After seeing Andrew, Miss Fiona was a sweet little button – she looks oh-so-precious in her bunny suit. 

Mark was in town and managed to steal some time with the babies – Andrew is a fantastic drooler and has a tough grip – very impressive sitting skills, mr. ) 

February 26, 2005 :: After hours of plaintiff crying we allowed Cricket and Crenshaw to take a peek around outside and survey the new landscaping.

February 25:: yesterday I welcomed a box from Red Envelope containing a painters can filled with all things calm (Thanks to Chris). I happened to be looking through the Perfect Package book a few days earlier and hadn’t yet put… Continue Reading →

Mark had to go to Dallas yesterday:: D.I.A. has great signs up to help you remember where you are. I wonder if anyone wants to park on floor one – probably not the little stick figure on the bottom. 🙂 

February 20 :: Early morning the coyotes amble down the fairway.

Training for the snowshoeing challenge later in the month, Mark stares down the mountains. Stupid oxygen deficit…quoth mark

The firepit takes form. The new cinderblock and rough cement look is all the rage in Colorado. Actually, the faux stone finish is going on later. Sometimes it seems construction is like making sausages: you’d rather not see how it’s… Continue Reading →

When Mandys away, the geeks will play! Mark spent last night getting the rack mount server up and running and the networking and phone more neatly arranged. Next project – home video distribution.quoth mark

February 5, 2005 :: Taking a walk through the neighborhood – this is Thunder Lake Park – an eating area constructed from rock – little like the flinstones! Our house is right behind my head – Big Red!

January 31, 2005 :: Blanket of Snow (View from our patio). Woke up to even more snow – Mark shoveled the front walk, but the blue skies and sun took care of our back patio.  

First snow, January 30, 2005 :: just what we were waiting for. Our landscaping team has been working as fast as possible during the past heat wave – now the little bobcat sits covered in white powder (I wonder if… Continue Reading →
