PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Meanwhile out in Idaho, still waiting ....

As the month of November comes to a close, the family is waiting to hear news of the newest impending arrival.

None more so than Christina, as you can see...

 Soon Nathan will no longer be the baby, so he's snuggling up a lot to Momma.
 
 Nothing seems to dim that smile for long though.

 The kids are adorable, so I can't wait to see how they react to a new baby sister.


Thanks to Grumpa for pulling these off places and forwarding them on to me. Thanks to their parents for letting me use them.

Photo of the Day: Reading between the (blue) lines

This came in via my e-mail and my Twitter feeds last night. 


UM...

WHAT?!



Aside from knowing that my brother J seems to be about to lose his mind, you can now infer what I can infer.

And you know what I know.

Updates later.

Time Flies: The Twins Grew Up!

Look at what a difference about 10 months makes! 

 Happy Birth Week Nov. 2012
Cannon and Sarah: Professional Glamor Baby Shotz (TM)
Happy Thanksgiving 2012!
No one could stay up to check on Santa.
January 2013: Stare down: Sarah wins!
FEED US! We're hungry!
We solemnly swear we are up to no good! They learned from the Weasleys.
Duckface and "Cheese!"
Look at us, we're fancy!
Unimpressed twins are unimpressed!
Look at Cannon's drooooooooool!

Sarah does not like tummy time.
Webble wobble twins
Making a break for it on Labor Day.
Yep. They are standing.
 Ah yes, the obligatory baby butt shots. Had to. 
Luckily, there is NO traffic to this site.

Also, to note, for the record: Cannon's super resemblance to Drew at those ages.
Sarah is her OWN distinct little personality, for sure.

Thanks to my parents, sibs, family Facebook accounts, and e-mail for the majority of these pictures. 
I haven't shot anything of them, or SNUGGLED, since January. 
They won't want to snuggle so much in December.
Sad Auntie is sad.

When is my flight again? December 20-what?

Vacation Overview: Babies, Bro, B-days, and Beauty

Rules of the house
From one brother to another: does she look like me?
Yup! There are "Dos Bebes!"
Making sure Dad does it right.
What you looking at? We're trying to sleep here.
Learning how we roll
Two roads diverged in a park ...
There's no gold in there them hills


Now that I'm "back" it will still take a day or two to catch up on the work situation. More photos soon.
