Dad

There’s nothing that makes the eyes of a youngster light up more than opening a package on Christmas. It still works pretty good, even when you’re an old fart. Speaking of farts, did you know that whoopee cushions make excellent …

The Grinch

Some entries in the tractor parade get quite long, and are hard to photograph, even with an extreme wide angle lense. Such was the case with the Bansen’s entry. (The Bansen’s own the farm where Lauren got to visit.) Their …

Ferndale Lighted Tractor Parade

For the first time since we’ve moved here, Ferndale’s Tractor Parade was a dry event. After last night’s rain and wind it didn’t look hopeful, but the rain stopped earlier in the day, and it only drizzled for a few …

That seems to be Trevor’s favorite question lately. He knows as soon as he hears the cookie bag rustling, that milk will shortly follow. This picture is just for Mom. She’ll probably never eat in our house again.
