brrrr!

It has been terribly cold for Belgium this last week. The frost never burns off the back lawn, and I never completely warm up until I crawl back into bed at night. Today we decided to stay home where it was (fairly) warm and cozy, instead of venturing out into the deceitfully bright [...]

Liam's tricks

Update to the drawer lock situation…
We had drawer locks on the armoir that holds our television and DVDs. He can now open and close the bottom drawers with impunity. I may as well remove the locks. As for the kitchen drawer, we use a spatula to depress the latch. If he [...]

My stuff for a change

K writes all the posts, so I thought I’d put in one of my own. No pictures. Physics 111 is child’s play. The course isn’t done until February 20th, but I’ve been done with all the homework assignments since last week. I was expecting a calculus based physics course. This [...]

suckers!

We regret that we must preempt today’s portion of “101 things Liam loves” to bring you this special announcement. We have been suckered into buying a Sky subscription.
Those of you that know us well might remember that, upon leaving Hawaii, Jesse and I vowed not to have ANY television in our next home. [...]

101 things

Every blog must have a *101 things* list on it somewhere. 101 favorite things. 101 worst moments. It’s a rule. I looked it up. So here’s the beginning of our list:

1. Tractors — to the point of obsession. We have seven spread out on our living [...]

hug a monkey

This post is for Jesse’s Gramma. When he was a boy, she made him a sock monkey. Now it’s one of Liam’s favorite stuffed animals. Here’s a shot of both generations with their monkey.

Happy/Sad

I remember hearing stories of my cousin Chris practicing faces in the mirror — trying to get the sad, pitiful look down pat for sympathy, you know? Well, Liam’s been practicing his “happy” and “sad” faces. See?
HAPPY

SAD

The sad look is getting better, as he can now make his chin quiver on command, and [...]

*warning: construction ahead*

We are renovating the blog, so expect some delays and weird color combinations for the next few days. Our new header image compliments of Jesse and les vaches d’Harmignies (the cows of Harmignies).

catching up

Are you sick of hearing how sick we all are? Us, too. Now that life is nearly back to normal — gone are the long coughing spells and the goo oozing from our noses — perhaps we can get this blog back on track. Let’s see, what’s been happening as of late?
