So, while everyone else seemed to be outside moving snow around, especially off of their roofs (modern English), over the weekend, I was busy with other things. Then today, with the wind whipping, hard and cold out of the northwest, I decided to get up on my roof. I ended up being on the rooftop, or at least on the top of the highest roof I could actually get to, for more than two hours. Continue Reading...
In Good Hands
We have experienced our share of sickness this winter season, but we are in good hands. See, we have a pair of doctors living among us... Continue Reading...
The Twins Visit With Santa
Double
Photography 101. I had to go with an older photo of our, now 4-year-old, twins. There's no double that I love more than this double. The twins at one month old. Continue Reading...
Deer Driveway
While looking at a deer that was grazing alongside our driveway this morning, Jacqueline asked me how old I thought the deer was. I said, "Oh it's probably two years old." She yelped loudly, "TWO YEARS OLD!?!? I've never heard of that before!" Continue Reading...

The bottom of the snow man
Okay this is one of the cutest things I've heard in a long time. After pointing out numerous icons, pictures, and various graphics on a map of Disney's Animal Kingdom, we came to a picture of a yeti.

Anyway, just minutes later as I playfully chased the twins down the hall, Jacqueline stopped Continue Reading...

She clings to me as if her life is on the line, and I hold her, and smile, awaiting the tale that is to Continue Reading...
Twin photo request
The twins, inspired by the earlier photos of the deer, wanted to get in on the fun as well. Jacqueline asked me to take her picture, while Theodore had no interest in moving from his play spot. Jacqueline went around the corner, to get out of my line of vision, so she could remove her pajamas. She reappeared with this lovely ensemble that she picked out herself. She then asked if I could take her Continue Reading...
Morning banter
This is just a sample of this mornings' banter. It could be any morning really. Jacqueline: I want to color. Me: Okay, you want to color, over here? Jacqueline: Ummm, no. I want to play cards for a while. Meanwhile, Theodore hearing that she wanted to color had grabbed a coloring book for her. As he sets the coloring book on their play table... Jacqueline: Oh, thanks buddy. Theodore: You're Continue Reading...
