The Pickles: In which we breathe deeply
http://thepickles.blogspot.com/2014/05/in-which-we-breathe-deeply.html
Monday, May 05, 2014. In which we breathe deeply. I solemnly swear I will publish this today or perish in the attempt. Basically, I had to make sure they weren't running around naked and eating nothing but berries and nuts while I was gone. I actually asked prayers from several friends for peace of mind about the trip, and of course God totally answered them. The actual traveling was pretty awesome! It also helped that I was carrying a secret weapon - Andy's cheeks. Andy did really well on the flight....

The Pickles: Baby Bedhead
http://thepickles.blogspot.com/p/baby-bedhead.html
Babies in our house get pretty awesome bedhead, due to all the hair with which they are blessed. Herein is catalogued the offerings of the latest Pickles baby, Andrew. It's not all fun and games, though - especially when the grasping reflex meets the tonic neck reflex! My bathhead is pretty impressive, too. The haircut that started it all. I think this one takes the cake - for the rest of the morning he had a mowhawk that WOULD NOT be tamed. Mmf whaz goin' on? And I need another haircut! 2015 - New baby!

The Pickles: Desperation
http://thepickles.blogspot.com/2015/03/desperation.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. I only have so much energy to expend on devising creative punishments for ignoring Mommy. Thankfully this is helping - there is a certain amount of shame in being asked to make a Red Mark on the white board in the kitchen where all can see. (Although a certain nameless someone found too much creative enjoyment in the task.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In the Country of the Blind.

The Pickles: Random summer photodump
http://thepickles.blogspot.com/2015/08/random-summer-photodump.html
Monday, August 03, 2015. The traditional these-were-intended-to-be-separate-posts-but-now-I'm-hitting-you-with-them-altogether post. Virginia is trying to woo us with diludherin' lies that it is a lovely and pleasant state in the summertime. We've only had a handful of truly beastly days - everything else has been 70s-80s with low humidity and gentle breezes. And here I thought it was going to be the worst summer in Virginia history, since I was due the first week of August! I didn't know we had hibiscus!

http://thepickles.blogspot.com/2015/07/just-helpin-dad-with-yard-work.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Just helpin' Dad with the yard work. Note to aspiring gardeners: hedge trimmers are sharp! It's all fun and games until someone loses a finger. A quick trip to the ER and a good dose of advil later, and she's all patched up! Her poor finger looks like a cactus from all the stitches, but the doctor said WARNING WARNING DO NOT READ THE REST OF THIS SENTENCE. This is one of those moments when as a parent you realize you don't appreciate your children's guardian angels NEARLY enough.

http://thepickles.blogspot.com/2005/06/miriam-english-dictionary.html
