Weekend Fun

By
    Here, as promised, is what Joel, Ransom and I have done lately.  It's short and sweet, but that counts, right?  Both Saturday and Sunday, we went to the Detroit Zoo.  Saturday was Ransom's first visit!  He snoozed through most of it, naturally.  We particularly enjoyed the new Penguinarium!  The penguins would come out of the water and interact with you (through the glass, of course) if you held something up in front of their faces.  Talk about cute!  We had a ton of fun.  I love bringing our little buddy along everywhere we go!  (By the way, our little guy just turned three months old on Sunday!)
    After Saturday's jaunt, we stopped at a game store and bought a board game called "Pandemic".  It's a fun, cooperative style game, players against the board.  We're hoping to play it with some friends soon!
     In the spirit of a tradition called "Family Night" we've been thinking about starting, and in essence have started, we will want plenty of games handy.  Joel, Ransom and I have been enjoying such time with friends from church, whose first child is only a few months older than Ransom.  It's so nice living close together!
       Enjoy the pics!
 
Here's to Fun Weekends,
Joel & Heather

Birth Story

By
  I don't know when it happened exactly, but recently Little Man has turned into this light sleeper that wakes up every time he falls asleep on someone and needs to be put down.  Now that he's finally down for a nap, I can find a few minutes to write.  I hope?! ....     Anyway, for those of you who are curious, here's how Ransom's birth story goes.  His due date was on April 13th, buuuuut this being my first pregnancy, we were expecting him to be plenty late.  So April 13th came and went, but real labor started that Saturday, the 16th.  Joel was convinced this was the real thing, but I wasn't.  Actually, hours of labor passed before I was convinced  our baby was really coming that night!     Joel was an incredible help, and we really had the best birth team ever.  Some of the things my midwife had me do surprised me.  She let me know early on that I COULD try to make myself as comfortable as possible through the...

An Error of Comedies?

By
    Playing ring-around-the-phone-queue has never made my top-10 list of favorite activities.  Recently however, it proved somewhat humorous. Which is good, because playing secretary for upwards of an hour makes me pretty cranky.  It takes a lot of grit to run a household some times, you know?     Taking little thought as to the security of our bikes, stashed haphazardly in the basement storage area, we supposed they were fine; and if they weren't, well, we live an apartment life and have little space in which to finagle our belongings.  We were well aware that there have been a string of thefts in this complex, but didn't pay much mind since we both have minimalist tendencies and I needed a new bike anyway.  Sure enough, they disappeared from the basement.  "Lucky us" , we figured.   "Free disposal service!"  And I just have to say, the mental image that emerged of some stealthy burgler riding away on a weather-beaten mountain bik...

Unplugged

By
  My siblings, parents and I would load our luggage, kitchen sink  included, into the family van. We were excited to finally be on the road to visit Mom's side of the family in New York, which we did every so often. My Grammie has had a radio ever since I can remember, listening to it daily . The sound of the hymns and classical music would waft through the air like the scent of her freshly-baked cinnamon rolls, and I'm fairly certain the two would start waltzing. She has always been a huge role model for me, always thinking o f what kind things she could do for others, and hardly ever watch ing television but for the local evening news. He loves me.  ;)        Something Joel and I have been happily fascinated by lately is how much better our lives seem to be when we ignore most media. You may be wondering why we are back in the world of Facebook, and honestly, I think an explanation is in order. Although I believe absolute...
