Giving Thanks in Ohio 2008, Part V

Yep, I’m still catching up with Thanksgiving! So many pictures! Now where were we? Oh yes, the evening of the 28th… It’s time to switch into some PJ’s! Ian on keyboards, Connor on vocals… singing his first platinum single “Who wants to be my girlfriend?” (I’ve got video of Connor performing this, which is certainly […]

Giving Thanks in Ohio 2008, Part IV

Ah finally the photoshoot… This is still the 28th, for the record. A moment of freedom before being posed… See this image larger. I think it was Melissa that came up with the idea of seeing how Ian liked this rocking pony. He loved it immediately. See this image larger. The winning shot as far […]

Giving Thanks in Ohio 2008, Part III

“I’m sorry to hear that Kermit, it is actually pretty easy being orange.” (This is from the 27th and should have been in last entry, technically.) See this image larger. The evening of the 28th… “If only there was something fun to do…” See this image larger. “WOOHOO! Something fun to do!!!” See this image […]

Giving Thanks in Ohio 2008, Part II

More stories, more stuff!!! November 27th, 2008! GOOOOO! “I hear reindeer hooves… and… DID YOU HEAR JINGLING? YOU CHECK YOUR WINDOW!” See this image larger. Ok so you’re probably wondering what this is all about. Kaylee has this toy, it is kind of like a really simplified tent… just two pieces of somewhat rigid fabric […]

Giving Thanks in Ohio 2008, Part I

On November 26th we drove on down to Ohio, with a car full of stuff and sleepy people. It was a fast trip this time, with little in the way of issues. (We’ll save those for the trip back to Michigan a few days after this entry…) Over our stay we had a great time, […]

It’s Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas

When Ian goes down for a nap, one of three things generally happens. The smartest thing that could happen is that Melissa and I would take a nap to try to get a fraction of the energy necessary to keep up with out child’s recharging batteries. Usually I decide to go play video games, or […]

Being a bad Da takes practice and excuses. Ian has always imitated my car’s engine while we’ve been in the car, and made the same noise with his little toy cars… he always tries to get in the driver’s seat when I pick him up from daycare and don’t directly place him in the baby […]

The Incident (and other stories)

Here’s a little something I call “the incident.” It occurred on November 11th… I happened to catch this on audio, but it doesn’t do it justice without a transcript and a bit more narration… Click here to hear the clip. And here’s what you’ll be hearing – Ian – “Mommy!” “Naaa.” (Ian hits Mama, not […]

Da’s B-day

Way back on November 2nd, yours truly got a little older, and had a great time doing it. Truly these are the best years of my life, and despite everything that’s wrong out in the world today, my little world within that world would be hard-pressed to be happier. I got this for my birthday […]

Random stuff

About a week ago he came out of a nap, but was apparently still tired… I sat down on the couch with Ian in a little bundle. He fell asleep in my arms — and it was as wonderful as when he was an infant, if not more so. About three days ago (the 5th) […]
