Take duvet cover, add powerful fan. I’m not sure where this idea was born, but who cares? It’s cool!

Add every single stuffed animal in the house. We shipped almost all of their stuffed animals down, plus most of their toys. This was to make their transition easier with familiar things about, but also because they have different needs & priorities. Besides – the stuffed animals were great as packing material in the shipping barrels.

Making faces at the camera is totally genetic, except I started consciously after 6th grade. A high school friend who I recently got in touch with on Facebook even noted that he has ‘dad’s sense of humor.’ This confirms my suspicion that he’s me to the nth power.

I love this pic – our camera is an older model but it has this neat settings that takes a pic with a flash, then continues exposure for another second. The result is a neat blurry but not blurry in-motion pic.

That’s our little boy :-)

    I love gorgeous little long-haired boys :-) Ours says that his next hair cut will be in 4 years. His last one was self-inflicted, when hair in his eyes pissed him off. He looked like he had a mullet for 2 months!
