A Walk in the Park

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:56:55 -0500

Here are two fun videos to start the week nicely. The first I took right around Halloween, on the 27th I believe. Hazel is so adorable. This one is a little older, maybe mid-October. She's just happy when she wakes up from a good nap...

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:40:08 -0500

Oh yeah - this is what I was getting to in that last post. Duh! I am basically done with all the knitting I had planned for Christmas, which naturally means that I have tacked more on already. Here's what I have left (if I don't write this down ...

Fall in Clinton

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:59:13 -0400

A few more fall photos, this time from the village green in Clinton; these were extremely difficult to take, since I had a one-year-old who was kind of walking by herself (but not really, for whatever reason this morning) and a purse slung over my...

Outside Today

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:25:59 -0400

When I pick up Hazel on Mondays we always have about an hour to kill between then and when Amos is done at work. We usually spend that time pacing outside at SUNY while I hold Hazel's hand...today, she was running and walking all over without me!...

Hazel in the Kitchen

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:54:27 -0400

Two New iPhone Pictures

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:35:32 -0400

I took this picture last week; I had to walk over to the store, so I got Hazel all bundled up and we strolled over. After getting outside we realized that it was freezing - in the mid 30's - so we hurried! But this tree was so pretty, and so is ...

Tickling

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 17:31:08 -0400

Another video, taken last week, where I'm tickling Hazel. This was a brief respite in the middle of hell-week, which is my affectionate name for the week(s) she's cutting 2 teeth that refuse to break through the thin tissue of her gums. YAY. Bu...
