Brothers
Originally uploaded by Raspberry World.
We are finally coming out of birthday season around here. It started back at Thanksgiving with Marty’s birthday, and ended earlier this month with Alex’s. All of us are now a year older. And with Valentine’s day and Christmas in there too, I feel like we have been eating sweets constantly [...]
I just completed a massive update of Wordpress on Raspberry World. I have a new template and everything. If you see this on a reader, click through and check me out. I’ve joined the 21st century. Still configuring the widgets, but I’m very happy so far.

Alex is nearly four, so I’m encouraging some new behaviors. [...]
Yesterday, Charlie celebrated his first birthday by “sleeping in” until 5:45 (Alex, too), opening presents, visiting the doctor for a checkup, taking a four hour nap, and eating a cupcake. It was a great birthday! Lots of pictures are up in the January Flickr set.
Happy birthday, big guy!

Yesterday we said goodbye to Ziggy. He was a loving, sweet little friend and we will miss him terribly.
Marty and I got Ziggy from the Centre Hall SPCA in the summer of 1992. He was born in Pennsylvania, lived many years in Connecticut, and traveled to Germany and back with [...]

That is one big woodpile
Originally uploaded by Raspberry World.
Tonight as I was helping Alex get ready for bed, he told me, “Pirates can’t kill Santa Claus. Santa’s reindeer fly so fast that pirates can’t catch him.”
I don’t really like to encourage talk about killing, but I couldn’t argue with his logic, either.
Earlier in the [...]
What do you mean, chores?

Alex looks a little concerned about our intentions regarding this giant pile of logs. I am sure he was happy to learn that his dad was the one who would end up having to split the 2+ cords of wood currently filling our driveway.
We are gearing up [...]
Little gardener
Originally uploaded by Raspberry World.
Alex and I have been having a great time this month. We are seeing a lot of our friends and spending a lot of time outdoors. He’s quite a little expert at picking red tomatoes (and not picking the green ones). He’s also interested in how our pumpkin plants will [...]
Opening presents

We love you, Daddy, oh yes we do
We don’t love anyone as much as you
When you’re not with us, we’re blue
Oh, Daddy, we love you!
Happy father’s day from your family!
Lots of pictures have been uploaded to the May and June Flickr sets!
Sometimes bedtime is the best time of the day. It’s all about laughing in the bathtub, playing peek-a-boo while putting on the jammies, and snuggling and reading books and singing songs before turning out the light.
Unfortunately, tonight was not one of those nights. Tonight Alex refused to get off the potty, refused to sit down [...]
