So this past few weeks Ivy's imagination has been kicked into overdrive. Her latest thing is to reach out and suddenly grab something from the air and say "I got it dolphin" or "froggie" or whatever she is interested in at the time ( Read more... )

We finally went to the Ecotarium this weekend and one thing I noticed. It is surprising how much bigger museums are when you are travelling with young children. This museum would probably been about a 1-2 hour tour for us in 2004, but now it was 3.5 hours and we skipped a floor or two ( Read more... )

Well the other night Ivy said her first 5 sylable word, hippopotamus. So she can now say 5 sylable words. I still don't know if she can say 4 sylable words or for that matter I can't think of any 3 sylable words. But she definatly has hippopotamus down pat.

So I have worn Sperry Topsiders pretty much exclusively for about 20 years now. I don't really care about the styling but rather my loyalty is due to their feel. These seem to be the closest thing to being barefoot as I can get away with in public. A couple of years ago it was time to replace my old pair and Bob's was having a buy one get one 1/ ( Read more... )

My 'wife' finally got around to getting a livejournal page and is starting to get around to posting some entries. She beat me to the latest Ivy Hijink and it was a good one. Since everyone uses alias's here I don't think she knows who everybody is and may need your help friending the right people. For that matter I have been way to buzy and ( Read more... )

Recently we have been trying to get Ivy to rub Mama's Tummy and say Baby. We have planned on using this to get Ivy to announce the impending arrival of a sibling. For all the whining and pleading my parents used to ask for grand-kids we thought we would have some fun telling them about future spawn. For that matter I don't think we have ever ( Read more... )
