What a difference a couple months makes!

A couple months ago, he was content to hang out in his exersaucer.



Now, he prefers hanging out next to it. (Please forgive the mess in the background. How come Kodak moments rarely happen when the house is tidy?)


My, how our little man is growing up!

Like mother, like daughter; like father, like son

I guess we're split along gender lines in this house. Mommy and daughter for UNC:


Daddy and son for NC State...


The funny thing is that Lee dressed Jocelyn and I dressed Robs!

Introducing ourselves

Hi blog! You may have forgotten who we are in our prolonged absences lately (sorry 'bout that!), so we'll introduce ourselves...

First, your writer extraordinaire (or, recently, slacker extraordinaire), as seen below with the little guy:

Then there's the handsome fella who has account privileges to make a blog post and who keeps saying that he will ... time will tell about that, I suppose! He does keep awfully busy with work and projects around the house. And, of course, important things like eating chicken pot pies with his little princess.

Speaking of handsome fellas, notice the guy in the foreground below. That cutie is currently taking the world, er, house by storm, crawling and pulling up and cruising a bit. And eating anything and everything in sight, edible or not.

And one willing accomplice who more often than not feeds her little brother anything and everything she can (whether or not it's something he ought to be eating at this point) is our precocious little gal. Who loves slides of all varieties.

And, speaking of being a slacker, you might have noticed that the album links for all these pictures are from October. That might make you think I'm two months behind on blogging.

Well.

You're wrong.

As you'll see on this picture's link,

I'm actually more behind than that.

Gulp, like as far behind as July. And I think I have some June stuff left to post too.

Sorry.

I'll try to be better. Or I'll just steal my friend's witty post about not posting if I don't get better about it.

Anyway, nice to meet you. I look forward to spending a bit more time here in the near future.

Just a hint...

...of what is to come. I have a TON of picture posts, but for now here are two favorites from my mom's visit last week while Lee was in California for Urban Search & Rescue training. (If you recall, it was US&R work that he was doing at the plant explosion in Garner this summer.)

Here's Robs in the pumpkin patch


And here's Jocelyn. With cowgirl boots. (That have Disney princesses on them whose faces light up when she walks.) And a tea set. And no pants.

Sing praises!

This little guy
has nothing wrong with his back. The MRI was completely normal.

As the shirt I wore yesterday (currently marked down at Wild Olive Tees, by the way) said, "Sing praises!" And the verse on the back is appropriate as well: "I will shout for joy and sing Your praises, for You have redeemed me." Psalm 71:23

Or, in the Shannon D paraphrase of Scripture, it's just "YIPPEEEEEE!" :)
