Lust for Life- a 2007 Retrospective in Video

Please pardon the non-2-year-old-lyrics of this song. It's Evvie's favorite. She calls it the "Drum Song" and requests that we play it nearly every day. (She actually prefers Iggy Pop, but this version is a close second).

She's very proud of this video, so please enjoy!

Evelyn, The Red Fingers, and the Camera-Shy Hound

Christmas is over....

Here's Grandma Sue, mama and Cindy Lou Who...er, I mean Evelyn Mae all playing with her Mrs. Potato Head toy that she got for Christmas from daycare.


Eventually, she opened an elegant easel. As an artist, Evelyn works in tempera paints, chalk, crayon, and stickers.

She a postmodernist.


The holidays were a whirlwind of fun with our first-ever visit from Santa to our home in Bath. After that it was off to Saranac Lake for the post-holiday holidays!

Merry Christmas!

Trimming the Tree

Girls! Girls! Girls!

Saturday We had out first of three Christmas gatherings for the season! The girl cousins got to play together while Baby Reed slept gently. It was a big festive group at the Prince residence of Turner.

The day was capped off with Ruby Dog eating the remains (8+ pounds) of pulled pork from the porch. I had the honors of dispensing Hydrogen Peroxide and presiding over the regurgitation. Now that's the holidays for you!

Evvie's Techno-Rave Xmas

By Air or By Sea

Goofing around at home, Evvie has branched out from being a "land only" terrain walker. She's been enjoying the lead-up to Christmas, and we're counting down until the big day!

The Stormtrooper

Thanks Carol!

Evvie likes to sit in this seat and be spun around and around and around. She also pretends its a boat and catches fish to eat while drifting among the waves. It's a pretty slick rig.

Snow Day!

Today Evelyn and I got some much-need one-on-one time thanks to Mother Nature and the huge early storm! School was canceled, so we stayed home and played in the snow.

It was really fun to see Evvie enjoy the fluffy stuff as a two-year-old. She wasn't a confident enough walker last year to play, but this year is a different story, indeed! She enjoyed tasting it...



and offering it to Ruby...


We went sledding on our modest hill, until I got exhausted. Evvie pulled me back inside to recuperate after all of the fun!
