Yoda


Just thought some of you might not have seen our awesome dog. So may I introduce Master Yoda Douglas. He is now 2 years old. Happy Birthday and may your secret - and not so secret birthday wishes (fatherhood) come true. We are working on it!

Going Blind?


Today I went in to get a new driver's licence. After presenting an enormous amount of paperwork I took the vision test. I read the third line as requested, then the guy said - read the rest. Honestly I didn't even see the last part of the line to read. I am that blind in my right eye! The last whole section was not even visible until I looked harder. Then I tried to read it and he said- "I think you need your glasses". Wow! Am I already so old that I have to wear glasses to drive? The answer is an unfortunate yes. Good thing we have vision coverage now. Hope you all like my new look!

Big Girl Bed


This has been a bit of a struggle, but C seems to be adapting ok. Bedtime is not as smooth, but H has been a big helper often "snuggling" C when she is having a hard time. The photo with the book is her first night in the big girl bed - the photo was not set up - this is acutally how I found her.

Potty Time


Here is the success I described. Sorry if you are grossed out, but as you can see C is very proud of herself.

Face of an Angel




Sometimes I catch C in just the right mood in photos. These are a few I took recently.

Home




Here is what we call home. The kids like the rocks in the back the best. H spends a lot of time climbing them - his own personal rock wall.

Saying goodbye to family





So in preparation for our move we said goodbye - temporarily - to family. Here are some photos.
