Varcoe Views: July 2008

http://varcoeviews.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 24, 2008. I have to say I've been proud of myself today. I took Barb's vacuum apart (she'd run over a cable to her computer, which wrapped itself around the beater bar and cut off the power), and -even better - I got it put back together! Then I reattached the cable (to the right spot even! And lo and behold, the computer works too! AND THEN, I learned to blog! Actually, my favorite day looks more like this:. Two or more great-grandkids on my lap -perfect! Tuesday, July 22, 2008. As the ti...

Varcoe Views: February 2009

http://varcoeviews.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 13, 2009. Whenever I read an exceptionally. Good book I like to let others know about it. I just finished reading "Against Medical Advice" by James Paterson and Hal Friedman. It's a true story about Cory Friedman, put in his own words by the authors. Cory has been afflicted since age 5 with Tourette's. The book tells of the struggles and trials he and his family went through as a result. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). God is our jealous lover. View my complete profile.

Varcoe Views: August 2009

http://varcoeviews.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 27, 2009. Convinced most people have no concept of just how much a trillion dollars represents, including those in our government. I was trying to figure out a way to which people might be able to relate, and I came up with the idea of figuring how much distance a trillion dollars would cover if one dollar bills were placed end to end. The following is what I came up with. A dollar bill measures 6 1/8 inches long. There are 10,344.5 dollars. In 10 years. That is absolute madness.

The Walker Clan: March 2012

Friday, March 30, 2012. San Diego: Zoo and Hodad's. The zoo was amazing, and I am so glad we took the time to go. After our bus tour, we wandered around some of the exhibits and quickly realized this zoo was huge! From here we moved over to the panda exhibit since this is something we can't see in Seattle. It was quite busy and we had to wait in a short line in order to walk on a small walkway in front of the panda. We saw a couple pandas and then it was over. I am glad we went through the ex...After the...

The Walker Clan: December 2011

http://lukeandkendra.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 2, 2011. 18 Months (We are running a bit late around here). Owen is now 32 3/4 inches tall (70th percentile), and 23 lbs 12 oz. (25th percentile). Owen is a climbing, jumping, running machine! He loves to do agility drills with his daddy and Grandpa Walker. He also did his first somersault over Thanksgiving break unassisted. I think it was a bit of a one time fluke, but he was so proud of himself when he finally accomplished it! He has been trying to do it on his own for a few weeks now.

The Walker Clan: May 2012

Sunday, May 6, 2012. Baby on the Way: 1st and 2nd Trimester. I was looking back at old blog posts and realized pretty quickly that I have not blogged much about this pregnancy! When we found out we were pregnant again, we were thrilled! Fortunately, I am feeling pretty well now, other than the fact that I feel like the size of a whale. The best part of this stage is that our little boy has become incredibly active! Here is our sweet boy at 21 weeks. Here is our boy at 27.5 weeks. A little piece of me.

The Walker Clan: 18 Months

http://lukeandkendra.blogspot.com/2014/03/18-months.html

Monday, March 17, 2014. He has all his teeth but the last four molars. It has been nice that they came in when he is so young because we have gone a good long stretch without teething pain. He still seems to love to put things in his mouth though! We have been working pretty diligently to teach him that toys and other objects don't go in his mouth. In the past month, I have finally started to see some improvement. In addition to being an over-zealous climber, this boy is fearless! Beckett loves his cousi...

The Walker Clan: April 2012

http://lukeandkendra.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 24, 2012. San Diego: Our last day. We had one objective for our last day in San Diego: keep Owen awake until we boarded the plane at 3:00 pm! After our crazy flight down, we were hoping to get him to sleep for the entire flight home. His usual nap starts around 2:00 and while we were in San Diego he often fell asleep by 12:30. We knew it would be tough keeping him awake, but we were determined. This is what we returned home to! San Diego: La Jolla and Tommy's. I tried Target first, because...

The Walker Clan: September 2012

http://lukeandkendra.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 27, 2012. It is not really surprising that Beckett has quickly grabbed hold of our hearts, and we can no longer imagine life without in him in our little family! That pile of laundry that really needs to be folded just doesn't seem to matter when I am snuggling with my two boys. They are only small for so long, and in Beckett's case I feel he is already growing at lightening speed. We sure are trying to cherish these special moments while they are small. This boy loves to eat! He was ...

Varcoe Views: December 2008

http://varcoeviews.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 20, 2008. We finally dug out from our record snowfall, and then again - and again- as we got 30" in two days! Buses, mail, and newspaper delivery stopped, even the mall closed. Cathie couldn't get home -or even out of our driveway- so she spent 2 nights, and was a Godsend as she and Ken put in 3 sessions of snow blowing and shoveling, for 6 hours total the first day, and then 2 or 3 times the next day. I conveniently came down with a cold and was denied the fun. God is our jealous lover.
