Boys will be Boys

Chad — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:54:52 +0000

It has been some time since we posted to this blog. Life has been busy to say the least! We’ve moved into our first house and Elisha has grown up – well almost. Elisha will be 3 in March with another boy coming in December. No doubt we will need to update this soon with pictures. In the meantime, I wanted to post an article I found today from James Dobson’s book Bringing Up Boys .

It is a reminder to me of the challenges boys face growing up in the world today and my role as a father in steering them through it. I am posting it more for my own reference, but it’s a good read if you have the time.

Kindermusik Class

We had signed Elisha up for Kindermusik classes because he seems to express an interest in music. He loves his class and the friends he meets.

Hmm … am I supposed to shake this or bite it?

What is that over there? Hm .. can I eat it?

Here are more pictures of Elisha when he was 8 months old. He’s just cruising away …

Do you like my Bunny Slippers?

The Grove

The Milk Mafia group went to the Grove last year to take pictures with Santa and also to hang out together. It was fun spending an afternoon shopping and eating at the Farmer’s Market.

I love this Reindeer outfit we got for Elisha last Christmas. Unfortunately, they grow up so fast and he can no longer wear it. Here are some pictures of him wearing it at play group.

Hmm .. am I Dasher, Cupid, Blitzen or Rudolph?

Elisha: “This is yummy!”

Kaitlin: “I’m going to try it too!”

Daddy’s Baby Clothes!

Susanna — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 02:00:20 +0000

I had to post these pictures of Elisha when he was 4 months old. We dressed him up in Chad’s baby clothes (which Chad’s mom had kept over the years and she sent them to us). It was fun to imagine Chad as a baby wearing them when he was Elisha’s age. Wished we had pictures of Chad wearing the same clothes though!!

Hmm … do I look like Daddy?

Me in my cute little outfit!

Last Christmas

Susanna — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 20:10:01 +0000

Last Christmas, Sabrina from the Milk Mafia group (we named ourselves that after the breasfeeding class) had a wonderful idea. She thought it would be fun to dress up all the kids in Reindeer, Santa Claus and Snowman outfits for a photo shoot (and then return them when we are done!). So we all came together one afternoon and had lots of fun taking pictures of the kiddos. However, it wasn’t an easy task getting them to pose together.

It’s Been A Long While …

Susanna — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 20:04:25 +0000

As you can see it’s been almost a year since we last posted pictures of Elisha and any updates of our lives. So, I figured it’s about time we do so. I’ll be back-dating myself and pick up from where we left off.

Found: One of a Kind Piece of Art

Chad — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:28:22 +0000

A friend of ours currently has possession of this painting but is willing to part with it for the Buy It Now price of $10,000. We feel this is much to low for this brilliant piece by a first-time artist. While still new in the artworld, this young man has shown promise with his first work using simply pen and ink

You can read the email from our friend:

Hi Chad/Hi Susanna,

I’m not sure if you guys are into art or paintings,
but I thought you might be interested in this piece of
art. This guy isn’t well known YET, but this is his
first painting. I don’t usually sell art. Most of
the time I just sell high end home audio equipment.
Please view the attached and let me know if you might
be interested in purchasing this.

If you want, I will sell it to you guys for a Buy It
Now price of $10,000.00. If you guys aren’t
interested in it, then that’s fine too. It’s no
problem. I’ll just list it on Ebay tomorrow night.
Please let me know if you’re interested. Thanks.

Mike

Walt Disney World Resort in 3D

Chad — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:43:05 +0000

“Walt Disney World® Resort in 3D” is an interactive, virtual resort completely recreated on Google Earth. The revolutionary project features 3D models of the resort’s four theme parks and over 20 resort hotels. Incredible in scope — containing more than 1,500 3D models — Walt Disney World® Resort in 3D is the most detailed 3D rendering undertaken on Google Earth™ to date.

This new digital adventure will also reinvent how Guests reserve vacations. Guests enter a virtual Earth from their computer and skydive into the resort. They click on attractions and hotels – all in 3D – and with the click of a mouse, connect directly to DisneyWorld.com to purchase tickets, make reservations and map out their vacation. It’s the next best thing to being there!
