Janie and Brian Mauter's web site
Hm. Either the camera or our computer ate our pictures. Sorry. I hate that we don’t have them. I think we only had pictures from this weekend. It was our first visit to the McWane Center, Brian cooks in his new (to him) dutch oven and Samantha’s new dress from MamaLinda. Oh well.

When we first walked in, there were lots of big kids, so we weren’t quite sure how Samantha would do. However, we quickly found the toddler area, and she had a blast. She got to practice climbing …

Read more →I was just thinking that we hadn’t posted any news in a while. Thanks for updating us, Brian. I must say, however, that the TiVo might have been on its last leg, but if our power didn’t keep going out, maybe it would’ve lasted longer. Does anyone else’s power go out all the time? Ugh – I don’t like Alabama Power. End …

I can get a new one pre-loaded with the TiVo software, or I can get a much bigger drive and a $20 install kit for about $90. OR, I can get a TiVo HD. The good …

While I was there, I asked if the doctor could look in her ears to make sure that the infection had gone away. Monday was Day 10 of the antibiotics. The right …

Read more →So, Samantha has been sick since the end of September. She’s had a runny nose and a cough that has not gone away. This led to an ear infection shortly before her birthday, which of course, may have led to the allergic reaction on her birthday from the penicillin. But, the runny nose and cough never went away. This past …
Read more →I think we can officially say that Samantha is walking now. It’s still not much, but it’s on her own, so I think it counts. She has lately taken a great interest in hide and seek. She especially loves to play around the ottoman. She can crawl behind it, through the tunnel (between the couch and the ottoman), surf …
