Congratulations to Uncle Brian for getting on the Rocketboom videoblog. Check out the Blog.

Happy Birthday Jack!

From Annaka and Ja...

I can't believe Jack is two years old today. He enjoyed his birthday celebration which involved making his own pizza, eating the train cake that mom made, and opening his presents. I am not sure if he appreciated the step-by-step instructions from his big sister on how to celebrate his birthday.

A Dad's Self-Portrait

Ok, enough pictures of kids. Here is a nice picture of me. Enjoy.

Note: These pictures were created using Uncle Brian's fancy macbook. For all you PC users, you don't know what you are missing. Just look at some of our other picture examples.

No I do it!

Jack is asserting his independence these days and will not let you help him with anything. His new favorite phrase is "No I do it!". This transformation occurred seemingly overnight. He will now not let you help him:

• Walk upstairs
• Walk downstairs
• Open any food packaging (as documented in the video above)
• Let you get him in the car seat
• Get his socks off
• Get his socks on
  

This is a good thing, but our family efficiency rating has declined...

Mission Possible : Another Geocaching Adventure

We went geocaching again this Saturday. It really was just an excuse to get outside and enjoy this nice "winter" weather. I actually remembered to bring the videocamera this time and was able to take enough footage to create a little movie. The music is cheese, but it was fun organizing the clips around the music.
