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 […]
Things have been a little quiet around here lately because my life has
gotten a little busy.
We close on our new
house
on Friday and we close on our current house the middle of next month.
Fortunately, that gives us a couple of weeks to move. The new house
is a bit less characterful than we had hoped we […]
The other day Elliot and I were at the dinosaur play
area at
FlatIron Crossing
Mall1 and
Elliot started playing imaginary ball. He grabbed my hand and pulled
me 6 or so feet and pointed at the empty floor and said, “the ball is
right there.” It took a couple of tries on his part because his
enunciation was not […]
My beautiful wife Catherine has started
blogging. So far it is
mostly about our children. For example, in Parenthood, part
XXVII
“It goes without saying - but, don’t let Elliot lick his underwear.”
But in addition to being a nearly perfect mother Catherine is also an extremely
talented database architect so you might see a few technical […]
Have I mentioned lately that I hate house shopping. Actually, maybe
it is house selling I hate. Either way I will be very, very, very
happy when this moving thing is over.
Our second potential house feel through other the week-end. It was a
plain house that backed to a nice park in the burbs. […]
