Take the fun
Family News (0)
Cael has of late been getting a little more philosophical in his views on waiting and patience. This is a huge change for a 4 year old who until recently could become impatient in mid-jump waiting to hit the ground again. His new zen-like state of existence can best be summed up by his recent thoughts on driving to Arnprior: "Mom, I don't take the drive, I just take the fun." Now if that kid doesn't have it figured out, I don't know who does.

Nikki found her prince
Family News (0)
Looks like Nikki upgraded husbands on the weekend, I'm no longer the object of her affection, instead replaced by this impossibly cute toad. Who can compete with that? Although she does look at tad unhinged there...

Rock Band
Family News, Tech (0)
We spent some time at Mom's trailer this weekend and had a good time in spite of the rain, maybe due to the fact that we were lucky enough to be able to play Rock Band when the rain did come down. Just ask Nikki how long I have been whining about this, she will tell you. Well I have never played until now and with the help of some helpful cousins the lads and I were rocking out with, um varying degrees of success. It's the best family game I could imagine. Maybe Santa will provide this year? Here's a ...

3am huh?
Family News, Stupidity (0)
The body rebells more and more against late nights as I age. 3am is not nearly as fun the next day as it used to be. Still a late night jam session is good for the soul once in a while. For instance, Nikki enjoyed her cereal as I (ahem) made some lunch for me and the boys.

For the ladies…
Family News (1)
This morning I was getting ready for work and Cael was buzzing around as he usually does in the early, early morning. I had showered and he watched me shave with the usual barrage of questions. Then he asked to get his hair done and I obliged, lots of gel and hair spray, just the way he likes it. I then offered him some "colomb" (that's the way he pronounces cologne at the moment), which he also likes. I put some on too and he asked: "Dad, why do you wear colomb? Is it for the ladies?" I responded "No, I wear ...

That’s Sir Bam Bam to you
Family News (1)
It seems that our most casual observations may be gaining some authority. Nikki was messing around with a height predictor on Babycenter.com, and it seems we may have a problem. This little doodad takes the child's current age, height and weight, the parent's height and give a prediction of just how tall your kid might grow. Quinn slots in at a "carbon copy of me" 6 feet. Jordy is going to be more or less exactly Nikki's 5'5". Cael on the other hand, seems to be a bit of a problem. It seems that the good folks at Babycenter think Cael ...
