One Tooth Smile

Roy just loves feeding himself! An egg yolk and half a piece of toast is the best thing going right now. Roy turned 9 months old this week, and we had a really fun day celebrating with a trip to the zoo on an almost spring-like day.

Making Weekend

This weekend was the sausage making party, and holy cow, there was A LOT of sausage made. It was a house full of hunters grinding, mixing, casing and dividing up over 240 lbs of meat. They made sweet italian, hot italian, polish, and cajun sausage and cherry brats + beer brats, plus loose breakfast sausage [...]

I Think He Learned It From the Dogs

Open the refrigerator door, and Roy crawls over as fast as he possibly can to get a glimpse of the inside of this white beast. This time we left it open to see what he wanted most. Answer: Maple Syrup.

Roy is 7 1/2 months old now, and is crawling all over the house, quickly and with a mission in mind. Sometimes it is to see dad in the office, or to grab Kona’s tail, or to see mom in the kitchen. Sometimes it is just to check out a pair of mom’s shoes on [...]

31 Weeks Old!

Roy would like you to meet Skully. Skully is Roy’s absolute favorite buddy right now, and he goes everywhere with him. He tags along while Roy crawls around the house, he sits with him in his high chair, and he comes along on car rides. He’s made of some really delicious wood, and doesn’t mind [...]
