With the coveted green rock in the center, Balboa’s pioneer trek hat lacked only one thing - Stampede strings. You know, those leather straps that extend down through the hat and below the jaw to keep the wind from blowing it off (most of the time). Not an easy modification, but a necessary one.
Who knows, [...]

Elisabeth Ella Anderson, Her Debut In Utero
Thursday, December 31, 2009
Don’t ask me how or why babey Abey butted in front of baby Bess, I’m just grateful that she is confirmed for arrival sometime in the middle of May. Here’s a quick preview:
Raising the Roof
Friday, September 11, 2009
I spent five hours on the north beam - aka “The Wall” last Saturday. Dren was on the south beam - aka “The Other Wall.” Me, the beam, thin air, 25+ ft up, setting the trusses as they swung, shook, squeaked, shifted and leaned. Dren kept saying, “That East Gable really screwed things up.”
When [...]
Mea and Bear
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
I was browsing through the photo updates from pop-in-law and this one just jumped out at me. I was surprised to notice how closely they resemble each other. They both have the same sweet cheek bones and possibly the same nose. Who thinks that Darlene looks young enough to be Sarah’s mom? I do. My [...]

My Kids Cheer For These Flags

Again, genetics. German 12.5%, Albanian 12.5%, Scottish 6.25%.
Netherlands, because I was born and lived my [...]
The Girls
Sunday, July 13, 2008
Today Dad asked, “want to see my girls?” I pryed, “the blondes with a flair for the stage?” He said, “Yep.” I said, “sure!” Now you can enjoy them too… (click the thumbnails photos to enlarge).
They have leading roles (pun intented) in Les Miserables being performed at the Taucahn Amphitheater. To experience Les Miserables in an incomparable setting (something other than a [...]
“Must be having Circumcision Nightmares” and other quotables
Sunday, June 29, 2008
Sometimes he wakes with a jolt and a scream (see above). He didn’t awaken like this before the circumcision.
Kym says she hears the Jaws theme song as he approaches to latch on. Her toes curl when he does. Looks painful.
With the baby’s head emerging, Dr. Cannon coaxes him out with the words “Come toward [...]
