I got out the My Little Ponies castle and all the ponies, and what

all the holes.
Gotta make sure it's working!

Happy New Year!

2011-12-15T17:48:00.001-07:00

I'm happy to see that Myles recognizes the toughness and coolness of Her Highness.

He spent the rest of the evening referring to me as "Han" and calling me a "scruffy-looking nerf-herder."

Rosie got in on the action too! Since she can't talk, she can't really tell us what character she was, but I guess it was on the Dark Side, given the resulting light saber duel:

Thanksgiving

2011-11-26T09:36:00.001-07:00

Happy Thanksgiving!

2011-11-25T15:22:00.001-07:00

We celebrated our Thanksgiving with my family again this year, and it was wonderful as always. The kids were stellar, especially considering they were the only two kids in a houseful of adults for 6 hours.

Myles is into Star Wars right now, and you can only imagine his surprise when he discovered that my cousin John had a "real" lightsaber!

And then my cousin David took him outside for some fencing lessons and proceeded to have most of his body parts lopped off!(Note that Myles has lost his hand a la Luke Skywalker, but NOBODY could ever get him to lose more than that!)

And Rosie was her usual upbeat self, waving to all of her various relatives and singing them songs.

It was a wonderful time all around and I'm happy to have the family--both immediate and extended--that I do.

With the stomach bug in the house I have been wiping down surfaces a
lot. Clearly Rosie figured out the routine. As I was helping Myles
wash up after using the restroom, Rosie crawled over, pulled off a
couple toilet paper squares, and started wiping off the the toilet. 9
months and already offering to help. What a dear!

2011-11-09T15:52:00.001-07:00

So Myles asked for his wallet today. He asked to go to Costco to get a
hot dog. He ordered exactly what he wanted. He gave the clerk money,
got his change, and cried when the clerk handed him an empty cup. Poor
Myles. I guess he didn't understand fountain drinks.

Now
We are sitting at a table- at Myles's request. So grown up.

Myles picked this out

2011-10-23T08:57:00.001-06:00

Says it is her princess Leia costume.

I found Myles holding Rosie

2011-10-23T08:45:00.001-06:00

and whispering to her, "don't worry baby, brother has got you." over
and over. I just listened for a minute before taking this shot. It
was a good feeling. The flower?!? Well Myles "just loves" this flower
on his sister.

Myles insisted his sister have...

2011-10-22T18:30:00.001-06:00

This beautiful hat.

Do I look like Barack Obama?

2011-10-12T11:58:00.001-06:00

Way cool. Disney Magic at its finest--all the floats were in sync,
even though they were playing different songs!
Spooky and fantastical all at once!

We will remember being a surviver of the rainstorm of 011
It was amazing-- a true 100 year storm.

Headed home

2011-10-12T08:54:00.001-06:00

Today went to pick up final rations at the camp store. While i was
checking out Myles set about a dozen Mickey themed timers to go off
simultaneously 20 mins later. My son, who has been a total angel for
our entire trip, was only caught when mason heard him snickering. Time
to go home.

Truth is Rosie loved loved loved our trip. Never too young or too old.

2011-10-11T15:20:00.000-06:00

Rosie loved the splash pads. Kids from all over the world played

Rollerskating Party!

2011-09-19T12:52:00.000-06:00

I just finally pulled some stuff off of my phone, and here's a little footage of Myles rockin' at his friend's rollerskating birthday party a few weeks back.

Justin Bieber's on, what better way to roll?

Killing some time with a little dancing while he waits for the guy to redeem his tickets. This is just the tail end; I wish I'd caught the whole dance.

Hitting the the skating rink was such a blast from the past! This is the same rink that Allyson used to hang out in as a little girl, and she says it hasn't changed a bit. I believe it.

And I discovered that I'm no better at turning right than I ever was. I always sit out the "reverse skate" sessions to avoid hurting anybody.
