a week and a half ago, this little man was blessed by his dad. i am always emotional when i think of what the future holds for my children. i know it holds good things for this boy. amazing things.
but i have to admit when i start thinking about his future, i start thinking about his wife.
and being a mother-in-law.
and hoping that she likes me.
and wanting her to bring the grandkids over often.
yeah. i think too much.
(but really. please let her like me!)
i am the sidetrackiest sidetracker.
what exactly does that mean?
good question.
it means i can't ever stay on task.
i sat down yesterday at the computer to get some important things done.
did i do them?
……..
no. but i have a rockin' new desktop wallpaper instead.
maybe i'll get around to that other stuff today.
maybe.

ventura, ca
quirky
unique
charming
just like the little girl who was born here.
it's her town.
we kind of like it too.
which is probably why we frequent the place oh like 4 or 5 times a year. maybe more.
if we're lucky.
why did we ever move?
oh yeah, that one thing called a job. 🙂
and i'm sure there will be many more to come!
just curious…which one did you like best?
over the weekend i enlisted jeff to help me with a few photos as the baby project winds down. i had a few ideas in mind– 1. a bed shot like a little sussy and 2. a surfboard shot.
as i was getting ready to post them today, i had a little thought. we will both be able to impart a few of our talents with him.
jeff: to surf
me: to sleep
never knew that was a talent, eh? 🙂
whenever we rent a movie, everyone always asks if there are outtakes (which d used to call take outs). with all the photos i've been taking this month, i've got plenty of stuff that didn't make the cut. but they make me laugh. so here's just a few…
1. plugging his nose (did i stink?)
2. after spitting up, he had two little chunks stuck to his gums looking like teeth. nasty!
3. break dancing the roger rabbit or stretching? you choose.
4. lincoln crashing the scene. he's a cute little crasher though.
5. christian spit up all over. hence lincoln heading for cover and dallin in complete disgust. did i mention he spits up a lot? no really. a lot.
6. i don't know. this looks more like a "behind bars" shot than a cute baby photo. 🙂
boys.
silly
rowdy
smelly
goofy
how i love my beautiful boys.
when he is older i will tell him about his name.
i will tell him about his Danish ancestry and his great great
grandparents who immigrated to this country to worship with the saints.
i will tell him about his grandpa, the kindest, most giving and loving person i know.
i will tell him the feelings i had about him one sunday morning.
i will tell him i knew he would bring us closer to Christ.
somehow i think he already knows all this. and it will be my privilege to remind him.
i have a really great reason for not being around my computer this weekend. my camera was busy at work taking pictures in our favorite retro town. more of that to come…
