abby, and Noah: Anna has discovered that if she stomps her feet in her bouncy seat, the mobile swings. She’ll do this for twenty minutes at a time, happy as a clam. We’re trying to get her to discover her hands as well as her feet, so [...]
Read more →In the past few weeks, Anna spent an entire week without Gram E and another (thankfully different) week without Grandma and Grandpa! Somehow, she survived (and so did we). She also met Great Gram (John’s maternal grandmother), met Carine, and has made successful trips to church twice. She took her first out-of-state trip to Grandma [...]
Read more →Matthew and Genna, friends of ours from church, invited us over for dinner. I was a little wary that Anna would make the evening very difficult, but our hosts live so close that we may have walked if it didn’t involve crossing a major road, plus they have two young children and therefore remember what [...]
Read more →Some short videos, with the philosophy that just about anyone can make an interesting 30 second video (hopefully myself included). Anna meets Mary and Emily, takes a bath (just one modest photo here), holds her torso up, and enjoys Daddy time. These photos are added to an existing gallery, Anna’s Summer. Anna has also now [...]
