Dear Devin http://www.deardevin.com/ en-us 2008-06-22T20:52:22-05:00 Spreading your wings http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001087.html We had a fun weekend. Grand Haven on Friday for a couple of hours, which elicited a huge "I love the beach!" from you. Then the GR Flickr Group's picnic on Saturday morning. You met a few kiddos and... Lori 2008-06-22T20:52:22-05:00 Hard to get http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001084.html You played coy with several people this week. In the photo above, you were hiding from one of my fellow GR Flickr members, Dan, while we were at Festival. Well, you were hiding from ALL of them, but several... Lori 2008-06-11T21:50:00-05:00 The things people say http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001080.html You talked to the mirror last night. What you said was, "Are you copying me? Don't you copy me!" I originally intended this blog to not only give me an outlet for updating your doings, but also to talk... Lori 2008-06-03T22:03:24-05:00 Have I ever mentioned how much I love your smile? http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001079.html Well, it's always best for me to avoid trying to play catch-up here and to just go with what's happened recently. Because my brain doesn't really retain information for more than a few days! Tonight's funny/cute moments: After dinner... Lori 2008-06-01T20:05:16-05:00 That bottom lip http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001073.html I bet no one would guess from this smile how big of a pouty face you can put on. You've become fairly accomplished at it lately. I can relate. Who wants to hear "no" when they want something? Not... Lori 2008-05-14T10:32:51-05:00 Bikes and books http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001069.html We had a splendid weekend. The weather's been holding up for the most part. Saturday wasn't the best outdoor weather, but it was still doable for being outside now and again. And that's the best part of this time... Lori 2008-05-05T20:59:51-05:00 Worshipping the warm weather http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001067.html I have a good excuse for not posting as much this month. Two, actually! First you got sick for a few days, then I came down with bronchitis. So there you go for excuse number one. Secondly, we've been... Lori 2008-04-28T21:06:33-05:00 Daddy is appalled http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001061.html Daddy does not like shopping. One bit. He goes maybe once a year and buys two bags worth of stuff. A couple of shirts, some chinos and some jeans. (Although he buys socks, underwear and undershirts fairly regularly.) He'd... Lori 2008-04-14T21:15:49-05:00 The saga of sick days http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001057.html I love this photo. Makes me giggle. You so rarely willingly look at my camera and smile these days. Usually you just turn your head and grin at me wickedly, knowing you've foiled my efforts. I love this photo,... Lori 2008-03-31T16:24:10-05:00 Easter weekend fun http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001053.html Our quick trip to Chicago this weekend turned into a longer one when Daddy suggested we extend our stay so we could have at least one day of good weather. Friday's snow kind of jammed things up a bit,... Lori 2008-03-25T21:04:03-05:00 Life with a 4-year-old http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001050.html Well, the party was a success. You had a great time with your friends and you now have plenty of Lightning McQueen merchandise to amuse yourself with. As well as a nifty remote-controlled monster truck that came in the... Lori 2008-03-15T19:27:23-05:00 Tomorrow is the big day http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001046.html Your birthday is next week, but the party is tomorrow. You've been waiting for this moment for a few months. So it will be fun to watch you enjoying yourself. We're having it at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum.... Lori 2008-03-07T20:22:13-05:00 Mr. Determined http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001044.html If there's one thing we've learned about you over the past year, it's that you are very determined. One of the daycare teachers told me last summer that you were willful. They say that instead of stubborn these days... Lori 2008-03-03T21:53:37-05:00 The downs and the ups http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001041.html This week is calmer. Last week rattled me a bit, I'll admit. Two straight weeks of troubles at school. Going to pick you up and hearing about your misdeeds. I made Daddy pick you up last Thursday because I... Lori 2008-02-26T21:16:36-05:00 Hoopin' it http://www.deardevin.com/archives/001038.html This winter has been, well, wintry. But so wintry that we've had very few opportunities to get outside and enjoy it. Six more inches of snow tonight with temps in the single digits and wicked whipping winds. That does...
