Let’s go January 2013!
First, another apology for not staying on top of the blog. We’re sending out our GOLD MASTER CANDIDATE for the game I’m working on, so things should sort of slow down for a little bit, at least enough for me to be able to do this again. Maybe I could work out again too. ANYWAY… so here it is now September, and we’re going to talk about January. Let’s get a move on!
Alright, so… First things first, I forgot to mention that when we were at Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia’s, we also celebrated Nina’s birthday, again!
A pic of Nina about to make a wish with her birthday cake, on January 5th! Thanks guys! See this image larger.
January 9th, and we’ve returned from our Christmas adventure! Here Nina looks super cute in little pigtails! See this image larger.
January 10th, Ian and I share a quick hug during the bedtime routine. See this image larger.
January 11th, and Nina shows us the definition of hug-worthy. Wait, is that a word? See this image larger.
January 12th, Chef Nina prepares another culinary delight! See this image larger.
Check out Nina’s writing… mostly just zig-zags, but she’s getting there! See this image larger.
Peek-a-boo at the park! See this image larger.
Hugs are the best! See this image larger.
Mommy and Ian try out the slide! See this image larger.
Almost kicking Daddy’s camera out of his hands is always a good time! See this image larger.
Probably the last time you’ll see Nina squeeze into a baby swing? See this image larger.
Ian’s first attempt at using a real key in a real lock on a real door, I’d guess. See this image larger.
January 15th, Christmas casualties abound in our neighborhood. See this image larger.
When Ian’s mittens actually do make it home from Kindergarten, they reside here, in order to be dry by morning. If they’re really soaked, I have to turn them half inside-out and put them on the vent like bunny ears. See this image larger.
January 15th… with snow pants on, the boys looked like “Hans and Franz” from Saturday Night Live about twenty five years ago. So I made them flex, of course. See this image larger.
Ian and I at Chili’s. Possibly our last trip there ever. So much salt in that food, it honestly makes me a little ill. See this image larger.
Mommy and Nina, across the table… See this image larger.
…and say, who is that over there, but Max and Brandon! Hey guys! See this image larger.
Hot chocolate day in Mrs. Lanham’s class. Buckets of sugar for all the good boys and girls! See this image larger.
January 16th, and it was a “Doughnuts with Dad” day at Kindergarten! See this image larger.
They had a little choreographed number or two to thank the dads. I got one of them on video which I will share later. Very cute! See this image larger.
After seeing all of the little pieces of paper that said “My Dad is… Funny” I was figuring that Ian had followed suit with his friends… thus, when I saw his said that I was loving, it felt pretty darn good. See this image larger.
LOL. 15 years old? I wish! See this image larger.
He likes hot chocolate when “I am dun slddng.” See this image larger.
Guilty as charged! See this image larger.
This I just found sitting around at home somewhere… I must be doing something right. I feel like all I do is correct and raise my voice. See this image larger.
