gap: jim's new toy

I bought Jim a cool new camera for his birthday: the Olympus waterproof/shockproof point and shoot. It’s perfect for our lifestyle: boating, swimming, beaching etc. I figured Merrik could use it too since he can toss it around and it will survive. It’s technically for Jim’s surf trip to Fiji in October but we will [...]

Right after I took this pic of Merrik “posing” in Maliea’s activity saucer he told me he didn’t have to smile for the camera. Oh, yes you do (at least every once in awhile)!! What a smile.

thought: the new, more personal and immediate way to correspond

My new friend Natalae just started her first blog. She is the mom I just met whose adorable son, Armand, jives with Merrik. I am so excited to now read about another mom’s daily adventures. I wish everyone I know would do this so I could keep up to date with them. It makes me [...]

thought gap: back to the beach

We finally made it to the beach today after Merrik has been recouperating from the flu. This is my favorite shot of the day, even though there are so many that capture Merrik and Armand-the two peas in a pod-and Griffin in the wash cycle. This image just says it all about a mom at [...]

gap: tummy time all the time

Maliea is rolling over every time I put her down now. She loves to be on her tummy as long as Merrik is nearby and she can see what he is doing. She is already trying to crawl to him. Here she is “flying” with Merrik nursing the flu in the background. She is getting [...]
