Fun at the Great Escape

We had a chance to spend some time at the Great Escape with my Mother-In-Law’s company picnic on Sunday the 13th. Needless to say, Samantha thoroughly enjoyed herself and I think Daniel had a pretty good time, too. Below are some photos from throughout the day and a couple videos.

Relaxing on Memorial Day Weekend

Just a quick shot of Daniel and Great Papa up at camp in Galway… I think they’re having a good time relaxing.

And Daniel sure likes watermelon. To be fully truthful, he just plain likes food.

Happy Birthday, Daniel!

Since I apparently stink at doing anything in a timely fashion, this is a few days late. On the plus side, Daniel is now one year old, so at least he has no idea that I’m late.

He’s almost fully walking, trying to make with the words and generally getting into everything. Just about right ;-)

Here are some pics from his little party we had for the family this past weekend:

Kids Vids

Just a quick post to share some vids of the kids:

Happy Valentine’s Day

Since young Miss Samantha has been under the weather this weekend, we spent a quiet weekend on the couch. In the meantime, she did summon the energy to open a few Valentine’s Day gifts (not that she needed much encouragement… the word gift seems to be a magic cure for a headcold).

Daniel, on the other hand, was more interested in finding things to chew on. He did manage a few moments to grab a present, though.

Yep… She’s four.

Hard to believe, but my girl is 4 years old today. Everyone goes out of their way to tell new parents how fast time flies and that kids always grow up too quickly. Of course, new parents are too sleep deprived to really take that advice to heart.

Well, it’s true. Samantha is four, and I want to know just how the heck that happened right under my nose.

Here are some pix that Mommy took today at school while Samantha was performing the ‘Birthday Walk’.

Anyway… Happy Birthday, Samantha! Mommy and I hope your special day was the best Birthday you’ve had yet ;-)

Hugs

We’ve been taking many many photos with the new camera, so until I can get a whole bunch posted, here’s a cute one of the kids I thought I’d share:

This one is currently my computer desktop wallpaper :)

Merry Christmas! (and Happy Birthday to me!)

Merry Christmas to all! May Santa bring you everything you want tomorrow ;-)

I have already received an awesome gift for my birthday today from my co-workers… Dr Pepper made with REAL SUGAR CANE! I can’t wait to crack one of these open. In fact, as soon as I finish my coffee, I might need to start in on one of these!

Made with Sugar Cane... Epic Win!

The kids are learning how to make more noise at an exponential rate. The Bose QC2 headphones can’t keep up anymore ;-)
