This past Wednesday I decided it would be fun for us to get out of town for the weekend, so away to St. Louis (Aint Looooois as David says) we went. Jay and Katherine also came along with us, which was nice since we haven’t seen them too often of late.
We left Springfield Friday evening after work [...]

February 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments · General

Hammering!

This morning we were at Lowes and ran into the bi-monthly kids’ workshop in progress. They were putting together a smal tic-tac-toe toy and David was instantly hooked. Since they were wrapping up, we bought the smallest hammer we could find for him and took one of the kits home with us.
Later in the day after [...]

Back to 2 Cats
January 9th, 2010 · 5 Comments · General
The Johnson household is back to two cats. Today we went to Sangamon County Animal Control in hopes of finding a suitable kitten for our home, and brought home a fun little energetic boy.
David immediately started calling him Bottles for reasons unknown to us, so we figured we’d try that out as a name. Several [...]

January 6th, 2010 · Comments Off · General

Unlike many of the Kindle 2 and Kindle DX cases out on the market, Noreve has avoided the terrible hinge system for this case. Thank goodness, because the Amazon case with the [...]

Painting Project

This weekend I built the second step stool for David, this one for an upstairs bathroom.
I also got both sanded, primed, and covered in a coat or two of paint. One red, one white. The white was so we could turn David loose on it to make it his own. With Mom’s help, 30 minutes, and [...]

New Years Eve
December 31st, 2009 · 1 Comment · General
Here it is New Year’s Eve and David has come down with something. He’s just spending the day taking in medicine and an Imagination Movers marathon from the couch.
A far cry from the active little guy that was two days ago.
Christmas Preparations

David spent this Christmas Eve morning helping Mom make Santa’s cookies, and after a quick nap he’ll get to decorate them too.
He is pretty excited, even if he isn’t quite sure why. On more than one occasion he has run up to me saying “It’s Christmas!”
This is going to be fun
Update: decorating has [...]
