the bench: May 2009
http://benchmason.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. Sorry, had to post this picture, taken with my phone today. Too cute. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Is that a great blog post title or what? Jack getting his diploma. Now he has a license to say he's sorry when he hits another kid. Singing songs of joy. Apparently, Jack's favorite letter is H. I don't know why. Halle pushing Aerin in the shopping cart. Gwen falling asleep in the chair. The kids at their picnic table. Wish I had a picnic table. Gwen, or as she is known down south, "Pepe".

the bench: Thanksgiving
http://benchmason.blogspot.com/2009/11/thanksgiving.html
Thursday, November 26, 2009. Well, the truth is, I forgot to get any pictures of the food. Not that people like to look at pictures of food, but Thanksgiving is one of the few holidays which seems to be centered around eating (Halloween and Valentine's Day being the others). But since everyone except Robyn, Keith and Ava were here, Greg took a bunch of pictures of people. So, here are some of them:. This is just the "snack" side of things. Hanging out after dinner. This is our house. Amy and Chuck Keeler.

the bench: April 2009

Thursday, April 30, 2009. Terrible People doing Terrible Things. Or Brothers and Sisters, where.ah, you know, it's not even worth it. But I watch snippets and think, how can these writers not see how the one normal, considerate, kind character they have, they try to make him look like a crazy greedy Republican whatever. It's just a little bit stomach turning. I'm such a killjoy. Sunday, April 26, 2009. Land of Time XLVII? What other industry is so resistant to their customers actually accessing. Here are...

the bench: December 2009

Saturday, December 12, 2009. Halle was super excited to have her family over for her party, including. Her cousin Ava, as well as. Her aunt Shelby, who likes to wrestle with Aerin. She was especially glad to get some presents. Apryl made this awesome cake, made up of a bunch of cupcakes. You can see the delicious, edible candles, with delicious edible flames. Wednesday, December 09, 2009. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Year of CrockPotting. Amanda and Stuart Mathews. Amy and Chuck Keeler.

the bench: June 2010
http://benchmason.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 12, 2010. Jack's Birthday and Such. Well, Jack "graduated" from kindergarten. Thank goodness he passed metalshop. Aerin was only there for the free cookies. Sometimes, not knowing how the hell to operate your camera can result in cool pictures. Gwen likes to sit with people like this, just sit and hold their ears. Drives Apryl crazy but Halle seems to like it. Jack wanted to go bowling for his birthday. He's really pretty good. Hooray, a spare! He also got a scooter, a Hot Wheels scooter.

the bench: August 2009
http://benchmason.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 20, 2009. Jack is a daredevil. He's really shy about people, but not about risking his body:. The kids wanted to go pick something, so we went to Roger's mom's house (Grandma Merrill, now), to pick some of her famous strawberries. These are the strawberries she uses to make her amazing, the-rest-of-your-life-will-seem-weak-by-comparison strawberry pie. We got some red potatoes too. Halle was pretty helpful with the strawberries. Jack mostly just looked and chased after this cat. This is ...

the bench: It's been a long time. A long time.
http://benchmason.blogspot.com/2010/03/its-been-long-time-long-time.html
Saturday, March 27, 2010. It's been a long time. A long time. But, we were outside today, all day, doing yardwork, which I hated when I was a kid/young adult, and now that I have a house, I still hate, but hate while doing. Anyway, to alleviate the drudgery, I took some pictures. I've always thought that my kids are much better looking outside, when the natural sunlight can interact with their eyes and such. Jack is a character. This is some version of Calvinball. Aerin knows kung fu. Amy and Chuck Keeler.

the bench: Recent pictures
http://benchmason.blogspot.com/2010/11/recent-pictures.html
Monday, November 01, 2010. So, I feel some responsibility to post pictures on this blog. You'll note that by "some" I mean "almost none", seeing as how I've posted, what, 3 times in the last year? I have put some on Facebook, haven't I? Plus, my phone has a few cool apps on it for cameras, that do these cool effects. So, gotta use those, right? We've use that Tiger costume now for three of them. Ok, see, this next one may seem repetitive, but that's such a Gwen face,. That I have to put it in.
