Maralise vs. The Flying Turtle

Adrian & The Flying Turtle

12 Days

Coming up in a week my mom and dad are coming out for about 12 days. Fortunately they'll be out here for Adrian's third birthday which will be nice. This year we're planning to have a low key party for the A man having, but the best laid plans...... One can hope. We're looking forward to seeing my parents; it's been about seven months since our trip to Maryland and since they've seen Adrian. Thsi time they'll be flying into Bellingham and not Seatac, so no 2 hour drive after a 8 hour flight just a 15 min drive instead.

Happy New Year!!!

Last night M and I let the rest of the world celebrate the ringing in of the new year for us. We slept. M is sick and I was tired from working all day. I hope our friends and family had a fun time and enjoyed the evening. M, Adrian, and myself wish everyone the very best in this new year and hope it's even better than last year.

More Christmas Photos

This is Adrians new wagon, he spent most of the last few days going in and out of it. He would move it to one side of the apartment and then back agian.
Adrian is holding his new favorite gift. It's his own digital camera, if you look closely you can see that it has two view finders instead of one. That's so it's easier for him to see what he is taking a picture of. The camera also has a LCD screen on the back so you can view previously taken pictures, access the menu and so on. M put a link to Adrian's photo page so anyone can check out his shots.
For those that did not hear, M was starting what would be a so far eight day long flu and secondary infection epic. For Christmas some one gave her the flu, so by the middle of the day as you can see here she was out like a light. She is still feeling pretty rotten, but hopefully she will start feeling better soon. Especially beacause she needs to be at work on Thursday.

Updates, finally....

Here M helps opens what would be the first of many, many gifts for Adrian on christmas.
Here he plays with two presents from my Uncle Bruce & Aunt Irene. When you bash the toys togeather they make crash noises.
Adrian hiding under a blanket M got for him. Behind Adrian you can make out the giant stack of presents that was under the tree that day. We had to spread them out through the day, opening up a few every couple of hours. I think the last one was opended around 5:00 pm.
