A Whole New World

Life is really changing for Theo. Today he took his first bath sitting up and Mom was crazy enough to invite Jack (that is what happens when you are a single parent for a week!). Check out these great shots and videos. Theo loved it and so did Jack. It is a whole new world for little Theo.

New Blog Design

So about a month ago, my blog celebrated its birthday. As a belated present to OneThumbUpOneFootDown, I have given it a new design. I always love comments, but for some of the readers who are more technically challenged, I have now added buttons that you can just check to give your reactions on the posting. What do you think? Would love any feedback on the new design? Likes or Dislikes? Here's to another year of blogging....

Trip to Hartford

Jack, Theo, and I took a trip up to Hartford to help with one of the College's mission trips. I was even fortunate enough to get to help with an evangelistic talk to about 40 women on beauty which was fun and daunting at the same time. All together, it was a great trip. Here are some pictures of our trip - mainly from a trip to a nice park near Manchester.





Below is a video of Theo laughing. There was this little walking bridge that fell and made a loud banging noise when you walked across it. Theo loved it. Unfortunately, you can not hear Theo laughing due to the background noise (mainly Jack!), but if you persevere to the end of the video you will see a big cackle from Theo that is worth the wait. Enjoy.




And all good days at the park end like this....

Traffic Jam

On the way to Hartford this past Monday, we hit a a really bad traffic jam. Thankfully the boys just slept right through it. We went 1 mile in 40 minutes. I took a couple of pictures to pass the time. I particularly like the 40 MPH sign - if only we could get to 40 MPH, I would be happy; actually, I would even settle for 4 MPH at the time of this picture. How I wish I could have slept through the traffic jam!

When I am 64....

When I get older, losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me
a Valentine, Birthday greetings, bottle of wine

In answer to the Beatles' questions in their famous song, the answer is YES, we will be sending you a birthday greeting AND lots of love! Thanks for being such a great Dad and Grandad. Happy Birthday!
