Gramee’s

Aiden, Family Fun, Humor, Memories, Pictures
So, as I browsed the family blog this morning (my Rawlings family and I have a private family blog), I was talking with Aiden about who the people were in the pictures.  He likes pictures. When we were at IKEA last Saturday Aiden saw a tall dark man with dreads and glasses.  He pointed and yelled "Guy!"  Why I knew he meant our friend Isani, I don't know, but I knew, LOL!  Sure enough, when he saw the pic with Isani in it on the blog (one of the ones I posted here) he yelled "Guy!"  LOL!  I guess I was right! Then we scrolled down to the post my Mom had done about some stuff my family had done with Kevin's family, and posted some pictures. He was too…

I've gone through dancing, singing, writing, scrap-booking, piano playing (don't put me on any lists, I only took lessons for like 4 months) stamping, card making, drawing, natural toiletry making (bath salts, lotion etc), shoes, nails,…

Doctor Doctor!

Family Fun, Life in Texas, Memories, Michael
Michael went to the doctor today for his six year check-up.  It's true, he's growing like mad.  LOL!  He's over 4 feet tall, and more than 6o pounds.  That's 90 and 95+ Percentile.  He also needs glasses.  :(  But he seems excited about it.  He was very relived to find he doesn't need shots, and then sad when he realized that meant we weren't going to go get ice cream.  I'd promised ice cream to help him feel better IF he got shots.  He's all excited to go pick out a pair of glasses that "look like chocolate on vanilla ice cream."  I don't know what that means...  I do know he wants brown glasses though, fine with me.  :) Afterwords we went to an organic foods grocery store which…

Memory Tag

Humor, Me, Memories
If you blog much you probably know the drill, but in case you don't, please comment to me a memory you have of me or with me, then, if you'd like post a memory submission on your blog and I'll come and comment on a memory with you.  THANKS! Edited 7-27-08, I'm bumping this back to the top since it got buried below others posts so fast.

Another IKEA Saturday.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Humor, Kevin, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures, Venting
Daddy Smiling as we're finally out on our way.  Mom was super slow getting ready to go, and so we left about 3 hours later than he would have liked. We went to a fun little BBQ place and enjoyed a quiet lunch. We got to IKEA and dropped Michael off at Smalland, and headed on our way enjoying the whole showroom floor at a snails pace. A pretty dish set with lots of colorful creamy Bokeh. A head board I like a lot, thought I think Kevin has had his share of iron beds and our next one will be wooden, or if it's the right fabric, upholstered. We timed it just right to be done with the top floor just as it was time to pick up Michael.   …

Photography Stuff

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Me, Michael, Pictures, Venting
My favorite lens died. :(  I'm so sad.  I don't know if it's cheaper to have it fixed or replaced, and if I get it fixed, who says it'll stay fixed.  It's the auto focus mechanism that's out, and maybe those parts are like transmissions, and once they're gone they tend to be a money pit until you replace the whole thing...  So I'm looking for a new lens. But, playing around I got these two and edited one of Joey's to sorta match. What'aya think?  Should I get them printed?

Pardon My Dust

Blog Changes
I'm tired of the blue lattice and tulips look.  So if you come along and things are, well, weird, you'll know why.  Hopefully any weirdness is temporary.  Well, I could probably always be considered weird, but I think you gather the point I'm trying to make.  :P

Hurricane Dolly

Life in Texas
In case anyone is wondering we're absolutely fine.  It hit the coast a few hours drive south west from here.  The power was knocked out three times, but came right back on each time. I went to Girls Night Out during a chunk of the storm, and thought the drive there was a little goofy, dry one second, flooding downpour the next, and 50 yards later dry again, everything's normal. I actually rather enjoyed the interesting weather, and have been enjoying the left over rain today.
