Today I said to Elliot, “on average …” (What I was talking about is
not very interesting. Trust me.) Of course, Elliot immediately asked
what average is. It turns out that describing average to a four year
old is really hard.
My first inclination was to describe the function that is used to
calculate the arithmetic mean of […]
I am going to be at MountainWest RubyConf tomorrow and Saturday.
I looking forward to meeting and hanging out with lots of interesting
peoples in the Ruby community. Oh, and the
schedule looks very interesting.
Yesterday while Elliot, Audrey and I were walking through
DFW1 Elliot — he is 4 years old — asked me, “Where are
we going?”
“Concourse C, but I am not sure which gate yet2.”, I said.
“Daddy, is it C dot com or C and some other letters?”, Elliot asked in reply.
Which, I must say, is really a pretty […]
This weekend Elliot, Audrey and I and went for a hike on
Fowler Trail1. As always Elliot was playing with sticks
along the way. At some point he showed me a stick and said, “look
Daddy, it’s a gun”. I replied, “Oh, OK”. I am not a bit fan of gun
play, but I […]
On Saturday, after riding around with the other kids on our block for a bit, Elliot rode up to the porch and asked me, “make my bike into a two wheeler, please”. I happily obliged and since then he has spent every minute we will let him on his bicycle.
This is the second time […]
Today is Audrey’s second birthday. Catherine has the important stuff covered here so I will just say, happy birthday Audrey. Oh, and show you a cute picture of her opening her presents.
So said Elliot on the way home yesterday evening. And he was right.
We spent the morning at Boulder Reservoir for a company
picnic. The food and the band
were great. And the kids had a blast playing in the water, jumping in
the bouncy castle and riding the boats.1
One the way home we noticed that […]
For Labor Day we took the kids on a mini-vacation to Colorado Springs.
There are a lot of touristy things to do near Colorado Springs.
The first we went to Cave of the Winds. Cat and I enjoyed the
tour but Elliot thought was a little boring. He did find a quite few
a bits of it […]
It was a wonderful day. We did not have any big plans, so I got to
play with the kids around the house which was very nice.
Elliot and I went for a short bike ride on Big Dry Creek
Trail.
The
creek has water in this time of year and was very pretty. Elliot
especially likes […]
Audrey stood up all by herself for the first a week ago today. I was
brushing Elliot’s teeth and she was playing on the floor near by. When
I looked down I saw that she had pulled herself into a standing
position using Elliot’s stool. By Saturday, two days later, she was
pretty much standing all the […]
