Dreaming of a white … Easter

by

A couple days ago we were basking in the warmth of three weeks of weather mostly in the 70s, warm, sunny days punctuated by a few thunderstorms here and there. We put away the winter clothing. Took the comforter off the bed.

Lawns were green. Trees had blossomed and now were leafing out in fast pursuit of summer. When the weather folk started talking Thursday about cold fronts and the chance of snow for the weekend, we thought it was a tasteless joke.

Can you believe it? It got cold Friday, and in the afternoon it started drizzling. Somewhere about 7:30 Saturday morning it started snowing. Big, gloppy snowflakes coming down think and fast enough you really didn’t want to drive anywhere. It’s supposed to warm up a little on Sunday, and then be back in the mid-70s by Tuesday. Go figure.

Alonzo Dziengel arrives

by

Ana and AlonzoHello world!
We couldn’t wait to announce the arrival of our son Alonzo Lawrence Dziengel, born April 1 at 5:53 AM.
Labor was quick (we barely made it to the hospital) and now we are all back home enjoying our new life together!
I want to send something more formal in the mail but lack of sleep and time means that will be arriving a little late……
JR and Alonzo You are welcome to come visit at home, just please give us a heads up first so we don’t interrupt feeding or sleepy time.
Love,
Ana, JR, and Alonzo

New photo gallery

zia-at-burningman2.jpgHey all, the Humboldt contingent has shared with us a selection of photos from 2006. They include some shots of Isaiah’s graduation, a family trip to Redding in the fall, and Zia’s adventure at Burning Man (pictured here). There’s also a few pictures from Atarah’s visit to Lubbock in 2006. Laura has some images of the new additions to her family, but she needs to tell us about them and upload the stuff herself.

Grandma’s Nano Phase

by

Ben is my witness. Grandma Nancy has entered her “Nano Phase.” This evening Ben managed to remove her Christmas Nano from its plastic sarcophagus in which Grandma had placed it for its own protection. But recently she had been unable to play music. The instrument seemed to be locked in a toggle status. Select an artist and click back to music. Select the artist. Back to music.

You understand, don’t you?

Well, Ben released the red Nano from its plastic case, and [Read more…]

Blizzard of ’07

by

Well, the weather people had so many folks in Lubbock riled up about a series of snow storms coming in that most of the schools closed, and many events around town were canceled. The weather service Thursday even said we had a 100% chance of snow. They were saying we would have overnight drizzle and freezing rain, then everything would start busting loose about 6 a.m.

There was panic buying in the stores. Well, this morning I picked up the paper out of the yard about 5:45 a.m. Dry as the leaves snuggled up against the garage. Started raining about 7 or 7:30. I’m getting ready to go to lunch now, still waiting for the blizzard.

Oh, well.
