Jonathan’s First Royals Game

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Jonathan, Mikaela

Jonathan went to his first baseball game last night, courtesy of cousins Carol & Craig Wilson (and the occasion of the birth of new cousin Gillian Wilson). And special thanks to Marcia and Larry for all of the help with the physical transfer of the tickets. We made it a family night at the baseball [...]

Memorial Day Weekend – Part Two

Posted by Aaron  Published in Mikaela

While Deb and Toine were in town, we had hoped that Toine would get a chance to take some portrait photos of the kids. Unfortunately, weather didn’t cooperate with our outdoor picture plans, and by the time we’d chosen an alternative, the kids were getting cranky. Portraits of Jonathan were hopeless – he refused to [...]

Memorial Day Weekend 2008 – Part One

Oy. Time to dig out the crib tent again.

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Jonathan, Mikaela

Remember this? That’s the picture I posted when, at 18 months, Mikaela started climbing out of her crib. Tomorrow, we’ll be digging it out and installing it on the crib again. Because tonight, at all of 17 months, Jonathan announced (with a crash) that he was a month ahead of his big sister in the [...]

The Magic Birthday Balloon Abides

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Jonathan

I’ve posted about the magic balloon before, most recently back on March 13th. It occurred to me to go ahead and snap another picture of it last night, so here you go – amazingly, it looks almost identical to the way it looked at the time of the initial magic balloon post all the way [...]

Aaron's Facebook Status

Aaron is not in the mood for wrestling with opposing counsel today, but if he's not going to cooperate on a depo date, doesn't really have much choice.

Aaron wants to know who the hell invited Monday?

(Updated 2 days, 19 hours, 9 minutes ago)

Aaron has been reassured that, despite the penchant for dressing up like a princess, Jonathan is ALL boy. After a big meal of Chinese food, he asked to be excused, followed by a HUGE belch. :-|.
