Last night a delightful film from my childhood resurfaced, “The Scarlet Pimpernel.”
Lizzy and I used to watch this film over and over when we were kids. We used to be able to…
We love visitors. →
{Let the backtracking begin} Grammie and Papa came to visit! There was a Larsen family reunion, and we were more than happy to host our Arizona visitors. Papa had a great time fishing while Grammie,…
Need some input →
Hi folks, this is Adam. I hope Marie doesn’t mind too much that I hijack the blog to mix in some business.
Just need to decide on a look for TimePoke, a time utility, and on a blog theme for my…
Not. Funny. →
I’ve been reluctant to post during the last week as I’m not feeling very jovial. A few less than happy things have happened during the last week. 1) I was at a friend’s house until late on…
Nature's miracle: please work! →
A few weeks back, I promised myself that I would blog three minutes per day. That seems so do-able. Still, I don’t get it done. Why? Well, for instance, last week Brad was in Panama and…

I’m way behind on blogging. I’ve been using moving as an excuse, but really… it’s time for me to get back on the wagon. We are finally in our new house, and while we are not quite all the way…
Friends and coworkers →
During the last 8 years with my current company I have met some amazing women. Some who I hit it off with immediately, some who I was friends with instantly, and others who I never became very…
My last lecture....? →
I’m reading Randy Pausch’s “Last Lecture” book, and find it quite interesting. At the same time, it generally strikes me as being “worldly”. He seems to be a great guy; successful, happy, loving…
Okay, I think you've waited long enough. →
Problem: I take way too many pictures and I have serious issues just choosing one or two to share with you. I happen to think that Harrison is the cutest 16 month old on the face of the planet, and…
The Good Ol' US of A →
I freely admit that I am a huge nerd. I love to listen to NPR and I’m a big fan of PBS as well. Last night, I was pretty fried after work and so I went home and did the dishes and made dinner…
Hello? Hello? Is anyone home? →
Nope.
Brad is in Honduras, Adam, Marie, Spencer and Emma are at the Cummings playing Mom and Dad while Mom and Dad Cummings are away. That leaves lil’ ol’ Laura and Valerie at home. Just two people….
September means school days... →
I love Jaxson. I really do. But some days, I think I’d like to give him away. Jaxson has been “patiently” awaiting the arrival of first grade. I say it tounge in cheek because he has been asking…
Sunshine, lollypops →
For pretty much the last 10 days I’ve felt semi-depressed. I spent most of Labor Day weekend sick with a wonderful cold (but tried to enjoy the ranch anyway). The weather has started to…
Celebrating Spencer! →

This is the month of Spencer, as celebrated by Valerie and anyone else who wants to join in. This is one sweet boy, topped off by his…

Look at those baby faces! I wonder what we would have thought that day if we had seen where our lives…
September already?! →
Lucketts Fair, Grandpa left (waaah!), Busch Gardens, Katie left (boo hoo!), school supply shopping, gym workouts. Ok, now I’m caught up; I can move on.
Laura started tenth grade today. Does that seem…
