Leave sooner, drive slower, live longer
Saturday, March 6th, 2010I gave Kory his first driving lesson today. Chip tagged along, even though there really aren’t supposed to be other people in the car, because we needed a pylon.
Just kidding. But, wow, that is one orange shirt.
Anyway, the day was perfect for the maiden voyage of the as-yet-unnamed Subaru. The sun was [...]
Digital Insanity
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Do you remember when you had to wait for hours, even days, before you could see the results of your photographic efforts? As someone who used to work with film, and with photographers, I can tell you that, on average, a very good photographer can get two to seven good shots for every twenty-four frame [...]
Primates and Progeny
Saturday, August 15th, 2009So, Kory turned fifteen, and I didn’t post anything about it because I’m still coping. I have no idea why fifteen is such a big deal to me, but I am just amazed at how quickly he is growing up and I’ve been downright despondent about this birthday.
To celebrate, we met the Koch family [...]
Ode to the ‘Fro
Sunday, July 26th, 2009I don’t think I spend enough time blogging about Kory’s hair. Its color, its texture, its SHEER VOLUME. And I did promise to post fabulous photos this summer.
This is how the ‘fro looks on an average day. Kind of frizzy, a little out of control, and rarely symmetrical. You would think that’d drive an OCD-affected [...]
Beast
Monday, May 25th, 2009I promised to post this photo forever ago, and here it finally is! I hope to never see this look on my son’s face other than on a roller coaster.
Changes
Saturday, May 16th, 2009I’ve been lax about posting photos lately because the upload process, frankly, sucks. Unless I work from Chip’s house, the pics only halfway load and the process takes forfreakingever. Therefore, these photos are a little old, but still worth posting.
Chip and Kory ran the Sugar Maple 5k … Chip went on to run the mini, [...]
Fill In the Gaps
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009I’m ripping off a project that another blogger ripped off of another blogger who ripped it off of someone else. Or something like that. I found it here, and I’ve been intrigued with it ever since.
As an English major, I am utterly annoyed when someone quotes or mentions some great piece of literature [...]
Because You All Want to Hear About My Weekend …
Monday, March 16th, 2009I had a very nice weekend in Louisville, where I got to have a girls’ night, host a baby shower, and see my beautiful niecii. There are three now, in case you weren’t keeping track.
I don’t have photos of girls’ night, but I had a wonderful time hanging out with Laura, Melanie, [...]
Home, Sweet Home
Friday, February 13th, 2009Here are a few pics of the new place. I’d love to write something pithy or creative, but this quarter is kicking my ass in a way that I thought it would not. I expected to coast through, but I neglected to account for 19th century British authors. They are some seriously verbose people.
At any [...]
So my Mom will feel better …
Monday, December 29th, 2008Christmas was all sorts of fun, and the best gift I received was the opportunity to hold my beautiful new niece Emmy (aka Emily) for as long as I wanted. It was very rewarding, although I have to admit that watching Vicki hold her tiny daughter was even more joyous. My sister and her partner [...]
