Family
Heartfelt updates about family milestones and everyday moments. From taking Mazie to college and annual visits to the Renaissance Festival to Swedish‑pancake breakfasts and VR outings with the kids, this category celebrates togetherness.
Happy Valentines Day 2011

Mazie made me this awesome and sweet Valentine. Happy Valentines to everyone!
Sunday Afternoon Sledding
We all got bundled up this afternoon, grabbed the Mountain Boy sleds and headed over to the sledding hill. Even Tyler got into the action taking a couple of runs on the toboggan with the family.

Here is a quick video from the afternoon.
TODO: Add video.
We had a great time!
Family Websites Updated
We took a little time this weekend and updated everyone else’s websites this weekend.
Tyler now has a landing page up on his website. No blog or anything for him, just a simple page with some links. Mazie switched to a new theme and I posted a bunch of her pictures from the last few weeks. Last but not least Tammy also put a new theme on Smaller Than a Redwood.
Everyone looks clean, fresh and nicely updated!
Tyler and his Music Table
Tyler is working hard at learning to walk. Pushing his music table is a favorite of his.
Add video.
This video was made entirely on my iPhone. 😀
I’m also trying a new way of embedding video that doesn’t rely on a video service. Hopefully this works well.
Mazie and I had a ton of fun this afternoon stacking up blocks as fast as we could and then having Tyler knock them down.

My mom was visiting today and Mazie wanted to perform a song for her. Out came the microphone!

Tyler Playing with his Shoes
Tyler was having a blast flinging his shoes around on the coffee table.

And then he coyly hid them under the table and gave me this great look. 😀


Tyler helped Dad unload the dishwasher this morning. Chase’s lack on an opposable thumb made him much less helpful.
Kids See Santa 2010
Tammy took Mazie and Tyler for their annual trip to see Santa Claus. Mazie was super excited to see Santa and tell him what she wanted in her stocking. Tyler seemed less excited to see this strange guy in a big red suit. 🙂

Tyler Working on Standing
Tyler is getting better better at standing. We expect it will still be a while before he is walking. But he much prefers being upright. Meanwhile he has a bugger of a rash on his face from sucking his thumb.
