Emma and the Big Ball

Sunday, May 1st, 2011

A couple weeks ago we bought a big playground ball for Emma. She's torn between being afraid of it and liking it. She chases it a little bit, and will nudge it to get a treat to roll off, but if it's rolling at her, she'll run away ...

Happy Easter!

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

Happy Easter from us! I got some fun Easter socks for me and a flower headband for Emma. Delicious hot cross buns for breakfast (from The Essential Baking Company,a local organic company), a little homemade chicken noodle soup for lunch, and I'll be making a nice little rack ...

Emma and Spring Snow/Sleet/Hail

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Today was a very weird weather day around these parts. Shaun said it was overcast but not much else down in Seattle, but up here in south Everett, I encountered a mini-sleet blizzard driving into work, and throughout the day it wavered between rain, drizzle, snow, sleet, and soft ...

Emma Watching the Snow

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Emma used to get up on the back of our old couch all the time, walk along it, and perch to watch us. She hadn't gotten up on the back of the new couch yet, though. It's a bit taller, and she just didn't have motivation to get ...

More Snow for Emma

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

Another lowland snow for us thanks to the La Nina pattern this winter. It was brief, but pretty heavy. We got a bit over an inch over the course of a couple hours this morning from the convergence zone storm, but we already have clear skies. Emma ...

A Nice Christmas

Sunday, December 26th, 2010

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas! We did. :-) Besides the orange french toast in the morning, we had a nice little standing rib roast with some roasted carrots and brussels sprouts. Emma got to gnaw on the bone for part of her ...

Corgi Secret Santa

Saturday, December 25th, 2010

I joined a secret santa this year with a group of bloggers who own corgis. My secret santa was D Ruiz, and my draw was Jenna Z.. D Ruiz sent me a great pair of corgi socks to add to my collection :-D

Snugglebug Emma

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

She insisted on getting on the pillow between me and the couch arm, even though I'd been leaning there, and then she wrapped herself around my shoulder got all snuggly. She almost looks like she's trying to read my computer screen :-)

Snow for Emma

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

Last night it snowed here and we got about 3 inches accumulation. The roads are all iced over, and the northwest's "new and improved" snow plans are pretty much just as lousy as before. We took some pictures as it was coming down, and let Emma loose along ...

Broncos Socks

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Last year for Christmas my folks got me some spiffy Broncos socks that I often wear on game days. In honor of Monday night football and the fact that my Broncos are actually sorta playing for at least these first few minutes, I'm posting them :-D ...
