This Wednesday, Miranda thought it a good idea for the boys to do painting, Laura agreed, and indeed it was. They had a great time. The first bit of fun was putting Enric’s old shirts on inside out to protect their clothes. They ran around the house just enjoying the...
A trip to the mall with my children is usually a triangle stop of just a few stores. Going with Silas means a different set of stops. Like the rides! I am also appreciating the camera in my Samsung Impression phone!
Wednesdays at our house these days, means the pitter patter of little feet. Silas is now living here and weekly has a buddy to play with as Laura babysits Cameron. The two boys are getting along great. Silas here reads a book while Cameron focused on the beach ball. Silas...
Silas showed us how short a child’s attention span can be today. He saw his daddy pull into the driveway, got all excited about greeting him, nearly hurt himself in his anxiousness to meet him at the doorway, goes running to greet him, Enric puts his bottled water down on...
I rarely get my precious children all in one place. Enric and Miranda’s last day here, we had fun on the front lawn, and they let me take as many photos as I wanted. A lot of sillyness, but a lot of fun.
While Enric, Miranda, and Silas were here, Miquel had to work odd hours and go to school. Miquel didn’t get to see them all he wanted. Miquel loves children and they seem to love him. So how much more is how he loves Silas. But gee, this is what happens...
Needless to say, while Silas was here, our baby kitty was quite a hit. What was cute was he would call our older cat, Dante, “Big”, and he would call our new addition, Jasper, “Small”. Later, as Laura couldn’t find the baby kitty and she was calling him, “Jaaaaaaaaaaasper” Silas...
While Enric, Miranda, and Silas is here, my sister and family brought Aiden and Conner for a visit. Conner got to know the new baby kitty. Silas and the boys had some fun at the pool. Conner and Aiden got to help feed baby kitty Jasper. Jasper is growing up...
Our barn where we store things is out of control. It has stored lawn items, old toys, furniture, books, electronics, and the list could go on. It has long been Miranda’s desire to have that straightened and cleaned out. (Mine too, but it’s too overwhelming a task to do alone,...
Avalon Area of Patapsco State Park that is. Enric, Miranda, and Silas are still in town. Enric and Miquel decided to go mountain biking and Miranda and Laura went hiking. I got to spend some time with Silas. Silas climbed mountains at the playground there. Here, I show off my...
Still more summer fun with Enric, Miranda, and Silas! Yaya took Silas for a spin around the yard in a wagon. Enric and Miranda enjoyed the pool. (Too cold for Silas). Enric and Laura went to the park to play tennis, meanwhile Miranda and Silas went to the playground. I...
Saturday I called Enric, and in my own way asked him if he, Miranda, and Silas wanted to come here for awhile. Here it is Monday, and they are here! We are looking forward to about a week of their company! Here is our precious Silas! I think I am...
Don’t I have a talented grandson? What a surprise to receive artwork by Silas in the mail! Very thoughtful! Shows a lot of flair no? Link to Silas’s FIRST masterpiece.
I don’t get to see, hug, and kiss, Silas as much as I like…sooo Imagine my happiness when the mail arrived with some love from Silas to remind me I was thought of!! Isn’t he so talented? A natural!
Ok, it’s been a few weeks since Enric, Miranda, and Silas left… …but I’ve been wondering if they didn’t leave us a little something extra for Christmas? I’ve spotted a few of these little fellas… This ladybug species was purposely introduced into the U.S. from Asia in the latter half...
Our holidays with Enric, Miranda, and Silas took on an Aussie flavor, when Enric took the challenge of playing the digeridoo John sent to Miquel some Christmases ago. Enric had so much fun with it, I almost hated to see him leave it behind….
While Enric, Miranda, and Silas were here, we got to have some fun watching the Raven’s Game. Most dressed up for the occasion! Silas started the spirit off with bell ringing… My sons… Wish they could do this more often! Laura, poses with her brothers. Miranda dons a hat and...
While Enric, Miranda, and Silas were here we couldn’t resist to have an early Christmas. After all, it’s a season, not just a day to me. Â Â
Basically, the following is how NOT to photograph your family’s Christmas portrait. Silas was so wiggly!
As an extra pre Christmas treat, I took everyone to La Tasca, located in Baltimore’s inner harbor. Around the holidays, my children grew up enjoying tapas, and I wanted to continue the tradition since we were all together. Silas was seated and looked ready for some different things to enjoy....
As a Christmas present to my mom, my children, and myself, I flew Enric, Miranda, and Silas in from Wisconsin to visit us! Silas is getting so big! Enric tinkered around the house and car to check things out that aren’t working 100% or at all. 🙂 Miranda and Silas
“Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children’s eyes.”Lawana Blackwell, The Courtship of the Vicar’s Daughter, 1998 Miranda posted this image of Enric and Silas from a recent outing they had. I thought some might like to see how Silas is growing.
Miranda is so thoughtful…and clever! She thought of a cute way to show how Silas is growing by taking his photo each month next to a pillow in their green living room chair. Has it been a half of a year already? Here is our little Silas, now 6 months...
“Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice” I couldn’t resist sharing this photo Miranda took. Silas is getting so big. I just love how he is looking up to Enric in this picture. It would be great if he played...
When I was growing up, there were many posters and sayings that began with “Happiness is…” Remember those? Lately I’ve been thinking that happiness is your grandson fast asleep in your bed. 🙂
Miranda and Enric have internet now, and one of the benefits to me will be getting more photos of the baby! Soooooooo….Here is a new Silas update. He is getting so round and handsome!
Our family went to Wisconsin to see the newest addition to the family. Baby Silas is so sweet and precious! Likely I will be saying more about our time in Wisconsin over the next days or weeks, but I thought I had better rush out an update to anyone...
Baby Silas. Funny how one day you’re Enric and Miranda, and the next you’re “Silas’s Parents” 🙂 Miranda just sent me the first photos of Baby Silas! Isn’t that the most precious face ever??
The Lord has blessed Enric and Miranda with a precious baby boy! A few weeks early, but parents and baby are fine! Silas Keith October 5, 2007 6.6lbs 20 inches 5:30 PM
Enric and Miranda have sent me the first baby pics! Needless to say I was overcome with emotion! It’s obvious that the child is very special, already waving and loaded with personality!
and...
