P365 DAY 363 – DECEMBER 29th 2008

So we bought Samuel this fun wooden bead toy from Ikea – mainly because he has one at daycare and he loves it. What we have discovered however is that he loves paper and packaging a lot more. Now that he manages to pull himself around the floor, he is able to spot a lone [...]

P365 DAY 362 – DECEMBER 28th 2008

Getting stuck under furniture. One of the downsides of becoming more mobile. The upside? He manages to clean up some of the dust bunnies that have collected under the couch.

P365 DAY 361 – DECEMBER 27th 2008

The big thaw. It’s amazing how much this stuff melts when the temperature rises a few degrees. And it’s amazing how much of a mess it makes.
It’s nice to be able to drive again, although getting in and out of our street was still a little difficult thanks to piles of snow pushed into the [...]

P365 DAY 360 – DECEMBER 26th 2008

We’re in post Christmas wind down. Which means playing with the new toys and lots of cleaning up. Kei took this photo of Thomas trying out the Wii Fit. It’s a little advanced for him but I try to help by moving his body around. Apparently the photo of me trying to help him hula [...]

P365 DAY 359 – DECEMBER 25th 2008

I didn’t take many photos Christmas day. I suppose I became too caught up in the excitement of opening presents (so many presents) and really enjoying the day to take any photos.
It was just the four of us this year which was nice and quiet. A little sad to be so far from home but [...]

P365 DAY 358 – DECEMBER 24th 2008

Christmas Eve and Thomas was responsible for leaving a snack out for Santa – cookies, brownies that we made a couple of days ago, a cup of milk and a beer. The beer is an Australian tradition that we started this year, inspired in part by An Aussie Night Before Christmas and also by the [...]

P365 DAY 357 – DECEMBER 23rd 2008

Day nine of this winter storm and it’s really starting to get old now. I’ve been watching the weather report – which isn’t difficult since the news channels are covering the storm 24/7 – and it seemed that Tuesday was going to provide a brief break in the weather. So Thomas and I joined our [...]

P365 DAY 356 – DECEMBER 22nd 2008

Life as we know it is over.

Kei and I have been moving things to higher ground all week and are amazed at how Samuel manages to make his way to the ONE thing we don’t want him to touch in any room.

P365 DAY 355 – DECEMBER 21ST 2008

Day seven and the snow is starting to get old. Now there’s ice on top of the snow. Sure, it looks pretty but it’s really not very practical for driving. Walking is not too bad. Thomas and I walked a couple of blocks to a friend’s house to decorate some cookies and we discovered that [...]
