Lyla in the pumpkin patch

// October 28th, 2009 // 3 Comments » // family, photography

More blogging from Springfield, Missouri for you guys. I uploaded most of these before I left, but just haven’t had a chance to show them off on this blog.
We trekked out to Schnepf Farms on Friday night for our annual outing to that wonderful place southeast of town. They do a great job of putting [...]

Amazing Race recap, leg 5

// October 26th, 2009 // 5 Comments » // fun

I figured from the previews last week that the Mika/Canaan thing would be okay, but probably a little bit overblown by whoever makes those teasers at the end of every episode.

I’m sure you were all aware of the change that came over Lance on this, his final leg of the race. From a cocky, round-house-kicker, to a humble, self-deprecating kitty…Lance and his fiance Keri exited this season without even the normal “faked” nail-biter endings that AR loves to give [...]

Lyla goes walking

This weekend Lyla apparently decided that walking around is a lot more fun (and perhaps faster) than crawling. She was going a bit nuts on Friday and Saturday, but then Sunday it seemed like it was around 80% walking to 20% crawling. At one point, she stopped crawling for almost an hour.
Of course it’s all [...]
