Hattie growed up

July 21, 2008 – 7:15 pm

Nearly every morning lately I’ve been making inside-out french toast for Winfield. He affectionately calls it, “inside French toad.” Also, nearly every morning, he insists that Harriet wants some too. He does like to share his experiences with her. Since babies aren’t supposed to have egg whites I’d been telling him that she is too little to have inside French toad.

At her last check up the doc told us that she’s allowed eggs now so I thought that a little inside French toad would be a good introduction. The first morning that I gave her some Win triumphantly yelled, “Hattie growed up. She’s eatin’ inside French toad.”

Here she is this morning nibbling on little squares.

A hot week

July 19, 2008 – 8:18 pm

It’s been decently hot in Holland the past week.  Win Harriet and I really enjoyed hanging out by the pool earlier this week.

Right before taking this picture I removed about 7 petunia petals from Hattie’s mouth.  She really likes to eat grassy, naturey things.

Standing

June 27, 2008 – 8:56 am

We were hanging out in our backyard and Harriet was being especially cute sitting at the picnic table when she decided that she’d try standing.  She was a little nervous since this was her first time to pull up to a stand.  [gallery size="full" columns="1"]

I’m back!

June 26, 2008 – 12:50 pm

Our Internet has been down for 5 days but it is back on and I’m alive. I’m close to drowning in emails and little things that I need to catch up on, but I’ll get it done. As proof here is the top of my Google Reader. I usually read it everyday and it stays at 0. 324!!!! unread posts.

Our Internet was down because I decided to cut ahead of the crowd and sign up for this new technology. The switch cause our Internet service to quit. You may have heard of this new technology, it’s called a cell phone or “handy” for you Europeans. I know that you might think that I’m jumping the gun by getting one of these, but I’m certain that in a couple of years nearly everyone will have them. I want make sure that I’m the first one around to get one of these things. ;-)

If you want to know a little about my feelings for AT&T check out this post from Seth Godin. I love that guy. If you don’t know who Seth is just remember the 5 “B”s: bald, black, brilliant, business, blog.

For those of you who are interested on more than a picture of my cell phone, Harriet crawled half-out of her diaper the other morning. I thought that it was pretty cute.

She just won’t quit!

We’ve offered her The Patch. We’ve warned her about the dangers, but she just won’t quit.

A Perfect Sunday Afternoon

June 10, 2008 – 8:51 am

Last Sunday we packed up our towels, swimsuits, and kids and headed over to our friends’ house for an afternoon.  The weather was amazingly perfect.  Phoebe, Win’s 9-year-old playmate, rescued some plastic containers from their recycling pile for Win to play with.  He loved pouring and dumping pool water back and forth between them.  Harriet played in the grass.  We enjoyed the perfectly refreshing pool and comfortable conversation.  It was a really great afternoon!

This is Pheobe.  She and Win play together for hours on end.  The youngest of 4, she’s sweet, easy going and loves to play.  Win calls their house, “Phoebe’s house.”
