Wednesday activity

Wednesday, Ethan's kindergarten class enjoyed a field trip to the local children's museum. Ylfelynn, Orion, Meri, and Jessica got to tag along.

The other Friday tragedy

At approximately 8pm Friday, one Brayton took a tumble and kissed the corner of the wall. I do not mean a "peck". This was a violent kiss. He tripped over a random box of toys adrift in the family room. He was carrying Jessica and did not see the box. He probably sacrificed his face to set Jessie down softly on the carpet - she was fine. After a sizable amount of blood and 3+ hours at the urgent care, Brayton now looks like this. One stitch in the upper lip and five below. He says he felt nothing after the intial injections of local anesthetic. What a trooper. Too bad I did not take a picture before the stitches - we would have to change the rating on this site.

6 stiches makes me happy

A Larson wants in

I talked to Amanda last night and she wants in on the whole blog thing. She is a Larson but I guess we can make an exception this once. Also Mathew is a hacker so its all good.

Tragedy strikes in the backyard

On Friday, we went outside to check on the dove's nest we had been watching in the backyard. It was only about five feet off the ground in the ivy on the fence so it was easy to see. There were two eggs in the nest. Sometime Thursday night, the ivy was torn from the fence (cinder block wall actually) by the wind or something and the nest was dumped. On Friday, the mama dove was gone and the nest empty. Rummaging around in the foliage below the nest, we found the two eggs. One was slightly cracked. We quickly dismissed the thought of making an omelet, however exotic that may sound. The kids wanted to attempt to save the eggs. We made a nest of feathers in a cereal bowl. They are still sitting on the counter. No sign of life. We will probably lay them to rest here in a couple of days, sniff.

So this is how to post pictures

The Lancaster Teares 
Here is us in front of our home. What else can be said? Oh I know. We got rid of the vine choking the pillar in the left of the photo - it looks much better now. Also Ylfelynn was not too keen on the little white fence. It is no longer with us.

Cody - you have admin rights - I did not get a chance to fiddle some more. I did try and post a picture unsuccesfully - I downloaded all the stuff and still no picture. I need some more time to fiddle.

Sunday night fiddlin

I am dinking around on a Sunday night. Is a blog for me? Do I have sufficient free time to support such an enterprise? How come you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?
