It was another pretty nice December day in Lincoln, so my mom and I loaded up the kids and spent the last hour of daylight at the Blue Park (Stransky, for you locals). It occurs to me today that photography is so much about light and that it’s an interesting twist and added challenge for […]

Simon went downstairs to get the remote that doesn’t work so that he and Ian could pretend to watch TV from their submarine beds. Sigh. DPP pics from past years: 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 (one of my favorite pics of all time)

Decorating a gingerbread house (or train) has become a yearly tradition with Grandma Morehead. If the boys had had their druthers, they would have eaten as much candy as they put on the house. In other news, today was also a sick day for Jason, who has a nasty cold. And we had a most […]

The boys helped me make waffles this morning, and Clara didn’t want to be left out. We’ve started a couple new charts on our kitchen chalkboark, one for obedience and one for (not) complaining. The obedience one is new this morning, and we have some kinks to work out, but the basic idea is every […]
