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.
Mazie's 2011
Today was the 2011 So Long Summer show! Our neighbors the Miller’s host this every year for five years running now. It’s the last Sunday before school and a ton of kids in the neighborhood do performances. It’s awesome on so many levels.
This year Mazie sang a song from her now favorite movie, Annie. She sang “It’s a Hard Knock” life and knocked it out of the park!
I was so proud of her — great job! The crappy focusing is my poor performance on my camera.

Tyler got a new background to his landing page website. tylerthing.com Gave me an excuse to use the text-shadow CSS attribute.
Tyler Walking
Tyler is an exceptional crawler. He passed his 1 year birthday without feeling the need to work on walking all that much. Why walk when you can crawl super fast! In the past few weeks he has worked on finding his balance and taking steps. He can now walk a good dozen or more steps without falling! He is also now sometimes choosing to walk instead of crawl. I have a feeling he’ll be running around the house in no time.
Tyler and his Music Table
Tyler is working hard at learning to walk. Pushing his music table is a favorite of his.

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.
You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. — Tyler Durden
I’m 1000% jokey and your 100% jokey. — Mazie
Tuned into Pathways on WELY this morning. Nice cup of espresso to go along. Tammy’s making breakfast. Fire going in fireplace. Great espresso. Mazie coloring. Getting ready to smoke some pork.
After 5 days I have finally found my watch. Indeed, Mazie had been “tricky” and hid it, then promptly forgot!
Haven’t been able to find my watch all day. My guess is Mazie hid it and then forgot about it. Hmmm….
2009 State Fair
We had a great time at the Minnesota State Fair this year. This year was the first year that Mazie really got into it. Highlights included the butterfly house, carousel ride, cookies, skyjump and the butter heads. Mazie had an awesome time on the skyjump.
