then and now

July, 2007, Poland Hall at WKU:


Last week, here:

fall leaves

At the end clip, Mary was watching me finish raking..and playing peekabo by ducking below the window and popping back up :) Just missed it.

awesome autumn

Corrie weekend quotes

"See this big yellow leaf? I'm going to take it back outside.."
[you don't have to go outside Corrie; why don't you just put it in the trash?]
"But I think the other leaves will miss him!"

[when mom and dad were leaving for a dinner date]
"Oooohh I don't think I've ever gone on a date before!"

[out of nowhere, at dinner, after dad's long day of ultimate frisbee]
"I think I smell you, Dad!"

Mary and Johnny, part 2

In this clip, Mary can't get to Johnny so she gives up - almost. At the end is her version of the 'meow' that she often does to Johnny (he doesn't meow a lot, but when he does it's in a raspy voice. Just like Mary's impression).

Corrie story

In the bath tonight:

"Mom said I will keep getting bigger and when I get to be older I will be 18 years old and I will be thiiiss big* and then I can drive the car!"

*(gestures about 3 feet tall, which really is big because almost
everything she gestures for size is about 1/2" between her
thumb and forefinger)
