Fawn Island, May 22 Trip, Part III

On the 25th, there was a final boat ride and if I’m remembering my days correctly, we had some excellent waffles… Grandma Marcia cooked all kinds of great stuff over the weekend, I should really learn to take a picture or two around meal time, but it is always the last thing on my mind […]

Fawn Island, May 22 Trip, Part II

The 24th and there was fun to be had! Ian really enjoyed “playing nn uh mats.” These cool mini mats with the alphabet cut into them like puzzle-pieces were a big hit with the little man! See this image larger. “C” is for “child emergency exit.” See this image larger. The sideways “Z” looked better […]

Fawn Island, May 22 Trip, Part I

So the day after Melissa got home, Ian awoke to see his Mommy through his bleary eyes and that all was right again in the world. Then we packed up and headed off to Canada! On the way there was one close call traffic-wise wherein a car cut me off and I was forced to […]

Help!!!

Hi everybody! If you come to the blog often and watch videos, please take a moment to help me test the following video player at this link: Click here to try it! Now you should be able to see that it is loading because there will be diagonal stripes animated in a bar on the […]

The Artist at Work

EDIT – Wanted to catalog a couple cool things he’s said recently before I forget. He pointed at a dog on the side of his toy truck, and a jet on different picture and said “Doggie go on plane n go away way up inna sky.” That’s pretty much Ian making up a story right […]

Mommy’s Home!

So Melissa has returned safely to the nest, and everything is sorta back to normal! Yay! Here’s a pic of Ian from yesterday… He’s seen enough golf to know to shoot the ball toward the flag… in this case a utility marking flag makes a perfect Ian-sized target! See this image larger.

Mister Mom, Thursday Edition

@Melissa – 9:19AM – He either slept very well last night or I slept so well that he didn’t wake me up more than once, at 6am. I’m pretty sure he slept well, probably to make up for the night before. This is the first morning where Ian woke up and called for “Daddy.” Drop-off […]

Mister Mom, Wednesday Edition

@Melissa 8:43am – Not a whole lot of sleepin’ went on last night, unfortunately. He was restless, and so was the cat. When I told him we were going to school he said “No….” and looked sad. (I smiled and thought “awww he wants to be with Daddy!”) “…breakfast.” he continued. Cereal bar for the […]

Mister Mom, Tuesday Edition

@Melissa 9:06am – He woke up fine, got dressed fine, hopped in my car fine (I realized on the way home that, by Ian’s logic, Daddy’s car RARELY ends up at daycare… it only drives home and to cool parks and playgrounds… thus insisting on Daddy’s car will most likely result in a non-daycare day.) […]

May Catch-Up, Part IV

@Melissa 10:07am – Good mornin, Sweetie! Last night I thought I heard the sound of dripping water in our room, and listened around… it turned out to be a watch of yours, in our cubbie, just ticking away like it is supposed to… that’s how quiet the house is! :\ Ian woke up at 7:15 […]
