Before we left I wanted to get a picture of Nicole with Adrian. We had such a fun time down there, and it was really nice to see Nicole again.  

Ok, everyone look at Adrian. Making sure Adrian was looking at the camera. Of course he was, but what about us? 

After going to the EMP we went back to Nicole's place to rest before we went back home. Here is M keeping Adrian up before we left, so he would sleep on the way back. 

Today we went down to Seattle to go visit Auntie Nicole and to see the Experience Music Project. Here is Adrian wearing an outfit from Uncle Brian & Aunt Kathy. I must say that he looks very sharp in it. 

Nap time for Dad And I. 

A partial smile from the boy. I'm sure there are more to come. He has become more smiles in the morning than in the evening.  

Here I am trying to get the cooking under control. Right after this picture the food got the upper hand, and I was covered in freshly made stove top macaroni and cheese. 

For some reason this shot makes him look really big. 

What your asleep again? He we are picnicing at Silver Lake. 

Here is my Mom and Dad with Silver Lake in the background. As you can see in this picture they are very happy. It was so nice to have them out here, being able to see them and to spend time with them. I've missed them alot recently, epecially when Adrian was born. My Mom was out here for two weeks and my Dad was only able to be out for three days. They left for the airport at 6:20 am this morning to fly back east to Maryland.

On Saturday M and I took my parents and Adrian up to Silver Lake off of Mount Baker Highway. It was still a little cool up there so we put Adiran into a new outfit so he could stay warm. So on this trip we had out own little traveling Gnome. 

Adrian was in for a check up today and he got wieghed and measured. He is now ___ lbs. 8oz., and 2_ 7/8 in. Can you fill in the blanks?

Who might this be? mmmmmmmm...... The stakes are still the same. 

Who is this? The winner will receive a picture of Adrian. Please post your guesses on the blog here. 

M and Adrian watching a really, really long train down at Boulevard Park on Sunday, Adrian's one month birthday. 

This is the flower arriangment I got for M on Valentine's Day. When I went in to place the order for this I told the woman there that I wanted to try to keep it somewhat small. When it came I was suprised to see how large it was. It's over two and a half feet tall and just shy of two feet wide. Next time I'll try to get one a little shorter. It's like when little kids show you how much they love you by spreading their arms all the way apart, and saying I love you thiiiissssss much. That's how much I love M thaaaaaattttt much. 

M, Adrian and myself with Grandmom taking the picture. A wonderful day in the neighborhood. 

Grandmom Orth, M and Adrian up on Sehome Hill the other day. 

Here is a better shot of the outfit with blue dinosaurs of various shapes and sizes, cute isn't it? 

Here is an oufit from our good friend Nancy and her daughter Hanna, that we got during Adrian's post baby shower.  

Something very interesting off camera. This is right before he got changed. The clam before the storm. 

Ok, now hand me the juggling balls. 

Someone is hungry. And M told me that I should smile in this picture. Now I feel a little bad about it. 

"No seriously, I meant to do that." 

Happy Valentine's Day! Our little love bug. 

Scattered Love Thoughts

What does Valentine's Day mean to you? To me it gives me even more reasons to love my wife. The woman who gave birth to a most beautiful boy. From far away and alone to being together, from the past onto the present, we're still together thru all this and 3,500 miles. A excerpt from a Valentine's Day Card I made for M shortly I had moved out here.

She is my best friend, the person who I can tell anything to and be told how wired I am. When I'm feeling bad or down, she's there to make me feel better with open arms and an open heart. When you love someone so much how can you begin to put into words the feelings that you have for them. It's almost impossible to do so. She inspires me to be a better person, human being and lover. I love her so very much.

Too many times people loose sight of what is really important in this world, ........... LOVE.

I hope everyone had a pleasant Day of Loving and enjoy the rest of the week.

That's all for now from the mind of Watsonholmes, Goodnight.
