  • Achievement unlocked

    Last night I spent some time looking up the day’s events of the comic con schedule only to discover that we really could do both my niece’s birthday party and parts of the convention. The day started off with getting up a little too early, and it wasn’t even Quince’s fault this time. In fact…

  • A different kind of picky eater

    A different kind of picky eater

    Here at the kitchen table, sits Quince and I enjoying our lunch while I spend time updating my website(finally!). Admittedly, I don’t have my laptop at the table when we all sit together but in this case I had just gotten my food ready and sat down when he woke up from his nap. Go…

  • Keeping watch

    Keeping watch

    It’s been some time since I posted anything. Life has been rather busy these days and some of it was rather unexpected. Quince is generally a very happy tot. Back in November, he took interest in the toilet. For Christmas he received a toddler insert seat. That alone improved our ease and frequency of use.…

  • Happy New Year!

    I hope that everyone had a great holiday season. Our Christmas was very nice, we spent the 25th in Tacoma with Richard’s side of the family. That weekend we hosted a dinner for my side of the family. For both it was a lot of fun to have all the cousins together. At Alicia’s Quince…

    Q’s first honor!

    Our certificate arrived right after Thanksgiving! What a range of goodies too; including a guide on National Parks for kids, a calendar, a lanyard and Buddy! Thanks again to everyone at the National Park Trust. We now have Buddy in each car posed and ready for any moment an adventure might present itself. In other…

This post will change as I continue sorting. If you are wondering if I have something, please ask. And continue to check back.…

    Q’s feature!

    Hello, hello! As you may have noticed the Bison Log has gotten some real attention. Who would have thought this when I sent in a picture of Quince up at Hurricane Ridge(photo below) he would be part of their newsletter. To make a long story short, after I sent in this photo, I received an…

  • The “hahahahaa” heard across the room

    The “hahahahaa” heard across the room

    Some time ago Quince decided that my ipod touch was meant for him. He claimed it and I have rarely seen it since. I am still allowed to use it when we go on a walk and I play music with it but generally speaking that’s it. On this ipod, we have added a few…

  • A sign of getting older

    We made the choice to change the orientation of Quince’s carseat from rear facing to forward. Why you ask? Well, the answer is quite simple. First, our car seat was made before the new recommendation and thus not technically designed to extend rear face. Second, he was kicking the seat back with so much force…

  • There and back again, Arizona style

    There and back again, Arizona style

    As some of you may know, our family has taken to driving to Arizona and back. Our drive down takes us along I5 until Los Angeles, the across. While the return trip we go to Grand Canyon, Utah and Yellowstone before cutting through Montana for the trip home. Total we will have gone around 3000…
