Posts written between 2000 and 2008. IT WAS NEVER BORING! On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Sherry and I kept each other company outdoors while the boys, dressing the part when possible, were active as indians on the warpath or good guys in search of robbers. Kelsi and Sophia are affectionately known to us grandmas as Pete and Repeat. Whether it was the boys or the girls, however, where you found one, you found both. Bumper boats - Terry and Brandon.

Posts written between 2000 and 2008. By the time the chaos of Christmas was passed, Sophia looked like many of the adults felt. Dawn had battled a virus through the holidays and remembered little of Christmas Day. Both Sophia and Brandon coped with low-grade fevers, coughs and runny noses. Fortun- ately by the first of January, the ailing were recuperating, just in time for the next big celebrations. IT'S A SCOOBY DOO BIRTHDAY. Last year Spiderman was.

Therefore, once she got clearance from Matt that he would watch Brandon and Sophia while we were gone, I made reservations. PRE- AND POST-CRUISE ARRANGEMENTS. By arriving a day earlier, the Millennium had the island all to itself! When I became aware of this change, I contacted the concierge who called ...

Posts written between 2000 and 2008. 2003 - WINTER INTO SPRING. The holidays are past and a new year lies ahead. I look forward to watching Brandon as he makes the transition from toddler into a charming little boy. With my cameras close by, I hope to occasionally capture Brandon and Sophia in memorable moments. BRANDON'S THIRD BIRTHDAY - JANUARY 4. Brandon at Two Months. Sophia at Two Months. If one 'please' doesn't work, he'll string together several, each one more pleading and loud than the one before.
