Nunquam Non Paratus


Woes of the Digital Dad



So true.. I hardly have any photos of myself with the kids.

Olympic Torch Run

Saturday morning we got the kids up early to go to town to see the Olympic Torch come through town. We were some of the hundreds to line the streets before dawn to see the torch on its way to Vancouver.

After lighting another torch and the singing of O Canada, the flame was on its way.

After all the excitement, we headed out for breakfast. And, as my wife puts it, in the true Olympic spirit of excellence and fitness, we went to Mc Donald's!

A Second Sunset

I'm one of those airline passengers who likes to sit by the window. I know, it's inconvenient, you have to crawl out over people to get out. But you can't take pictures out the window from the aisle seat. In 2008 I flew to England and wanted to get some pictures of a sunset over the north Atlantic, somewhere around Greenland.

It was somewhat surprising when the sun went down past what I thought was the horizon.

Welcome to the big 3, Adelaine

On the 28th, our little princess turned 3 years old!

It wasn't such a great day for us as we spent 3 hours at the hospital trying to diagnose a bad cough in all three kids. We did finally get out of there and made it home for supper, and a small birthday party. We plan to have a party with her friends sometime after the whole Christmas season is past - alas.. the down side of a late December birthday. Anyway, we did want to have a little celebration on the big day with Papa, Grandma and Uncle Dew.

After the birthday cupcakes it was apparently time for wrestling. This went on for quite awhile with many giggles and squeals.

All the commotion drew Ethan Buddy in to see what was going on, and despite being sick, he got in on the squishin' act.

Then it was time to get down to business: tearing paper. She gets lots of practice at tearing this time of year.

"A TUTU!!" I think she has about five tutus now, and wears at least one a day.

Here Adelaine receives yet another princess toy. We are suddenly swimming in princess paraphernalia around here, much to Adelaine's delight.

Happy birthday, our dear, sweat little Adelaine! Daddy and mommy love you so much.
