The Very Rich Hours of the Lambrights

We’re having a pretty relaxed weekend around here.  Yesterday, we took the girls to Pipsqueaks to get them out of the house for awhile.  Pipsqueaks is an indoor playground set up by the United Way.  They have a whole gym filled with playground equipment, toys, a whole area set aside for riding toys, etc.  There’s [...]

We’ve been busy the last few days getting Kaylee settled in since she and Nicole came home on Saturday.  Things are going pretty well.  Kaylee tends to sleep a lot during the day and get restless at night but it’s nothing we can’t handle.
Rayna has handled this really well.  She was a little unsettled for [...]

In the last few weeks, Rayna has become very fond of books. Before, she was interested in them the same way she would be interested in any toy–something to chew on, throw, touch, etc. Now, she actually looks through the pages and seems to understand that each one has its own content. [...]

It’s Thursday night and I’m relaxing watching the Kansas City/Miami preseason game on ESPN.  I don’t get all the Chiefs games up here in Minnesota so I’m grateful for any chance to see the big red machine, even if it’s just a preseason game.
It’s been awhile since I posted anything here so things have been [...]

Got some new pictures of Rayna up on the photo page.  Some of them are a couple of months old; I cleaned out my cellphone and found a bunch of pictures taken with the camera.  She’s getting cuter every day.
Tommy Makem passed away today at the age of 74.  He was a key figure in [...]

We got a new bed!

What with Nicole being pregnant and both us craving a little room to spread out, we decided to take the plunge and get a king-size bed.  I’ve driven through counties that were smaller than this thing.  It took a couple of nights to get used to it but we are sleeping [...]

A few new pictures from playing outside last weekend are up on our picture site.  We tried out the new bubble machine.  Rayna didn’t quite know what to make of all the bubbles swirling around her.  She didn’t run away but she didn’t drop her guard, either.

We just wrapped up a visit from Grandma Lambright and her friend Wayne. They drove up a couple of days ago to see Rayna and just check things out. We had a pretty good time despite the lousy weather; Rayna put on quite a show for Grandma and performed all her tricks. [...]

A 2005 Saturn Vue, to be precise.  My PT Cruiser 2-door convertible was a fine ride but it just wasn’t compatible with a family of four.  So we traded it in on a Vue with a V6 and All Wheel Drive.  Without going into the details, I feel pretty good about what we spent and [...]

And on the third day, he rose.
Happy Easter, everyone! Today, we’re getting ready for church and will then go to Nicole’s sister’s place in Rose Creek to celebrate. But first, we’ve hidden some plastic eggs around the living room and plan to turn Rayna loose on them after breakfast. “Hidden” is probably [...]
