Today was our second round of making cakes. We made a firetruck for PJ’s birthday tomorrow. PJ’s mom just thinks we used a flat cake mold to make the cake, so hopefully she likes this… This is a shot of Lorena doing the not-so-fun crumb coat.Here’s me, applying some of the star outercoat (we did […]

Queens of Cakes
For Heather’s shower, Lorena, Chris and I had the grand plan to make a cake with fondant. Actually, Lorena had the grand plan. Chris and I just nodded and went along with it. I guess we watch too much Ace of Cakes and they make it look so easy, so we thought we’d try our […]
Belated Fair Pictures
Trying out some Fair food. I think this was fried dough. Mmmmm… Josiah getting some treats from Lorena. Feeding the goats! Relaxing and enjoying some bluegrass music. Isaac and Dad, intently watching the performance.
Dixie Classic Fair
It’s Dixie Classic Fair week!We tried to go on Saturday, but had a long (and frustrating) encounter at Bank of America that left us a little strapped for time. So, Derek came home early yesterday and we headed there yesterday afternoon. We have some pictures, but they’re on Derek’s camera, so they’ll have to wait. […]
Adventures in the Triangle
On Sunday, Isaac and I made the long trek to the Raleigh/Durham region. We just came back last night and we’re both still recovering from our wild adventure. We got in around 7:30 pm and went to my old church and visited some old pals there. Then, we went over to the Minors to visit […]
Double The Fun
I’m babysitting an extra baby today. Baby Cora, who is 5 1/2 months old, is visiting for the day. She normally splits time between her grandparents, but one of them is sick in the hospital, so I’m trying to help out. Right now, both little ones are napping. Nice. We’ll see how it goes. My […]
Baby, It’s 3 am, I must be….
…desperate. Last night, while discussing Isaac’s new sleep troubles with Lorena, I told her, “the good thing is, no matter what, I always know that if I can get through the day, I can count on him going to sleep at night and sleeping through the night”. When he was only a few months old, […]
We Have Liftoff!
So, Isaac is crawling. Everywhere. He was trying hard before I went to NY, but a series of events seemed to stall him. 1. We went to NY, where everyone held him. All the time.2. When he wasn’t held, he was confined to very small areas with hard floors.3. He started to push up on […]
Jake in NC – Days 5 & 6
Lots to report this time… Yesterday, Jake and I walked into the hoppin’ town of Lewisville and scored some coffees from Casanova’s. Then, Derek’s sister’s little boy came over. Jake taught him how to jump off the couch onto a pile of pillows. We only watched him for a little bit, before Derek’s mom came […]
