Father’s Day

Chris — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 22:40:21 +0000

Among other things, the best gift I received this father’s day was this.

I took Damien to the park, a 10 minute walk from where we are staying, and after playing around on the park for 10 minutes he ran up to me and said:

“I forgot to say Happy Father’s Day!” and gave me a hug.

Which wasn’t completely true as he had said “Happy Father’s Day” on more than one occasion.

He then started digging into his pocket and pulled out an individual Peanut Butter Cup mini for him and myself. Nicely squished and slightly melted.

I haven’t had a better tasting Peanut Butter Cup treat in my life.

If you haven’t seen, there’s been lots of videos and photos posted that don’t always make it on here. Follow the links below for the relevant updates in visual form.

Link to more videos on Youtube that will get updated fairly regularly.

And this group on Flickr won’t just have photos of the kids, but the majority of them will be.

Mason at 3.5 Months

We’ll have to sort out a new system here since obviously we can’t just post about Damien anymore, but in the meantime, here’s a quick little video of Mason at 3.5 months:

For a bit of reference, here’s some pics of Damien at around the same age. The video linked there isn’t on the internets anymore (we have it on our computer somewhere). Here’s a video of Damien at 5 months, which is where Mason is actually right now. Good to see the spastic flailing of arms that Mason has started to do runs in the family (and babies at that age.)

First Ride of 2010

It’s finally starting to warm up here and so Damien has pulled out the tricycle and is enjoying actually being able to peddle on his own this year (last fall he was still too short to properly push on the peddles):

Damien forgot to mention a certain cousin in his last video and decided to make up for it.

Sort of.

Damien’s Breakfast Dance Party

Chris — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:33:00 +0000

I’m not sure where this came from exactly other than to say that while we were house-sitting at friends of ours Damien decided getting up at 5:30 – 6am was a better idea than sleeping until 7ish.
