Adventures from Midway and Beyond. Wednesday, April 4, 2012. The Birth (the LONG version). 2272012 @ 8:15 am. 8 lbs 3 oz. So glad that is over, was the phrase that kept passing through my mind. So glad I am not pregnant, so glad the labor is over, so glad he is here safely. Second child's first few moments inn life and we are already slacking in the picture department. Stella adores little Axel. This is me, looking awesome in hospital garb, and eeling relieved. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Stratfords: January 2013

Adventures from Midway and Beyond. Sunday, January 27, 2013. Bali: The shortish version. We had to leave a day or two earlier than we had hoped to catch open flights back to the states. We spent a quick night in Hong Kong and made new friends with the Bentley's who very kindly put us up in their apartment near the airport for the 10 hours we were in town. Someday we hope to go back some day for a real stay. Yoga at the beach in Lembongon. Scooter ride around the island. More from the Monkey Forest. Adven...

The Stratfords: June 2011
http://calderandstarr.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Adventures from Midway and Beyond. Sunday, June 5, 2011. A tub full of cousins. This is one of my favorites. After dinner I noticed things were a little too quiet so I went downstairs to see what Stella and Lily were up to. Hanging out in the bathtub. Water running. Cause what else would you do when friends come over? Another favorite bathing moment. I came in from cooking dinner in the kitchen to find this one. Clothes, or no clothes, she loves a good tub.

The Stratfords: Halloweeeeeeeeeeeen
http://calderandstarr.blogspot.com/2013/02/halloweeeeeeeeeeeen.html
Adventures from Midway and Beyond. Sunday, February 10, 2013. We had a really fun Halloween. 1 Homestead Scarecrow contest. 2 Carving pumpkins with Ma. 3 Trick or treating. 4 Thanksgiving Point Pumpkin Festival. 2 Pumpkin Carving with Ma is always fun. Always the artist, she is good at making faces that fit the pumpkins, never afraid to dig in. Literally. Not so happy mermaid and lobster. February 10, 2013 at 10:16 PM.

The Stratfords: March 2011
http://calderandstarr.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Adventures from Midway and Beyond. Sunday, March 20, 2011. House Update (because I know you've been waiting). I finally feel like we are on the home stretch. But time is relative, right? Looking north down the stairs. Calder taking a breather- probably talking house stuff, which doesn't really make it a break- with someone on the phone. Looking west from the kitchen to the cabin through the breezeway. She may be little but she sure takes up a lot of room in bed. Playing on Grandma's piano. A long-overdue...

The Stratfords: Happy Little Buddy
http://calderandstarr.blogspot.com/2013/02/happy-little-buddy.html
Adventures from Midway and Beyond. Sunday, February 10, 2013. Happy with a spoon. Happy with Laurie in a backpack. Happy after eating Stellas leftover donut. Happy with Calder at the Olpins. Happily sleeping in the jumper. Happily wearing Stellas headband, courtesy of Stella. Happy wearing nothing but a diaper, shoes, and a hat. Happy posing for the camera. Happy trying to get me to smile at him. Happy in a sweater with rosy cheeks. February 10, 2013 at 10:13 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Stratfords: November 2010
http://calderandstarr.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Adventures from Midway and Beyond. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. If you ask me, I think it looks pretty great. These pics are pre-snow, but it the current status looks pretty similar, only covered in white fluffy stuff. Once the window company gets its act together and gets us the rest of the windows Calder can start warming his hands while he gets to work on the inside. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Adventures from Midway and Beyond. Sunday, February 10, 2013. Stella loves her brother and he adores her. Most of the time. At least for now. And I love it. What more could a mother want? That picture of Stella and Axel in the swing is really funny. Im glad to see that Axel is wearing that 3form onesie. I need to hang out with those two more. February 10, 2013 at 11:00 PM.

Adventures from Midway and Beyond. Wednesday, January 11, 2012. The Midway Stratfords captured on film. Once again Sally Stratford Deford is responsible for some beautiful documentation. I copied and pasted the pictures here. But you can see her original post here. And you can see some great pictures of Stella here. I love having a real photographer in the family! What an awesome Christmas present. THANK YOU SALLY! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Back when we were kids. Axel says (or does).

The Stratfords: Spontaneity
http://calderandstarr.blogspot.com/2013/02/sponteneity.html
Adventures from Midway and Beyond. Sunday, February 10, 2013. My mom called Saturday morning. Russ and Silvia are going to the Nuevo Vallarta house. Do you want to go? It was -18 when I drove to the airport. 80 when we landed in Puerto Vallarta. I couldn't complain about the cloudy weather when at home it was one of the coldest weeks on record. Thank you Russ and Silvia. It was amazing. I need to be more available for calls from Russ and Sylvia. February 10, 2013 at 11:23 PM. Back when we were kids.
