Tryptophantastic

Partially for fun, partially to remember some of the nicknames the girls have implemented in our family, I diagrammed the following chart.

He may look like a giant Cheeto. Really he just enjoys neverending bowls of sweet potatoes.

He is also a bit sparkly with makeup. That comes on days when he doesn’t see me much, so feels the need to burrow his head in mine. And sometimes giving open-mouthed sucks, I mean, kisses.

And honest, I’m really not feeding him Cheetos.

Katya got asked to read a segment on the school’s weekly news show about the value of the month (integrity). We had her read it at home for us and recorded a little video clip.

Other new photos are up.

Katya has had a banner 6th year. Even her last few weeks have been lots of fun and amazing.

We had a small party for her last night. Later this week she and Emma will have a tea party with a couple friends.

As usual, you can follow the links on the pictures to get more information on each one.

 

In trying to decide what to make of the various places I update and write, assigned Tryptophantastic (and heidihoopes.com, which just points here) the role of being the family blog. I’ve been writing up anecdotes on a locally saved file, uploading pictures to flickr, etc., but then have to repeat myself to every family member who wants to hear how we’re doing.

So there will be more content here again, just might be more personal and family-oriented. If you’re interested in following my links, hobbies, academic pursuits, etc., my tumblr page is being assigned that role, and that also will hopefully be updated and refined soon.

I also hope that as more family and friends start reading and/or come back, they’ll leave some input, since that form of “conversation” is about all we sometimes get with you.
